Episode #013 How to Stretch the Elastic as a Midlife Mum of Teens with Guest Jo Brianti

As Midlife mums, navigating the teenage years can be a potential minefield of change and all the emotions that this encompasses. We can feel like we’re losing control as our whole routine as we know undergoes upheaval.

It’s a real struggle not to lose sight of who you are both as a Mum and as you - the woman - at this pivotal time in our lives.

And all the while there’s that looming countdown to the whole Empty Nesting journey… and listen out for a forthcoming episode focusing on that.

So Kate is delighted to be joined by Jo Brianti for Episode #013 to take an open and honest look at how to stretch the elastic with our teens. As a Mum of twin teenage boys, Jo shares her experiences and insights of beginning to let go – and at the same time discovering the joys of being able to take back our time as our offspring explore their growing independence. 

From heartwarming tales of first parent-free school trips, to practical tips and advice for nurturing their independence, Jo shares with Kate her three lessons learned during these transformative years with her double trouble. 

And, as Mum to a now 23-year-old, Kate reminisces with Jo about the importance of embracing rather than resisting change and exploring empowering choices at this evolving time in both our kids’ and our lives.
