As our children grow into young adults, everything changes, their independence increases, our roles evolve, and sometimes our sense of identity is quietly challenged.

Welcome to this heartfelt episode of Mums Figuring It Out where Roxanne and Jo begin a brand new Transformation Series. Join them as they explore a universal truth: change is inevitable. From the moment our children leave school, start work, or head off to university, we experience a huge shift, from being the centre of their world to becoming a listener, guide and steady presence in the background.

Together, Roxanne and Jo share their personal experiences of letting go of control, navigating emotional transitions, coping with identity shifts, and rediscovering purpose beyond hands-on parenting. They reflect on the quiet moments of loss, the unexpected opportunities for personal growth, and how mums can prepare emotionally for this next chapter.

This episode offers reassurance, practical reflection, and compassionate encouragement for any parent navigating the evolving relationship with their growing child, reminding us that we don’t have to lose ourselves as our children find their independence.

If you’re approaching a major transition in your parenting journey, or already living it, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered to grow alongside your child.

Enjoy!
