Mums Figuring It Out is a podcast built on honest, heartfelt conversations about motherhood, identity, growth and the realities of life in between.

With warmth, humour, vulnerability and real life reflections, Mums Figuring It Out reminds women that they do not need to have everything perfectly together to keep growing.
Because the truth is… we are all still figuring it out.
Mums Figuring It Out
Letting Go of Expectations
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As your child grows into independence, everything begins to shift, routines, roles, and even the expectations you once held so firmly.
In this heartfelt episode of Mums Figuring It Out, Roxanne and Jo explore what it truly means to navigate the delicate transition from guiding your child… to allowing them to guide themselves.
From last-minute changes of plans to redefining family boundaries, this conversation unpacks the emotional tension between holding on and letting go. How do you stay connected without controlling? How do you maintain your values while creating space for theirs?
Through honest reflections and real-life moments, this episode reminds us that parenting older children is not about perfection, it is about communication, compassion, and conscious choice.
If you have ever felt the pull between your expectations and your child’s independence, this episode will help you release what no longer serves and embrace a new way of relating: one built on trust, respect, and evolving connection.
Because sometimes, letting go is not losing control… it is making room for growth — for both of you.
