Welcome to The Other Side of Motherhood
Where we talk about the messy and magic of midlife
There's a conversation we're not having about motherhood.
We talk about pregnancy, labor, sleep training, and starting solids. We debate schools, sports, and screen time. We share survival tips for the teenage years and college applications. But what about what comes after?
What about that moment you realize your teenager hasn’t asked you to make lunch in months, or when you find yourself with a quiet Sunday afternoon, no soccer game, no chauffeuring duty, and just… you?
That’s why I created The Other Side of Motherhood.
The Evolution of Modern Motherhood
After more than 17 years of working with moms, I’ve come to see motherhood in three stages:
Full-Time Mom (Kids under 10): You’re in the thick of it. The days are endless, and self-care feels like something for other people.
Part-Time Mom (Tweens & Teens): They need you, just… differently. There’s some breathing room here—glimpses of future freedom you didn’t know you missed.
On-Call Mom (Kids out of the house): The calls might be fewer, but they still come. And now, there’s time. Time to rediscover yourself, to learn what life looks like when it’s finally yours to design.
Here’s what nobody tells you: these transitions start long before the kids leave home. You begin hearing echoes of future freedom when they solve their own problems or forget to text you goodnight.
