Motherhood Through Every Season: Raising Kids, Letting Go, & Finding Yourself Again
Motherhood changes as our children grow—and sometimes the hardest part is learning how to grow right along with them. In this episode of The Art of Motherhood , Megan sits down with Jill, a mother of five and grandmother, for an honest conversation about raising kids, letting go, and navigating the changing seasons of motherhood. From the busy years of raising five children to watching those children grow up, get married, build careers, and start families of their own, Jill shares what nearly three decades of motherhood have taught her. They talk about raising independent kids without helicopter parenting, teaching responsibility and work ethic, creating family traditions, navigating miscarriage and grief, finding meaningful friendships as a mom, and the bittersweet reality of watching your children need you less. Jill also shares what she wishes she had done differently—including making more time for herself—and what life looks like now as she approaches the empty nest, embraces grandmotherhood, and steps into a completely new adventure as a business owner. Whether you’re in the newborn years, raising teenagers, watching adult children build lives of their own, or wondering who you’ll be when the house gets quieter, this conversation is a reminder that motherhood isn’t one season. It keeps changing—and so do we.
