Episode Fresh Take: Meagan Francis, THE LAST PARENTING BOOK YOU'LL EVER READ
Amy chats with parenting writer and The Mom Hour podcaster Meagan Francis about her new book, The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read: How We Let Our Kids Go and Embrace What’s Next. Together, they reflect on the identity shift that comes with parenting an emptying nest, the emotional complexity of "lasts," and why transitioning out of the "hands-on" years of parenting requires the same patience with ourselves that entering those years did.
Listen to the Substack Live Amy and Meagan did recently to discuss Amy's book HAPPY TO HELP!
🎧 Amy and Meagan discuss:
•
Why "arms full to hands-free" parenting isn't so bad
•
How to navigate the emptying nest without feeling a loss of identity
•
Why cherishing every moment is overrated—and impossible
•
The truth about staying close to your adult kids
•
The importance of maintaining our own friendships and identity as our kids grow
