Unmasking the Grown & Flown Life – When Your Baby Becomes a College Kid
đź“Ś Episode Description:
What do you do when the house gets quiet, the fridge stays full, and your heart quietly aches behind that proud smile?
In this deeply personal episode, Tammy unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of sending your child off to college — the grief, the pride, the identity shift, and the rediscovery of self. Whether you're a mom, dad, stepparent, or grandparent, this conversation is for anyone navigating the bittersweet season of “letting go.”
Tammy shares stories from her own life — from Target runs and teary dorm goodbyes to middle-of-the-night calls and the healing power of handwritten letters. She also offers practical ways to stay connected with your college student and walks you through two heartfelt reflection rituals to support your own transition.
If you're standing in that doorway wondering who you are now that the nest is quieter — you're not alone. This episode is your gentle reminder that change isn’t the end… it’s an invitation.
