    What Does Change Really Look Like?

    Send us Fan Mail Change is something we all talk about… but what does it really look like when you are living it?  In this episode of Mums Figuring It Out, we explore the reality of transformation, not the polished version, but the one that feels uncertain, uncomfortable, and sometimes completely unexpected. From shifting identities as mums of older children, to letting go of what once felt familiar, this conversation gently unpacks the emotional and practical layers of change. We reflect on how growth shows up in everyday moments, how perspective can quietly reshape your journey, and why embracing change, rather than resisting it, can open the door to something more aligned, more intentional, and more you. If you have ever found yourself asking, “Is this what change is supposed to feel like?” — this episode is for you. Because sometimes, change is not loud or obvious… Sometimes, it is subtle, personal, and happening right beneath the surface.   Enjoy!

    Letting Go of Expectations

    Send us Fan Mail 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.   Enjoy!!  Remember to connect with us online to join the conversation: Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/mumsfiguringitout Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/mumsfiguringitout Twitter  https://www.twitter.com/mums_out

    Who Am I Now? Rediscovering Yourself as Your Child Becomes Independent

    Send us Fan Mail As our children grow into young adults, everything changes, their independence increases, our roles evolve, and sometimes our sense of identity is quietly challenged. Welcome to this heartfelt episode of Mums Figuring It Out where Roxanne and Jo begin a brand new Transformation Series. Join them as they explore a universal truth: change is inevitable. From the moment our children leave school, start work, or head off to university, we experience a huge shift, from being the centre of their world to becoming a listener, guide and steady presence in the background. Together, Roxanne and Jo share their personal experiences of letting go of control, navigating emotional transitions, coping with identity shifts, and rediscovering purpose beyond hands-on parenting. They reflect on the quiet moments of loss, the unexpected opportunities for personal growth, and how mums can prepare emotionally for this next chapter. This episode offers reassurance, practical reflection, and compassionate encouragement for any parent navigating the evolving relationship with their growing child, reminding us that we don’t have to lose ourselves as our children find their independence. If you’re approaching a major transition in your parenting journey, or already living it, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered to grow alongside your child. Enjoy!
