118. The Thing That Happened At The Mall And How We Handled It
<p>When Independence Gets Real (and a Little Scary)... In this story time episode, Lisa shares a milestone moment in her daughter Avery’s journey toward independence: a trip to the mall with friends—no parents, no hovering, no safety net. What started as a proud (and slightly nerve-wracking) step into teenage freedom turned into a rollercoaster of emotions involving a shopping mishap, a heart-to-heart, and a terrifying twist that hit too close to home. Tune in for laughs, life lessons, and a reminder that letting go, even just a little, is one of the bravest things we can do as parents.</p><p>***</p><p>This podcast was recorded in Garage Band and edited by Lisa Thornbury (with assistance from Avery).</p><p>Read more and find the transcript for this episode at <a href="https://averybrightlife.com/">averybrightlife.com</a>.</p><p>And, come chat with us on social!
