We are a mother daughter team trying to navigate growing up!
Kids struggle, moms and dads struggle - let's talk about how to survive and even enjoy it! We plan on discussing our real lives and how we figure out the twists and turns that life throws at us as we grow up.
Mom - FT marketing professional, wife, mom, and never say "no-er". I reach for the stars and am always looking for new ventures.
Daughter - fun, smart and artistic teen. Struggling with friendships, school, healthy choices & depression.

This episode we take a deep dive into what is bothering Soph. It's so many things, a tangled web of emotions that have boiled up over time. It's hard to be a caregiver for someone that doesn't want to care. This session was extremely therapeutic for both of us.
