In this episode, I’m sitting in the ache and the awe of all the “firsts” and “lasts.” Because as our kids grow up, we do too—and every milestone reshapes who we are, how we love, and how we let go.

I have a confession: I’m a 40-year-old TikToker who’s completely fallen down the Morgan Roos rabbit hole 🙃 Her honesty, her mess, her growth—it’s all so real. And this week, she got me thinking about fear… the kind that doesn’t just show up, but settles in and gets comfortable.

In this week’s episode of Mama Knows Mess, I’m talking about the kind of fear that feels protective—but actually holds us back. The fear that whispers you’re not ready when you’re already in it, doing the thing.

This is one of my most raw and personal episodes yet—not because I love being vulnerable (hi, it’s terrifying 🙃), but because I hope it makes you feel a little bigger if you’re still trying to find your place, your people, your peace.
