There’s a moment in parenting that catches you off guard…
 when you realize your child is no longer yours to hold, but yours to release.

In this episode of Be Who You Came to Be, Tara opens up about her son heading off to college and the wave of emotions that comes with it. The pride. The grief. The excitement. The ache. All of it existing at the same time.

She shares a powerful reframe: if it feels big, it’s because it matters. The depth of your emotion isn’t something to fix, it’s something to honor.

This conversation is for any parent navigating transition, learning to let go, and finding the balance between holding on and allowing growth. It’s about trusting the process, staying connected, and remembering that supporting their next chapter doesn’t mean losing your place in their story.

Because this is the work of parenting…
loving deeply, allowing them to be who they came to be and letting go.
