🎉 Growing Up in the Middle | Life in the Middle Podcast

This week’s episode is a special one — our youngest turns 16 the day this episode releases.

We’re not just talking about a birthday… we’re talking about milestones. The shift from protecting to preparing. From car seats to car keys. From bedtime stories to late-night talks.

In this episode, we reflect on:
• What it feels like when your kids start driving away
• The milestones that hit harder than we expected
• Parenting in the “middle years”
• Letting go without losing connection
• And how growing up changes us just as much as it changes them

Plus, we play a milestone edition of This or That and share some honest moments about what this season really feels like.

If you’re parenting teens — or remembering when yours were little — this one will hit home.
