May is kind of a crapshoot, isn't it? Between recitals and end of the year projects and regional track meets (plus a week of teacher appreciation thrown in), we can often feel overwhelmed by the mayhem. This week we're talking about ALL of it.

With one part positivity and two parts solidarity, we can get through it together!

One day you're rocking a newborn, the next day you're watching that same kid graduate from high school. In this episode, Mikala takes us through senior year as a mom watching (and helping!) her teen prepare to leave the nest, and she shares what she's learned after navigating this process twice (so far!) And you'll probably be surprised by one big thing she DID NOT do, that surprisingly hasn't impacted senior year at all.
