EPISODE 17: The Moments You Don’t Want to Miss (For the Mom in a Season of Change)

About this episode

In this episode, Maria Hendershot discusses how to be present during seasons of change in motherhood.

Hey mama, Are you in a season where things feel like they’re changing… even if you can’t fully name how? Maybe life feels full in a way that’s hard to explain. Busy, emotional, meaningful—all at the same time. And somewhere in the middle of it, you might find yourself wondering how to hold onto these moments… without feeling like they’re slipping through your fingers. What if this season isn’t something to hold onto tighter—but something to be in more intentionally? What if the moments you don’t want to miss aren’t the easiest ones, but the ones that stretch you a little… the ones that ask more of you… the ones that don’t always feel convenient? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about one of those seasons—what it looked like to walk through the “lasts” of one chapter while beginning to see the “firsts” of another. What would it look like to be fully present in the middle of change, instead of bracing against it? Where might you be so focused on what’s ending that you haven’t yet made space for what’s beginning? You don’t have to rush through this. You don’t have to figure it all out. You’re allowed to be in the middle of it—and still find something meaningful there…
