Coming Soon

This show explores what’s really happening during this intense and transformative stage of life — from big emotions and shifting friendships to dating, academic pressure, social media, identity, and body changes. The in-between years aren’t a series of problems to fix; they’re a stage to understand. Each episode slows things down and looks beneath the surface so you can respond instead of react — because the more confident you feel, the more confident your kid feels, too. Your child may be growing up, but that doesn’t mean they need you less. They need you differently. Coming Soon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

But underneath it all, "Are you still someone I can come to? Please don't go." Because so much is changing, bodies, friendships, identity, emotions. Bigger, faster, harder to hide. And as a parent, what used to feel natural can suddenly fall flat. You might find yourself wondering, "Why are they pulling away? Why are they so

    What’s changing for kids—and why parenting suddenly feels harder

We'll talk about what's underneath the mood swings, what's really happening when they say, "Leave me alone," how to set boundaries that build connection, how to stay steady when your kid feels anything but. Here's what I want you to know. Your kid is still good inside, even when their behavior

You just have to stay in it, because your steadiness is what steadies them. Yes, they're growing up. They don't need you less, they need you differently. This is The In Between Years.
