Episode #65:

Holding Hope: A Good Enough Goodbye

 

This week’s episode is a special one.

It’s the final episode of the Good Enough Parenting podcast — and saying that out loud feels both tender and true. Bittersweet, in the way meaningful things often are.

Over the past few years, this podcast has been a place of connection. A reminder that you don’t have to get it right all the time. A soft landing on hard parenting days. A voice in your earbuds when things felt lonely, overwhelming, or just plain heavy.

In this episode, I share a bit of the story behind why this podcast was created, the podcasts that carried me through my own early parenting years, and what it’s been like to watch this little idea grow into a community that spans far beyond what I ever imagined.

I also talk about change — about seasons shifting, about listening closely to where we’re needed, and about why this isn’t really an ending so much as a pause… and an opening.

And I end with the parenting mantra I come back to again and again — especially when the world feels loud, uncertain, or heavy:

Slow down.
Choose love.
Have faith.
Hold hope.

If this podcast has ever kept you company on a walk, in the car, during a late-night worry spiral, or in the quiet moments when you just needed reassurance that you were doing okay — this episode is for you.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. Thank you for showing up imperfectly and remembering your kids don’t need you to be perfect – just good enough.
