In this episode of For the Love of Parenting, we’re stepping into September’s season of renewal. While back-to-school no longer means buying school supplies, bus stops, after-school snack chaos, or drop-offs at college for me, the month still carries that unmistakable ‘fresh start’ energy.

Together, we’ll explore how parents can embrace September as more than just a transition for kids—it’s a reset for us, too. From carving out a cozy corner just for yourself to reimagining unused spaces in your home, this is about reclaiming both your physical and emotional space.

You’ll hear how small shifts—like signing up for that yoga/fitness class, dusting off the treadmill, or simply giving yourself five quiet minutes in the morning—can spark growth and renewal. September is your time to say: I matter too.

Whether your kids are little or already out of the house, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and begin again. Because new beginnings aren’t just for the young—they’re for anyone ready to reclaim their space and step into what’s nex
