The Gymnastics of Parenting

Consultant and podcaster Stacy Heller discusses the pivots she's making now that kids are out of the house.

Consultant and podcaster Stacy Heller is entering a new phase in life. With four kids in their twenties and a partner of more than 30 years, her role as a mom has shifted so much that she easily has the language of how to pivot and how to guide her family through the process.

In this episode, Stacy's honesty and candor exudes joy with raw vulnerability about how she's navigating unforeseen pivots and entering a new phase of motherhood with grown children.  


In This Episode

Sometimes, you just need someone who has been in your shoes to tell you that everything is going to be OK. Not only does Stacy does that, but she also opens a few cans of worms, too, including:

  • The balance between parenting and caregiving for parents.

  • The things we learn about ourselves when our partners are forced to pivot or make a big life change (hint: it isn’t always pretty).

  • The one thing she credits a long marriage to.
