With honest storytelling and the wisdom that only comes from raising a large, real-life family, Myia reminds us that letting go doesn’t mean losing our kids—it means trusting what we’ve built in them.

If you’ve ever felt your heart ache as your child outgrew a phase, a habit, or even your arms, this conversation is for you. Letting Go as Kids Grow is a reminder that parenting doesn’t end when children become independent—it simply evolves.
