In this Mom Moments episode I sit down with my friend Danielle—human, woman, mother, photographer, and fellow fifth-grade mom—to talk highs, lows, and finding our footing as our kids grow more independent. Danielle shares how she’s re-emerging professionally after years of prioritizing parenting, rebuilding her wedding and family photography business post-divorce and post-pandemic, while navigating the constant juggle of time, boundaries, and self-care. We swap stories about meaningful mom self-care, daily logistics and the household hacks we swear by—plus the chores we hate.
We also get candid about the fifth-grade frontier: independence, friendship drama, and the wild world of kid tech—group chats, devices, and the line between protection and preparation. From the infamous “zoo trip primate video” lesson to planning responsible cell phone introductions, we explore how to scaffold digital life skills before middle school. Danielle opens up about dating readiness after divorce, choosing intentionality over pressure, and setting standards that protect hard-won peace. We round out with goals for 2026—growing a values-led business, dating with purpose, modeling healthy relationships for our kids—and a frank mini-chat on perimenopause, sleep, and feeling like ourselves again. Cheers to building on strong scaffolding this year. ---------------------------------------------- FREE Date Better As A Mom Webinar registration https://www.coachtracie.life/services
