Published: Sept. 13, 2022, 8 a.m.

Separation anxiety \u2013 but make it for moms! Today we\u2019re talking about the feelings and experiences that come up when we\u2019re separated from our children, whether it\u2019s for a couple of hours or many days. Meagan and Sarah look back on what separation felt like as new moms, how the tears at preschool drop-off years are sort of the worst, and why we both can go into \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d compartmentalization pretty easily when we\u2019re not with our kids. We also discuss how much information we like to have about what our kids are up to when they\u2019re away from us, and whether it helps or hurts to get a peek into their lives away from us. Whether you\u2019re getting ready for your first caregiver handoff or sending an adult off to college, this episode is for you!
