Bert has been dreaming about and wanting just a little bit of alone time since she became a mom. Now it’s happened, the kids are doing their own things - without her. This week Bert is reflecting on the old saying “the days are long, but the years are short” and what it means to finally have that alone time she’s always dreamed of. Bert discusses how being tired as a mom changes from physical to emotional as her children’s needs change from toddlers to teenagers and reminds us all to stop once a day and appreciate the moment – our kids won’t need us again as much as they do right now.For more information, check out Bert's website: https://bertmanderson.comMatriarch Digital Media produces this and other podcasts that understand, encourage and uplift women.
