Can't Tap Out: One Mom on Single Parenting, Perimenopause, and Repair

What happens when your teenager is deep in puberty, your tween is just starting to feel the first shifts — and meanwhile, you're navigating perimenopause on your own? In this episode, Dr. Sheryl talks with Camille, a single mom of two outside Nashville, who's living that exact season right now. They talk about what it really means to parent alone — not just the logistics, but the emotional weight of having no one to tap out to, no one to download the day to at night. They get into the "mom AND dad" myth (and why letting go of it changed everything), the strange grief that comes from giving your kids what you never had, and what it actually looks and feels like to repair yourself while you're raising them. Good Inside now supports the entire parenting journey: pregnancy, babies, big kids, tweens, and teens — because the questions change as kids grow, but parents still need support.
