This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Rachel Zoe, and you're listening to Climbing in Heels for your weekly dose of glamour,

inspiration, and fun.

Okay, so life has been crazier, even than usual, actually, if that's possible. Not only is this time of year when school's winding down, and there's a million things on the calendar, but I also just celebrated my first born son's 13th birthday. I honestly cannot believe Sky's old enough to be a teenager, technically,

and I have to say it was probably the most extraordinary in heart-wrenching, emotionally draining

experience. And I would say being a mom is, of course, my absolute most favorite job and

favorite thing I've ever done. So I wanted to share a little bit

with all of you about this big moment and all the feels that go along with it because I feel

like so many of you out there are going through the same thing at different stages of your children's

lives. Happy Mother's Day. Oh, thanks, honey. I'd say, too. But soon.

I am only, I am but a fur mom.

I am but a firm mom, nonetheless.

Not that that's not challenging at times.

It definitely can be.

Okay, so the title of this week's episode, you and I have been talking about this for a while.

I think a lot of our listeners are most likely in the same for a while. I think a lot of our listeners

are most likely in the same boat with you. There's a lot of kids that are graduating,

whether you are a parent that's becoming an empty nester and your child's going off to

college. That's going to be brutal, by the way. That I, we're going to medicate you for that.

Or your child has graduated kindergarten or preschool and is moving on to that face.
