| 28 Mar 2024 | Close Circles & Shifting Sands: Embracing Friendship Changes in Senior Year | 00:18:18 | |
In today’s episode, Cindy jumps into the beautiful mess that is friendship during our seniors' pivotal moments. She touches on the bittersweet truth that as we gear up for new life chapters, friendships often morph and, sometimes, drift away. And yep, it's a tough cookie to swallow, figuring out who'll be by our side in the next act. Science chimes in with a little nugget of wisdom: the happiest teens are those with a close-knit circle of one or two pals despite being surrounded by a sea of group activities. But wait, moms aren’t immune to the friendship shuffle either! Cindy sheds light on how recognizing those connections, sparked by our kids’ shared interests, can soften the blow of fading friendships. Her kind reminder that not all friendships are meant for the long haul but are meaningful is like a warm hug for the heart. Adopting an attitude of gratitude for the friendships that have colored our lives makes navigating the upcoming changes a tad easier.

Hey there, fellow nostalgia enthusiasts and romantics at heart! Cindy Manko here, inviting you to dive into the delightful world of love letters with me on today's episode.
Let's stroll down memory lane, back to the days of choosing the perfect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or Disney princess to adorn our classroom Valentine's Day cards, and fast-forward to the hormone-fueled hallways of middle school, where every note passed was a high-stakes emotional gamble.

Whether you're a hopeless romantic or a skeptic who thinks love letters are relics of the past, this episode has something for everyone. We're unpacking the magic of pouring your heart out on paper and how those early expressions of love shape the way we show care to ourselves and others.
So grab your favorite stationery, and let's get ready to celebrate the art of affectionate correspondence and the joy it brings both sender and receiver. Tune in, share the love, and remember—sometimes the best things in life really are written in ink.

| 25 Jan 2024 | Transforming Parent-Teen Conflict into Collaboration During Senior Year [Episode16] | 00:21:54 | |
This week, Cindy checks in on your heart as you are on the downward slope of your child’s senior year.
Cindy shares two examples of worry that her clients are talking about.
The closer we draw near to the end of this era, the more panic buttons are being hit. These two moms learn to wrestle with the fear of their situations. One mom realized her son would make the best of any situation and debunked her fear. The other melted into the fact that her daughter finally sees her as an ally and understood, in hindsight, that it wasn’t personal when her daughter fought back the past couple of years.
We sometimes feel like the punching bag taking all the emotions our kids throw our way…but, really, we just absorb the frustrations, the anger, and the confusion so they can breathe, and then they pick it up again. It is not personal; it is a way to help them process.
Cindy’s solution to these tough, heartstring-pulling ordeals is to write in the prompted journal she has written. The Journal Project: My Senior Year Through Mom’s Eyes has room for all the different conversations. And the more you write, the more you have to talk about. It draws you closer as the time to let go grows closer, too. RESOURCES FOR YOU, MOM:

In this throwback episode of the Listen Love Launch Podcast, I share my personal struggles with identity and mental health during the empty nest transition after my children graduated. I discuss the profound impact of rediscovering my self-worth and purpose in midlife, aided by a life coach and my friend Elise, which led me to the creation of the journal project and this podcast.
