In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from copywriter Helen Savage. She says:

“I’m a freelance writer and have less work than I’ve had for the 6 years I’ve been freelance — but at the same time my youngest child has just started walking to school by himself. I’m struggling a bit with the fact I’m going to be needed less and less by my kids and don’t have the work to fill my time and give me that sense of purpose.

I appreciate a lot of parents might want to scream at me for complaining about children being more independent 😬 but I’m having a whole new identity crisis with the combination of these two things.

How do I navigate this new phase??

How do I regain a sense of purpose when I increasingly feel no longer needed?”
