Sinopsis

When children leave home to go to university or start a job, it's an exciting time for them but a deeply emotional time for their mothers and fathers.  It signifies the end of an era and a fundamental shift in relationship.  It is a time to reflect on the previous 18 or so years as a mother, which is what Sarah Sear does very lucidly and honestly in this podcast.  She examines the decisions she made regarding how to fit in work around her three children, and expresses the almost inexpressible emotions she felt when her eldest child started university last year.
