You're the Helper Mom

—And That’s a Beautiful Strength.


Maggie Seaver was steady, supportive, and deeply committed to her family’s well-being. She was the one who made space for her kids to feel seen, heard, and loved—without demanding anything in return.

You show up with your whole heart. You listen. You give. And even when your adult kids don't quite know how to express it, they feel your love in everything you do.

When I thought about one tool that could help midlife moms better navigate the challenges of raising adult kids, this was it: Knowing your parenting style is powerful.

Because when you understand your strengths—and your tendencies to over-function, avoid conflict, or quietly carry resentment—you can start parenting from a place of wisdom, not just instinct.

This is the kind of awareness that shifts everything.
It’s your midlife superpower.

Here Are Four Things You’re Naturally Great At:

Creating Emotional Safety

Your kids know they can come to you without fear.

Being Fully Present

You make time, even when you're tired.

Offering Gentle Encouragement

You help them believe in themselves.

Showing Love Through Action

You express care in big and small ways every day.

But You Know Something Needs to Shift…

Midlife motherhood brings new dynamics—and sometimes, silent heartaches.


You want to help, but you’re learning that help isn’t always wanted. You long for closeness, but your child may pull away just when you lean in. And though you rarely say it out loud, you sometimes wonder: Do they still need me?

You show love with actions—but when those actions aren’t acknowledged or reciprocated, it can leave you feeling unappreciated or even invisible.

Taking this quiz may have felt lighthearted, but the insight it offers is anything but superficial.
 You deserve tools that help you set healthy boundaries, communicate with clarity, and show up in a way that serves both you and your child.

I’d love to help you with that.

Hey, I'm Lisa

 - and I’m Walking This Road Too


As a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience, a certified midlife coach, and a mom of young adult kids myself, I’ve seen this season from every angle—personally and professionally.


I’ve sat across from hundreds of parents navigating this exact stage of life:

  • The letting go without losing connection
  • The awkward silences where there used to be closeness
  • The confusion about when to step in—and when to step back

The truth is, no one really prepared us for this chapter of motherhood.
 The rules have changed. The rhythm is different. But the longing for a strong, healthy relationship with your adult child? That part stays the same.

And here’s what I know:
 When you understand your own wiring—your strengths, your tendencies, your blind spots—you’re not just guessing anymore. You’re parenting with clarity and confidence.

This is what I want for you.
 Because the relationship you want with your kids is still possible—and it starts right here.
