Hope & Humor Podcast

In this episode, we talk about the difficult transition from raising children to parenting adult kids. How do we support them while respecting their independence? How do we respond when our adult children bring up ways we hurt them or mistakes we made while raising them? And how can we build the healthiest relationship possible with them?

This conversation explores letting go of control, staying connected, and growing alongside our adult children.

In this episode, we discuss how we’re our own worst bullies, why putting ourselves down feels more natural than complimenting ourselves, and how to shift our self-talk out of self-hatred mode in order to become more confident and thrive.

In this episode, we discuss what we as parents need to do to recognize mental health struggles in our kids and how to approach them in ways that don’t cause them to shut down. We talk about how some kids are often mislabeled as “bad” or rebellious, when in reality they’re kids who are in pain. We also explore how creating an environment rooted in genuine curiosity helps our children feel safe opening up and accepting our support.

So many parents feel like they're constantly falling short. This episode explores the unhealthy expectations placed on parents, the comparison and fear that creeps in, and why “good enough” parenting is actually more than good enough.
