  • #41: The Secret to Helping Your Adult Child Find Hope Again
    One of the hardest parts about being a parent is watching your adult child move through life feeling hopeless, stuck in a negativity loop about how bad their life is. You can’t give them confidence or purpose but you can model a practice proven by neuroscience to change the brain’s chemistry. In this episode, I'll explain how something as simple as practicing gratitude impacts their brain, interrupts their ruminating thoughts, lifts their mood, reduces their worries, improves their sleep, and even restores hope. As always, I'll being sharing simple, practical ways that you can model gratitude and in so doing, guide your young adult to do the same. If they are moping around, feeling purposeless and discouraged, this episode will show you how the daily practice of gratitude can open the door to hope and possibility.Let the neurotransmitters show you how!Please share this episode with someone who needs a boost. 💻 The Waitlist for my Parenting Course is open. “Journey to Independence: A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Guiding and Launching Your Adult Child.” For more information and where to sign up, visit: https://parentingfx.com/pages/the-parenting-course 🪺Early Bird Discounts will be Offered to Anyone on the Waitlist ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you want to know if your adult child is struggling with Failure to Launch?

  • #38: Words of Wisdom from Troubled Youth | What Every Parent Needs to Hear
    Sometimes the most powerful parenting lessons don’t come from experts or books, they come from the kids who have already lived through the consequences of what they didn’t get at home. Decades ago, I read an article about a group of troubled youth who shared what they wish their parents had done differently and what they needed the most from them. Their words are just as relevant today as they were back then.  I want to share their suggestions with you as I believe they echo a truth we can’t afford to ignore and you'll understand why every parent needs to hear these 10 pieces of advice today.Change starts with you.Remember to hit the + button to follow.

  • #37: The Language of Relationships: Understanding These Therapy Terms Could Drastically Improve How You Communicate and Connect with Your Adult Child.
    Have you ever heard terms like “boundaries,” “holding space,”  or “emotional co-regulation,” and thought to yourself, “They keep throwing those words around but I really don’t know what they mean." How can you ever practice something when no one really explains them?I got you. In this episode, I break down 15 of the most common therapy terms that parents of adult children often hear but don't understand. These phrases are everywhere in parenting conversations and online advice, but without context, they can be confusing or even misused.Whether you’re trying to improve communication, reconnect, or just better understand your adult child’s emotional world, this episode will help. You’ll learn what these popular psychology and self-help buzzwords actually mean, why they matter, and how they can be applied to your relationship in a real, meaningful way.If you want to feel more confident in the way you speak, respond, and relate to your adult child, this episode is a must-listen.Remember to hit the SUBSCRIBE button so you never miss an episode, and if you know someone who will appreciate it, please share. Thanks for listening!P.S. Podcasting is great, but it's also like talking into a cavernous cavern.
