Ep 13: Parenting Adult Children—Why Is It So Hard?

So, you spent years raising your little bundle of joy—wiping noses, helping with homework, and reminding them to eat their veggies. Now they’re all grown up, and suddenly... they have opinions, boundaries, and the audacity to live their own lives. 😱

Sound familiar? You're not alone. One of my podcast listeners asked, “Why is parenting adult children so hard?” And trust me—I have thoughts.

In this episode, we break down:
✔️ The wild ride from infancy to adulthood—what’s actually happening in their brains? 🤯
✔️ Why they don’t need you the same way anymore (and why that’s a good thing!)
✔️ Boundaries—yes, they have them too, and guess what? You need to respect them.
✔️ How you are evolving as a parent—because let’s be real, you’re not the same person you were when they were five.
✔️ The fine art of offering wisdom vs. unwanted advice (spoiler: they don’t always want your parenting tips for their kids!).

It’s real, it’s raw, and yes—there’s a little humor in the chaos. Because at the end of the day, parenting never truly ends... but it does change.

So grab a coffee (or a wine - I’m not judging), and let’s talk about the new phase of parenting. Because walking beside your adult child is a whole lot better than trying to drag them along.
