Launched but Not Lost: Rediscovering Purpose + Friendship in the Adult Parenting Years with Kristen Gatlin Part 2

“I walked past their empty bedroom and felt a lump rise in my throat. The silence was deafening. For the first time in years, no backpacks by the door, no late-night check-ins… just me, a quiet house, and a haunting question: Who am I now?”

If you’ve ever stood in that doorway—caught between pride and grief—this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of our heartfelt conversation, Dr. Shannan Crawford sits down again with Crawford Clinics' beloved therapist Kristen Gatlin to explore the emotional journey of launching kids into adulthood and rediscovering your own identity along the way. Together, they unpack how to:
