BECOME THE MOM THEY WANT TO CALL
You love your adult kids. But somewhere along the way the conversations got harder. You second-guess everything before you say it. You replay it after. Some days you say too much and can feel them pull back. Other days you say nothing at all, because nothing feels safe enough. And the quiet between you keeps growing in a way that scares you a little.
You're using the only script you've ever known, and it was written for a different season.
In this episode I walk you through 4 of the most common conversations our adult kids come to us with, and what happens when we lead and try to fix it like we did when they were young kids, versus how we can learn to walk beside them instead as adults. I think you'll recognize yourself in at least one of them.
3 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ You still think you're supposed to have the answer. Letting go of that might be the thing that actually helps them most.
2️⃣ Watching them make the wrong call and staying quiet anyway might be the hardest thing you do all week.
3️⃣ You're not the mom you used to be, and some days that catches you off guard more than you'd admit.
