You've drafted the message. Your fingers hover over send. Part of you thinks this is your only chance. Another part knows it might make things worse. This episode is about knowing when to speak, and when not to.  When you don't hear from your adult child that often, the pressure builds to say everything at once. But some moments just don't have room for what you need to say. We explore:  how timing isn't about politeness, it’s about creating space how your tone reveals what's happening inside you more than your words ever could and why knowing what you actually want from the conversation makes all the difference You'll hear Karen's story about waiting three months for the right moment, and why that patience created the opening her daughter needed to actually listen.  If this episode helped, feel free to share it with someone who might need it.
