How To Stop Worrying About Your Adult Child's Future
from Intelligent Intoxication · host Terri Bradway
For midlife moms of adult children, our role shifts dramatically. While we still love them deeply, we can no longer protect, guide, or guarantee outcomes the way we could when they were adolescents. In this episode, we explore the difference between loving our children and trying to emotionally future-proof them. If you’ve been carrying sadness, fear, or helplessness as your children find their footing in adulthood, this episode is a reminder that uncertainty is not failure — it is often part of them becoming fully functioning adults. Nor is discomfort proof that they are doomed. If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who wants to learn how to support your grown kids without worrying about their futures, I can help.
