Navigating Transitions with Your Adult Children
from Intelligent Intoxication · host Terri Bradway
In this episode, we’ll explore how to support our adult children as they move from the familiarity and freedom of college life into first jobs, new routines, and greater responsibility. We'll focus on supporting them with empathy rather than urgency while normalizing the mix of excitement, grief, uncertainty, and hope that often accompanies major life changes. As our children step into new seasons, we navigate our own transitions as mothers as we release roles we've cherished, honor what has been, and learn to trust what we’re creating now. In this episode, we'll explore: Why transitions can feel both exciting and disorienting How to validate your adult child's mixed emotions The importance of normalizing grief during celebratory milestones If you’re the midlife mom of adult children who can use some support and encouragement as you navigate both your kids’ transitions and your own, I can help.
