  • #38: Words of Wisdom from Troubled Youth | What Every Parent Needs to Hear
    Sometimes the most powerful parenting lessons don’t come from experts or books, they come from the kids who have already lived through the consequences of what they didn’t get at home. Decades ago, I read an article about a group of troubled youth who shared what they wish their parents had done differently and what they needed the most from them. Their words are just as relevant today as they were back then.  I want to share their suggestions with you as I believe they echo a truth we can’t afford to ignore and you'll understand why every parent needs to hear these 10 pieces of advice today.Change starts with you.Remember to hit the + button to follow.

  • #37: The Language of Relationships: Understanding These Therapy Terms Could Drastically Improve How You Communicate and Connect with Your Adult Child.
    Have you ever heard terms like “boundaries,” “holding space,”  or “emotional co-regulation,” and thought to yourself, “They keep throwing those words around but I really don’t know what they mean." How can you ever practice something when no one really explains them?I got you. In this episode, I break down 15 of the most common therapy terms that parents of adult children often hear but don't understand. These phrases are everywhere in parenting conversations and online advice, but without context, they can be confusing or even misused.Whether you’re trying to improve communication, reconnect, or just better understand your adult child’s emotional world, this episode will help. You’ll learn what these popular psychology and self-help buzzwords actually mean, why they matter, and how they can be applied to your relationship in a real, meaningful way.If you want to feel more confident in the way you speak, respond, and relate to your adult child, this episode is a must-listen.Remember to hit the SUBSCRIBE button so you never miss an episode, and if you know someone who will appreciate it, please share. Thanks for listening!P.S. Podcasting is great, but it's also like talking into a cavernous cavern. (I went hiking and climbing through them the other day, so my reference is for real!) My point is, I have no idea if anyone is listening, so if you want to reach me, tell me what you think, share some topics with me that you'd love to me to talk about - or find guests to talk about, I'd love to hear from you, love to hear from you, love to hear from you.

  • #36: The Inspiring Story of a Young Woman Who - With the Encouragement of Her Parents - Refused to Let Her Learning Disability Define Her.
    If your adult child has a learning disability and feels stigmatized, unmotivated, and has a "life isn't fair" attitude, or perhaps your adult child simply makes excuses for their lacklustre life and spends a lot of time feeling sorry for themselves, you better believe this episode is for you.Michelle Steiner’s story is exactly what every parent needs to hear if they feel bad for their young adult because they believe the narrative that was told to them when their child was first diagnosed.Michelle could have believed what her teachers told her when she was younger, that she wouldn’t be able to go to college or get a good job because of her learning disability. But she nor her parents would accept that. If you’ve been caught in the trap of believing your child "can’t", this conversation will make you think again. Whether your adult child is struggling with failure to launch, or you’ve quietly stopped believing they can ever live independently, this episode will open your eyes to how far someone can go when the people who care about them stop making excuses and start believing in their ability to rise.Michelle Steiner’s story isn’t just inspirational, it’s a mindset shift for every parent who’s been told their child won’t succeed. In this honest, motivational interview, Michelle shares what it was like growing up with a learning disability and how the support around her made all the difference.If your adult child is stuck or caught in a cycle of self-pity, this conversation will challenge you to stop making excuses and start seeing what's truly possible.Please share this episode with any parent who needs their faith restored in their adult child's ability to find something in their life that lights them up.

  • #35: How to Raise Respectful, Responsible, Independent Adults While They're Living at Home and the Game-Changing Resource That Makes It Possible
    The link to The Living Together Agreement e-book is here - https://parentingfx.com/products/living-together-agreementLiving with your adult child is either difficult or it's driving you crazy, but it doesn’t have to be that way. You think you've tried everything, but you've only used your words and unfortunately, they don't carry any weight.  In this episode, I share the 5 essential pillars every parent needs to have in place to raise a respectful, responsible, and independent young adult while they’re still living under your roof. You’ll discover how these pillars create the foundation for mutual respect, shared responsibilities, and long-term independence. Plus, I’ll introduce you to a powerful parenting resource that offers you the perfect solution that includes a step-by-step framework to help you set expectations and create a home environment where your young adult can grow, contribute, and  become ready to live on their own one day. Without this in place, your home might always be a battlefield of resentment, entitlement and complacency. This gives you the opportunity to change that and live in harmony with your adult child for as long as you both want. 💻 The Waitlist for my Parenting Course is open. “Journey to Independence: A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Guiding and Launching Your Adult Child.” For more information and where to sign up, visit: https://parentingfx.com/pages/the-parenting-course 🪺Early Bird Discounts will be Offered to Anyone on the Waitlist ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you want to know if your adult child is struggling with Failure to Launch?
