Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when your child grows up and you realize you can't protect them, guide every decision, or keep them from making mistakes? How do you stay close to your adult kids without trying to control their lives?   In this episode, Mark Butler joins me again to talk about the complicated transition from parenting children to having children who are adults. We discuss why this stage can feel so challenging, what happens when we hold onto the role of being the one who knows best, and how our relationships can change when we learn to see our adult kids as capable individuals with their own agency.   Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0yOAmG_Bv2s Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/583 Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching/
