40. When Children Become Adults
In this episode of Simply at the Table, the mother-daughter team talks about how they navigated the transition from children to teens and into adulthood. For young adults, this journey from adolescence to adulthood can be both exciting and daunting, filled with moments of joy, challenge, and self-discovery. In this conversation, we explore how to navigate this pivotal stage, the things we didn't know, and how we grew from them. Transitioning into adulthood is not just about practical changes; it is also an emotional journey. Young adults often experience the freedom that comes with adulthood can be exhilarating. New opportunities for exploration, education, and career paths await. As the relationship shifts, it creates an opportunity to connect as friends. Parents get to discover who their children are and what's important to them, as well as reconcile past hurts. Children get to see their parents beyond just meeting their needs, and see their humanity in a new way. We are grateful for each listener and look forward to another year of conversations, insights, and community building. Thank you for being part of our journey!
