It's natural to feel compelled to reach out to fix things at every level of estrangement. We've been taught to pursue, talk, challenge, and perhaps even expect certain aspects of a relationship with our adult child.You want closeness, but every “fix it” attempt seems to push your adult child farther away. The tension escalates, accusations worsen, and hurtful words or actions become more personal. It makes no sense, and the confusion turns to helplessness. Well-intentioned friends, family, and therapists may advise you to walk away. To close the door. However, is that really what you want? What if there is another option?In this episode, Dr. Janet shows you how concrete self-reflection, neutral consideration of both perspectives, and humble authenticity can change that. You will take the first step to see your communication style and behaviors through your adult child's eyes. You will begin to consider your own communication patterns (e.g., tone, timing, word choice, and intensity) and the power of modifying your communication in real time. You will consider the importance of regulating emotions in the moment and the value of modeling actions that invite trust. Remember, moving through estrangement to rebuild trust and establish healthier communication is at the heart of a new and healthy relationship with your son or daughter. This isn't a sprint; it's steady, observable change your adult child can feel—even from a distance. If you're ready to rebuild calm, clarity, and compassion, this is your starting line.Related EpisodesMom, Mentor, Grandma: Flexing Roles Without Fueling the Fire of EstrangementWhen the Green Monster Rears Its Head: Jealousy and EstrangementWhen Communication Becomes a Power Struggle: Power, Influence, Gaslighting and Coercive Control6 Tips to Proactively Give Space to Your Adult Child and Avoid Misrepresentation#FamilyEstrangement #EstrangedAdultChild #ParentReconnection #ParentalAlienation #ReconnectionStrategist #EstrangementSupport #ParentAdultChildRelationship #EmotionalRegulation #Boundaries #TrustBuilding #CommunicationSkills #EstrangementGrief #MothersOfEstrangedDaughters #FathersOfEstrangedSons #RepairingRelationshipsHi Listeners.

What do you do when your adult child starts making choices you don't agree with, and your heart feels torn between truth, fear, and unconditional love?In this episode, I'm speaking directly to Christian mothers who are navigating the emotional weight of parenting adult children. Maybe you raised them in church. You prayed. You taught them the Word. And now, their decisions around faith, relationships, lifestyle, or priorities look nothing like what you hoped or expected.Sis, you're not alone, and you're not failing.We talk honestly about how to respond when you disagree with your adult child's choices without damaging the relationship or compromising your faith. This conversation will help you move from anxiety to peace, from control to trust, and from fear to faith

ABOUT THE EPISODE:If you've been waiting for the right moment to bring up the idea of getting your young adult some support, and you're not sure how to do it without blowing up every landmine between you, this episode is for you. Joanna Lilley, therapeutic consultant and host of the podcast Success is Subjective, is back on Hopestream, and she's pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to help a young adult move toward help. Joanna works exclusively with the 18 to 29 crowd, and her approach is deceptively simple: meet them where they are, agenda-free, not where your fear wants them to be.What makes Joanna's process so potent is the way it preserves a young adult's agency at every step. There's no attempt at maneuvering them into a decision or finding the magic words that finally crack them open. It's about creating the conditions where they feel like the architect of what comes next, and why that buy-in matters more than the program itself. Joanna also gets real about what she's seeing shift in the treatment landscape right now, including why young adults are staying longer in programs, how the complexity of what's showing up has changed dramatically, and what questions parents actually need to be asking before you commit to anything.When you listen, you'll learn:Why some young adults may have a deeply distorted picture of what treatment looks like, and how to gently disrupt that narrative without pushing them further awayHow Joanna structures her first conversation with a young adult so it feels like a genuine exchange rather than a formal ‘intake' processWhy giving your young adult the choice of who to work with matters just as much as the choice of where to goWhy it's wise to start the ‘what might treatment look like' process before you think you need to and what it might cost you if you waitEPISODE RESOURCES:Joanna Lilley (Lilley Consulting) websiteJoanna on Hopestream podcast episode #208 Joanna on Hopestream podcast episode #39This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Lyn welcomes Catherine Hickem, an author and psychotherapist, to explore the complex dynamics of the parent and adult child relationship.  Drawing from her extensive experience in psychotherapy and coaching, Catherine shares insights into the challenges faced by parents of adult children, particularly in the context of estrangement and communication breakdowns. KEY TAKEAWAYS The relationship between parents and adult children can be complex, often influenced by past experiences and communication styles Open and honest communication is crucial in maintaining healthy relationships. When disagreements arise, it's vital to address them rather than allowing them to fester Mistakes and failures are valuable learning opportunities. Encouraging children to embrace their mistakes promotes resilience and independence, allowing them to grow without fear of failure. Parents should focus on their own well-being and personal growth, recognising that their value is not solely dependent on their children's actions or opinions BEST MOMENTS "Over 50% of adult children do not share their lives with their parents... We now have a 27% estrangement rate in the United States."  "When we don't forgive, we're actually hostage to the very people we're not forgiving."  "It's important that we realise our value isn't dependent upon whether our children agree or disagree with us." "Your success as a parent isn't based upon how your children turn out." ABOUT THE GUEST - Catherine Hickem – Author & PsychotherapistCatherine speaks to unspoken expectations and boundary setting in family life, translating that into practical guidance for parents navigating the transition with adult children. She's an Author, Psychotherapist & Founder of Parenting Adult Children Today, and brings decades of clinical practice plus lived experience as a parent navigating the same terrain. Her work focuses on helping families move from control to curiosity, and to become a steady presence in their adult children's lives.TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@parentingadultchildren2d ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn's personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace.

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 205:  How to Reconnect with an Estranged Adult Child by Calming Your Righting Reflex  What if the harder you try to help your adult child, the more they pull away? In this episode, we talk about why your adult child won't talk to you, how our child-centered parenting culture has increased anxiety for both parents and kids, and how that anxiety is now playing out in your relationship with your grown child. Tina Gosney is a family conflict coach and family life educator. This episode is grounded in a research-based article from Family Process called “Balanced Parenting,” which uses Bowen Family Systems Theory to explain why so many loving parents feel responsible for their adult child's emotions—and why that often backfires. This episode is for you if: You're wondering, “Why won't my adult child talk to me?”You feel like “my adult child is pulling away” and you're walking on eggshellsYou've searched for “how to reconnect with an estranged adult child” or “how to fix a broken relationship with adult child”You sometimes think, “I feel rejected by my adult child” and don't know how to make it betterYou're scared this might end in adult children cutting off parents, and you don't want that to be your storyYou'll see how our anxious, child-focused culture trained you to over-function for your child's emotions, and how that same pattern can make adult children feel watched, judged, or controlled. What we cover: What the research on Balanced Parenting says about parents taking on too much emotional responsibilityHow the righting reflex (the urge to fix, correct, and rescue) shows up in parenting adult children relationshipsHow anxiety gets passed around the family system when no one has learned to manage their ownWhy your adult child may shut down or distance themselves when you're “only trying to help”A new, balanced, differentiation-based approach that helps you calm yourself instead of trying to manage your adult childYou'll leave with a clearer understanding of the big picture—and some first steps to start changing  If you're tired of reacting to what's happening in your family and want more internal calm and confidence, I'd love to support you.

An Unhelpful QuestionIf you're lying awake asking yourself, “Why won't my adult child talk to me?” you are not alone.This question sits at the heart of so much pain for parents navigating emotional distance from adult children.

Send us a textEpisode 203: "Why Won't My Adult Child Talk to Me?" The False Comfort of AI AnswersIf you've ever typed “why won't my adult child talk to me” into Google at 2 a.m., hoping for clarity or comfort, you're not alone. Many parents experiencing estrangement from adult children are turning to AI tools for support—hoping to find relief from the pain, confusion, and rejection they feel. But while AI might offer quick comfort, it can't truly help you reconnect with an estranged adult child or heal the emotional wounds underneath the silence.In this episode of the Coaching Your Family Relationships Podcast, I'm sharing why AI can't replace human connection—especially when it comes to healing parent-child relationships. You'll learn why emotional healing for parents requires more than advice or reassurance. It requires courage, self-awareness, and the kind of human support that helps you regulate your nervous system, see your own contribution to the dynamic, and find compassion for yourself and your adult child.We'll walk through the story of Julia, a mother navigating the heartbreak of emotional distance from her daughter. Through her story, you'll discover how to stop walking on eggshells and start understanding the bigger picture in your family. If you've ever said, “I feel rejected by my adult child,” this episode will speak directly to your heart—and give you tools to begin the healing process.In this episode, you'll learn:Why turning to AI can create a false sense of connectionHow estrangement from adult children is rarely about one eventThe importance of seeing your own role in family dynamics and communication breakdownsWhy your nervous system needs co-regulation from a real personHow to rebuild trust with an adult child without control or shameWhether you're dealing with emotional distance, complete cutoff, or just want to improve communication with your adult children, this conversation is for you.

Introduction: The Journey BeginsRaising a child with special needs is a journey filled with unique challenges—and profound rewards. In this conversation, we explore the realities of parenting an adult child on the autism spectrum, from early diagnosis to adulthood, sharing struggles, triumphs, and lessons learned.Our daughter was diagnosed at age three. Parenting didn't follow the typical script. As a single mom, balancing life with a child in a neurodivergent world required patience, strength, and adaptability.Educating ourselves on autism helped us move from confusion to advocacy. By honoring our daughter's unique abilities, we fostered an environment where she could thrive.Now a graduate of a renowned culinary institute, our daughter inspires us daily. But parenting an adult child with autism brings new challenges—society often expects conformity rather than celebrating diversity.Our journey involves helping her find confidence in her identity while navigating life's milestones in her own way. It's about letting go while supporting her individuality.Having friends and family who truly understand makes a world of difference. Even small acts of support can have a big impact.Faith has been our anchor. We've learned to steward our daughter's life rather than control it, trusting God's timing and plan. This trust has brought freedom and peace in the midst of challenges.To parents on a similar path: stay resilient, love steadfastly, and celebrate every small victory. Progress isn't always linear, but God guides every step.We hope our story inspires other families to approach their journey with hope, faith, and love.We'd love for you to be part of our Book Club on Sarta Lyons' Church Girl starting January 8th. It's a free space to get honest, aligned, and moving.Here's what you'll get:Spot blind spots driving your patternsBreak cycles keeping you stuckBuild real strength spiritually, mentally, and physicallyAlign faith, habits, and callingLead with clarity and courageNo perfection. No pretending. Just presence, purpose, and progress—together.

Send us a textEpisode 198 - Why Needing to Be Right and Staying in Control Are Hurting Your Relationship with Your Adult Child"Why won't my adult child talk to me?" If you've found yourself asking that question, you're not alone—and this episode is for you.I'm Tina Gosney, family conflict coach and family life educator. In this special rebroadcast, I'm bringing back two powerful episodes because the messages inside them are so important. They highlight two common, but losing strategies in family relationships: the need to be right and the need to stay in control.These patterns show up in nearly every strained parent-adult child relationship, especially in families experiencing emotional distance, conflict, or even estrangement. If you're searching for how to reconnect with an estranged adult child or wondering how to fix a broken relationship with your adult child, this is where you start.Most parents don't realize they're relying on these strategies—but they often show up as walking on eggshells, trying to get your child to understand your point of view, or needing them to see you in a certain way. These are protective strategies, but they push your child further away.In this episode, you'll learn:How the need to be right can damage trust and lead to long-term disconnectionWhy trying to control how your adult child behaves, thinks, or sees you often backfiresWhat's happening in your brain that keeps you repeating these ineffective patternsHow to stop the cycle and start building a healthier, more respectful relationshipIf you've been asking “why does my child hate me?” or feel like “my adult child is pulling away,” this episode will help you understand what's really going on underneath those feelings—and what you can do about it.This is about more than just improving communication. It's about emotional maturity in parent-adult child dynamics, and learning to respond with grace and strength—so you can create connection without control.Let's Connect: If you're tiredDownload the Free Guide: “The 3-Step Solution to Keeping Your Cool Around Family Holiday Drama” Holidays can stir up old patterns and emotions—this guide will help you stay grounded and respond with grace.Grab your copy here: DOWNLOAD THE GUIDE Ready to learn how to manage your emotional reactions?

The 7 Hidden Signs Your Adult Child Is Toxic ⚠️What happens when the person showing toxic behavior is your own adult child?

Does your life feel out of control? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, angry, and resentful, and no matter how hard you try to be nice, or kind, or considerate, you only end up feeling worse? Dear One, that is no accident, as you will learn in this incredible breakthrough episode podcast.  Before Lisa A. Romano was diagnosed with codependency, she lived her life prioritizing others' needs, unaware that her lack of self-awareness, her inability to put herself first, or even to have her needs recognized, was rooted in trauma and missing information. Once Lisa was diagnosed with codependency and learned from an intuitive therapist that she was the adult child of unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, and possibly even dry alcoholics, the wheels in her mind started to turn. From there, Lisa hit the books and the ground running, consuming every book and mentor she could to help her unwind her mind from self-loathing, hypervigilance, negative self-talk, insecurity, and deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. By adding new data into her data bank of self-understanding, through a ferocious and tenacious will, slowly Lisa's entire inner self-perception began to shift, and like a Rubik's cube, her life started reorganizing itself.  Lisa A. Romano is the first to tell you that healing is ugly, terrifying, and lonesome, and she will also ask that you accept the quest despite this, because it is the only way to break through the thick matrix caused by generational trauma. If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or if you were raised by toxic, narcissistic, wounded, immature, or codependent parents, or if you grew up in what seemed like a normal family but felt emotionally neglected, this podcast episode will resonate with you.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with alcoholic parents. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. You feel stuck, angry and like your life is out of control. Ache to understand yourself, and how your subconsicous mind controls your emotions, reactions, thinking, and your expectation all outside of conscious awareness.  ✨ Pro tip: Understanding how your childhood has impacted how you 'think' today, how you 'react', and what you expect to occur in your life is you activating metacognition. Childhood trauma resides at the subconscious. Lisa's methods help you breakthrough! Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, psychologist approaved, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization. Journaling prompts and assessments to increase self-awareness. Tools to stop subconscious self-abandonment and live authentically. How to integrate shadow work and break toxic generational patterns. Thousands have transformed their lives with this method—learning to step out of survival mode and into authentic, empowered living.

What do you do when you've poured your heart into being a better parent, and your adult child still keeps you at arm's length?In today's heartfelt (and heart-heavy) coaching conversation, we sit with Josie: a mother navigating the complex grief of feeling used, dismissed, and emotionally exiled by her daughter. Despite years of inner work and a deep desire to connect, Josie finds herself hurt and unsure: Should she take space? Should she block her daughter's messages? Is silence a form of self-care, or a veiled cry to be rescued?Together, we untangle the knot between boundaries and punishment, help her find clarity around her deeper intentions, and explore how unmet childhood needs can hijack our adult relationships. Whether you're a parent, a child, or both, this episode will speak to the ache of misalignment and the courage it takes to stay rooted in love while protecting your own heart.In this episode:•How to discern the difference between setting a boundary and delivering a covert ultimatum•Why “taking space” sometimes carries unspoken hopes for change, and how to separate them•The ache of being the family scapegoat, even after decades of healing•Navigating the painful realization: Nobody else sees me the way my children do.•A metaphor for overexposure to painful dynamics: The emotional sunburn•Why it's essential to tend to your inner child before asking others to meet your unmet needs•Sample scripts for taking space with clarity, not punishment•The real purpose of pausing contact: and how to do it with integrity If you're looking for a high caliber small group where you can deepen your practice and really live into the principles of compassion, non-violence and relational presence, apply for The Mentorship Circle, which will begin November 2nd.

Welcome to The Magicians season 1 episode 12! This week, on the heels of an aggressively awkward morning after. The group decides to bottle their emotions and head into the the Neitherlands. But shortly after emerging from the fountain Quentin is separated from the group and thrust back to campus alone. Can he find his way back to us? Can we find our way to Fillory? Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where you'll hear some of the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, "When An Adult Child is Struggling" was recorded during a thunderstorm. As the storm was raging outside in the background, I could imagine the storms raging in the hearts and minds of parents who are painfully navigating difficult events with their adult children. This episode is brief, and was not designed to cover every issue that could come up in the lives of adult children. It's a four-point list of things to consider if you are walking through a hard season with your adult child. Take some time after listening to this episode to pray for direction for your situation. Psalm 143:8 makes an excellent prayer pattern: "Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee."

This group is a safe place to process the grief, confusion, and isolation of being cast as the villain in a story you spent your life protecting them from.
