The empty nest phase doesn't mean the end of meaningful parent-child connections – it simply marks the beginning of a new kind of relationship. As summer vacations end and college drop-offs happen across America, many parents find themselves reminiscing about family trips and wondering how to maintain closeness with their now-adult children.Travel creates a unique opportunity to reconnect with adult children in ways that regular family gatherings often cannot. When we remove ourselves from daily distractions, responsibilities, and established home dynamics, we create space for authentic connection. Whether you're navigating an estranged relationship or simply want deeper conversations with your grown child who's busy with their own life, a shared journey offers neutral ground where new understanding can flourish.Success comes from thoughtful planning and approaching the experience differently than family vacations of the past. Understanding your adult child's travel personality (Are they adventure-seekers like my younger son or museum-lovers like my oldest?), involving them in destination decisions, setting clear financial expectations, and creating space for organic conversations are all crucial elements. Most importantly, treat them as the adults they've become – not as children who need constant oversight. Some of my most treasured moments with my sons happened unexpectedly, like a 1:30 AM heart-to-heart in an Irish castle after a false fire alarm. These shared experiences create lasting memories that strengthen your bond for years to come, and might even inspire your children to pursue their own love of travel – as my sons now do independently. Whether you're healing past wounds or simply creating new chapters together, travel offers the perfect setting to truly see and appreciate the adults your children have become.Ready to reconnect? Consider planning a trip with your adult child – it might become one of the most meaningful experiences of your relationship. The memories you create will last a lifetime, and the conversations you have might never have happened any other way.Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50Facebook community: Solo Travel for Women Over 50 https://www.facebook.com/groups/860865768609200

Older autistic adults have been called "The Lost Generation", because most were not given the opportunities for self-understanding and support that they desperately needed. Their children, who are now adults themselves, have been lost as well, largely left invisible and unsupported by clinicians and autism advocacy efforts alike. This presentation will foster visibility and understanding of the unique experiences and needs of this population, with insights and suggestions for clinicians, adult children of autistic parents, and their partners. Laurie Budlong-Morse is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, an AANE Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist, and an AAMFT-Approved Supervisor Candidate; she is also the adult child of an autistic mother. She facilitates a monthly online support group for fellow ACAPs (adult children of autistic parents) in addition to providing an array of other services for those in neurodiverse relationships and their clinicians.

Gemma Sherrington, CEO of Refuge, and coercive control expert Dr Gemma Katz join us to discuss the issues around a parent deciding whether to be honest with their grown-up children or continue to protect them from their reality. Jess wrote in to tell us about a poem she came across on social media about the post-partum period, calling it “absolutely beautiful”. She added: “There are hundreds of comments across Instagram and TikTok of mothers feeling exactly the same way. Please check it out, I would love to hear more from this poet.” We've tracked her down and her name is Amy Williams. She joins us to perform the poem live in the studio. Listener Sarah Hutchinson wants to know more about dreams. Specifically, why she has been having more vivid, memorable dreams during the recent heatwaves, and whether women's experience of dreaming is linked to the menstrual cycle? Sarah joins Nuala along with Caroline Horton, Professor of Sleep and Cognition and director of the DrEAMSLab at Bishop Grosseteste University.

In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, host Kreed Revere reflects on the journey of estrangement, exploring the complexities of parent-child relationships and the impact of trauma. The conversation delves into a harmful question posed by an estranged parent to their estranged adult child, examining the underlying issues of shame and misunderstanding. Kreed emphasizes the importance of recognizing trauma's effects, the need for genuine curiosity in healing, and the significance of leading with love and validation in relationships.TakeawaysUnderstanding trauma requires recognizing that it does not follow legal timelines.Children often stay in harmful relationships due to biological wiring for connection.Abuse in families can be intermittent and mixed with genuine love.Cognitive dissonance can prevent parents from acknowledging their role in estrangement.Healing the relationship requires a shift from defensiveness to genuine curiosity about the child's experience.⁠www.TheEstrangedHeart.com⁠Email: ⁠hello@TheEstrangedHeart.com⁠Work with Kreed: ⁠https://theestrangedheart.com/services⁠(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: ⁠https://theestrangedheart.com/membership⁠Facebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroup⁠To support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere⁠

So many of us feel blindsided when it comes to the relationships with our adult children. We heard a lot about the struggles of being a parent to babies, toddlers, tots, pre-teens, and teenagers, but not a lot about our role and relationship with adult children. The reason it can be so challenging is because so many of us struggle to let go of our parenting role and we can often feel that their decisions (which we can often judge as poor) reflect badly on our parenting. In this podcast I'm speaking with Coach Brooke Oniki about how we can show up better in the relationships with our adult children. You can find Brooke at www.brookeoniki.com Here's her Women's Conference talk: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/byu-womens-conference-may-2025-keeping-a-strong/id1819510541?i=1000712108423 Brooke's podcast: Midlife with Brooke Thanks for listening!
