Podcasts about adult children

As parents, it's natural to want to help your children—especially when they're facing financial challenges. But when that support becomes open-ended, it can create serious risks for your retirement, your emergency fund, your credit, and even your family relationships.In this episode of Dollars and Sense, Joel and Zach discuss five ways helping adult children can unintentionally hurt your retirement plan. They cover how financial support can affect family dynamics, create sibling tension, reduce retirement contributions, drain emergency savings, and increase debt or credit risk.The goal isn't to stop helping your kids. It's to help wisely—with structure, boundaries, and a clear understanding of how today's generosity could impact tomorrow's financial security.If you're a parent, pre-retiree, or retiree trying to balance generosity with long-term financial stability, this conversation is for you.Thinking about moving to a 55+ community? Before you make the leap, there are a few important questions to ask yourself—because this decision is about much more than buying a new home.Joel and Zach discuss the lifestyle, financial, emotional, and long-term planning considerations that come with moving into a 55+ community. From downsizing and HOA fees to social activities, aging in place, and making sure you and your partner are on the same page, this conversation is designed to help you think clearly before making a major life transition.A 55+ community can offer convenience, connection, and a fresh start—but it may also require trade-offs. The key is knowing whether the community fits your finances, personality, lifestyle, and future needs.In this episode, we cover:Whether you're truly ready for a lifestyle changeThe emotional and practical side of downsizingGiving up yardwork, gardening, and home maintenanceUnderstanding HOA fees and service-based costsSocial opportunities and privacy considerationsMaking sure you and your partner are alignedPlanning for aging in place and long-term comfortIf you're retired, nearing retirement, or helping a loved one consider their next move, this episode will give you helpful questions to consider before choosing a 55+ community.

Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not. A true Godsend.  - Melinda Wyman . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son  Having a coach and mentor who is rooted in Christ is very important. I've experienced so much inner healing with Jenny as my Coach. I am living a truly happy life, and I reconciled with my son! I feel empowered to continue stepping into my full power as a mother and to live a life where my children matter, but they don't determine my worth. I am me again. - Carol Adams

In this Whitehall Sources special, Calum Macdonald, Jo Tanner and James Nation are joined by Adam Dunlop (CEO of Carents) and Dr. Jackie Gray (Carents Founder) to pull back the curtain on the UK's adult carer crisis. They dive deep into the economic, emotional, and structural battles facing 4 million adult children in the UK today. Over 70% of carents are forced to leave the workforce or downplay their responsibilities due to societal stigma and broken local systems. We look at why Whitehall continues to fight over cash while ignoring the integrations that could save the UK economy billions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Personal note before you listen: To be honest, I sat on this episode for weeks. I almost didn't share it - mainly because it felt too honest, too personal, too vulnerable. And I think there was a part of me that felt guilty. Despite the hesitation, here it is…In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis, I explore what it means to be an adult child of emotionally immature parents and how tarot can help us understand the roles, defenses, wounds, and longings that form in emotionally unpredictable homes.This conversation was inspired by my recent re-read of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson, as well as my own lived experience. I talk about the painful developmental moment when we realize our parents are not all-knowing, all-capable figures, but full, flawed, historically shaped human beings. When moving through the deck, I realized this experience mimicked The Hierophant (reversed) - that unsettling, yet necessary unseating of a caregiver from the archetypal throne of perceived perfection and safety.From there, I explore how tarot became a safe, symbolic language for me and a tool that helped me piece together fragments of my upbringing, access unconscious material, and create a more coherent personal narrative…without overwhelming my nervous system in the process.I explore what feels like all the cards in this episode:The MoonThe Hanged ManThe Devil The StarThe Five of CupsThe Nine of Cups The Seven of Wands The Eight of PentaclesI also spend time with the court cards as family roles and survival strategies. The Kings and Queens become emotionally immature parent archetypes: the rigid parent, the volatile parent, the misattuned sensitive parent, and the practical caregiver who confuses provision with emotional connection. The Knights and Pages become the children shaped by those dynamics: the fixer, the family therapist, the old soul, the strategist, the overachiever, the silenced creative child, the emotional caretaker, and the overanalyzer.Ultimately, this episode is about how tarot can help us see the patterns we inherited without making those patterns the end of our story. If you felt love was conditional, your emotional needs were too much, or that safety depended on managing everyone else's moods and feelings, this episode offers a gentle but honest reflection on what you endured and what you are still allowed to become.Want more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

When therapists say adult children are cutting off their parents for “normal parenting mistakes,” they're almost never specific about what that means. Whitney asked 300+ people to define a normal parenting mistake and the responses said it all. The episode explores what happens when there's no repair, no accountability, and no willingness to engage with a parenting misstep, unintentional or not, that genuinely hurt.

In this episode, my client Leonor shares how she quadrupled her daily steps and built a consistent lifting routine using a focused, short-term challenge. By moving away from an all-or-nothing approach and staying committed through a demanding season of work travel, she broke through a long-term slump.As a busy human resources executive navigating perimenopause and an intense travel schedule, finding time for fitness was a major challenge. Leonor explains how she stopped avoiding the scale, started tracking her protein, and began banking her steps before 10 a.m. to gain more control over unpredictable days.We talk about:* Bank steps early by hitting 7,500 steps before 10 a.m. to create a buffer against travel disruptions.* Track daily numbers to build honest self-awareness through food logging, scale weight, and protein intake.* Use short-term targets to stay engaged and committed when long-term goals feel overwhelming.* Prioritize protein by making simple changes, such as adding protein powder to morning coffee.* Focus on small daily wins, including 15 to 30 minutes of lifting, to build strength and support activities like pickleball.CloseIf this hits where you are, take the next clear step.DM me if this resonates or book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:

What does it actually mean to raise an emotionally mature child? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Alison Cook sits down with renowned psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson, whose groundbreaking book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" helped millions name what they didn't receive growing up. Now, Dr. Gibson turns toward a new question: How do we become the kind of parents who help our children feel safe, seen, respected, and emotionally strong? Together, they explore the emotional foundation children truly need—not perfection, but presence. They unpack what emotional maturity looks like, the impact of being raised by an emotionally immature parent, and how we can begin to give our own children the kind of parenting they need. You'll explore: The signs of an emotionally immature parent What a “good enough” parent actually looks like How repair builds trust more than perfection does The dance of balancing connection and autonomy  How to create emotional safety for your child Whether you're parenting toddlers, teenagers, or adult children—or simply learning how to become more emotionally mature yourself—this conversation offers a hopeful, grounded framework for growth.

In this episode of the Legacy Dads Podcast, hosts Dave and Dante sit down with Dr. Kathy Koch, founder of Celebrate Kids, to discuss the often-overlooked challenges of parenting adult children. Centered around her book, Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children, the conversation addresses the "identity crisis" many fathers face when their role shifts from protector and fixer to a more hands-off, supportive influence. Dr. Koch offers practical, biblical strategies for releasing control, overcoming "dad guilt" from past mistakes, and navigating the tension between loving a child and endorsing their lifestyle choices. Ultimately, the episode serves as a powerful guide for fathers to surrender their children to God's timing while maintaining a faithful, grace-filled presence that prioritizes reconciliation over being right.

For many parents, the transition into adulthood can bring unexpected grief, tension, distance, and questions they never anticipated facing. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Dr. Kathy Koch talks about relationships with adult children — from boundaries and communication to parenting regrets, family conflict, faith struggles, and learning how to love well in a new season of life. Drawing from her book, Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children: Strategies and Conversations that Work, Dr. Kathy offers practical wisdom and deep encouragement for parents who want healthier relationships without controlling outcomes.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Kathy shares why it's important to move from “parenting” to guiding and supporting, how humility and listening can rebuild trust, and why hope ultimately has to be rooted in God rather than our children's choices. Whether your relationship with your adult child is thriving, strained, or somewhere in between, this episode is full of grace, perspective, and reminders that God is still present in the middle of complicated family dynamics.For more information on Kathy Koch's latest book: https://www.amazon.com/Resolve-Conflict-Peace-Adult-Children/dp/0802440754

In today's conversation, we dive into the topic of intergenerational trauma with Mark Wolynn, the author of It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle. Mark is a leading expert in inherited family trauma and the director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco, where he trains clinicians and works with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, panic disorders, obsessive thoughts, self-injury, chronic pain, and illness. Mark regularly leads workshops and trainings at hospitals, clinics, conferences, and educational centers across the globe. He has presented at institutions including the University of Pittsburgh, Western Psychiatric Institute, Kripalu, Omega Institute, New York Open Center, and the California Institute of Integral Studies. This discussion outlines: What inherited family trauma really is. The connection between epigenetics and trauma transmission across generations. How trauma work can help identify and heal deeply rooted emotional patterns. What "unconscious loyalty" means, and why we often repeat painful family dynamics without realizing it. Practical ways to begin breaking generational cycles and creating emotional resilience. Even patterns that feel intensely personal may have roots that extend far beyond your own experiences. This conversation explores how inherited emotional wounds can quietly shape relationships, behaviors, fears, and identity — often without us realizing it… Learn more about Mark: Mark Wolynn Official Website Buy It Didn't Start with You on Amazon

Parenting often feels like a high-stakes guessing game played in the middle of a meltdown or a deafening teenage silence.Clinical psychologist and bestselling author Lindsay C. Gibson returns to Psychologist Off the Clock to discuss her new book, "How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child," and the core mindsets that build emotional maturity across development.

Listen for a relational, autonomy-supportive approach that can improve parenting and adult relationships alike. Listen and Learn:How the toddler-like self-centeredness of emotionally immature parents forces their adult children to constantly manage everyone else's happiness at the absolute cost of their own identity and peaceWhy breaking the cycle of childhood trauma doesn't require being a perfect parent, but rather practicing self-awareness and honoring your child's deeply sensitiveWhy parenting is a relational enterprise rather than a production line, where meaningful connection isn't measured by long-winded conversations, but by showing genuine curiosity and active engagement Shifting from "carpentry-style" parenting that forces a narrow path to "gardening-style" parenting that nourishes the child's true, unique self Why true parenting connection doesn't require you to perfectly understand your child at all times, but rather to create a safe, curious environment where they feel inherently understandable Resources:How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child by Lindsay Gibson https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593735367 Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Children by Lindsay Gibson https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781626251700Lidnsey's Website: https://www.lindsaycgibson.com/How to Avoid Estrangement (a Q&A with Lindsay for Yael's newsletter)Stories that Connect (about sharing books, Yael's newsletter post inspired by Lindsay Gibson)Video from Ed Tronick's research on the “still face experiment”Range by David Epstein https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780735214507 About Lindsay GibsonLindsay Gibson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist specializing in emotional maturity and its ripple effects across the lifespan.

Text me a question I might answer through the showRecent studies indicate that about one in four Americans experience some form of family estrangement.  This statistic is alarming, as many individuals report feeling deeply troubled by this estrangement. A significant portion of these estrangements occur between parents and their adult children, emphasizing the need for understanding and addressing familial relationships.  In this podcast and video, expert guest Dr. Tamsen Thorpe and I explore the causes, implications and solutions for family estrangement, drawing on insights from experts in psychology and family dynamics.What is Family Estrangement?Family estrangement refers to a cutoff in communication or contact between family members. It ranges from complete no contact to limited interactions, such as only connecting through social media. It is not always a straightforward situation; some families might maintain superficial ties while feeling emotionally distant. Understanding these nuances is crucial for addressing the underlying issues that contribute to estrangement.Support the showThis show was created with love on my volunteer time.   One small gift you can give me back is to take the time to leave the show a comment and rating on iTunes.  You can also support the production costs of the show by buying me a $3 coffee at buymeacoffee.com/dralexandra.  I will be encouraged by your support, and thank you!

In this episode, Allie explores the exploding social media trend of going "no contact" with family members, where Gen Z and Millennials are cutting off parents and siblings at record rates in the name of mental health, boundaries, and self-protection. From TikTok testimonials and celebrity examples to the influence of therapy culture and books like "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents," Allie examines how social media, broadened definitions of trauma, and the rise of "chosen family" have normalized family estrangement. She contrasts this with a biblical view that calls Christians to honor parents, pursue reconciliation where possible, practice forgiveness, and recognize the unique value of biological family — even when imperfect. Allie discusses when no contact may be warranted versus when it is driven by selfishness, echo chambers, and a cultural idolization of personal comfort over commitment.
