Podcasts about adult children

When people talk about gray divorce, the conversation usually focuses on the couple: finances, retirement, and starting over later in life. But there is another group deeply affected by these late in life separations that often goes overlooked: adult children. The divorce rate for couples over 50 has more than doubled in recent decades, and as more long term marriages end later in life, families are navigating a transition many never expected. Even when children are fully grown, the divorce of their parents can reshape family dynamics, create loyalty conflicts, and disrupt long standing family roles. In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Carol Hughes, co author of the groundbreaking book Home Will Never Be the Same Again. Carol first joined the podcast in 2021 with co author Bruce Fredenburg to discuss their research on adult children of gray divorce. She returns to share updated insights from both research and real world experiences about how adult children are affected when their parents divorce later in life. Together, Susan and Carol explore why gray divorce can be more emotionally disruptive for adult children than many parents realize, the common mistakes parents unintentionally make during this transition, and the powerful ways families can protect relationships even as the family structure changes. This is an essential conversation for anyone navigating divorce after 50, adult children trying to understand their parents' separation, or professionals working with families where gray divorce is reshaping the entire family system. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why gray divorce affects the entire family, not just the couple • How loyalty conflicts can place adult children in painful and inappropriate roles • Why feeling unheard is one of the leading causes of estrangement between parents and adult children after divorce • How empathy, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful communication can help protect family relationships Additional Resources If you want to explore this topic further, be sure to read the companion blog article for this episode on the Divorce & Beyond website. You can also download Susan's practical guide: How to Tell Your Adult Children You Are Getting Divorced: A Conversation Planning Guide This supportive resource helps parents prepare for one of the most difficult conversations families face during gray divorce, with insights on what adult children often experience, what to say, what to avoid, and how to approach the conversation with empathy and care.

In this episode of Everyone Dies, we explore the rising "epidemic" of family estrangement. We begin with a high-profile case study: Brooklyn Beckham's recent public declaration of "no contact" with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Using this as a jumping-off point, we examine the modern language of therapeutic boundaries and why more adult children are choosing to walk away. https://bit.ly/3P6DlUQIn this episode, we discuss:(02:09) The Reality of Rupture: A first-person account of a parent "shrinking" themselves and walking on eggshells for years before the final break.(10:08) Defining Ambiguous Loss: Understanding the psychological trauma of an ongoing loss that has no funeral and no clear closure.(17:37) Supporting the Estranged: Practical guidance for friends and family on what to say—and what not to say—to a parent living through this silence.(26:18) The Path Forward: Learn the importance of space, respecting boundaries, and the mindset required for potential long-term reconciliation.Whether you are a parent navigating the pain of a "no contact" request or a friend looking for the right way to offer support, this episode provides a compassionate, editorial look at one of the most difficult relational challenges of our time.Featured Resources:S6E45: When Closure Isn't Possible: How to Find a Way Forward Through Grief - Learn More about Ambiguous LossIf You Know an Estranged Parent, Please Read This by Rachel Haack (Thank you Rachel for letting us feature your work in this podcast)#AmbiguousLoss #FamilyEstrangement #GriefWithoutDeath #NoContact #EstrangedParents #EveryoneDiesPodcast #UnspokenGrief #ComplexGrief #MentalHealthAwarenessSupport the showGet show notes, images and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Most families wait until a fall, stroke, or sudden diagnosis forces a scramble. We open up about how adult children can help parents plan early, keep control where it belongs, and avoid the most expensive and stressful mistakes—from lost capacity to long-term care surprises.We start with the heart of the matter: capacity. Once a parent can't sign, choices narrow and families face court, delays, and mounting costs. We lay out conversation starters that honor dignity and independence, then translate them into action with the documents that matter: durable financial power of attorney, health care power of attorney, HIPAA authorization, wills, and targeted trusts. You'll hear why a POA is not a loss of control but an expansion of it, and how springing language can wait until a doctor certifies the need.Then we tackle the iceberg: long-term care costs. We explain five-year lookback rules, why blind gifting backfires, and how Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts and careful titling can legally protect a home and savings. Pre-planning widens options and can save far more than crisis “spend-downs,” but we also share how skilled crisis planning can still salvage value when time is short. Along the way, we cover beneficiary designations, deed strategies, and even the rise of digital wills in North Carolina with secure, encrypted storage.Family dynamics can make or break the outcome. We stress that the parent is the client, not the child, and share the pitfalls to avoid: talking over mom or dad, forcing decisions, or sidelining siblings. To keep peace and prevent litigation, we outline five steps you can take this week: schedule a family meeting, gather account details, confirm existing documents and access, consult an elder law attorney, and revisit the plan every three to five years.If you want less chaos and more clarity, this conversation gives you scripts, tools, and a clear path to protect care choices, assets, and relationships. Subscribe, share this with your siblings, and leave a review telling us the first step you'll take today.

A large number of adult children don't have contact with a parent on purpose. Our feelings centered society is having an effect on our families.

Introduction“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” — Irina Dunn, 1970I heard about the movement of decentering men on TikTok. With zero expectations, I decided to try it out for a month. It was October 2025. I was sick of dating apps and about to publish my second book. I'd been single for three years, but this was something different. I'm here to tell you everything about it and share all the reasons why I'm never going back.I wrote this article to give us, women, a blueprint for how to be the main character in our own lives. Our mothers and grandmothers couldn't teach us this; they depended on men (financially) to survive, and had to center them accordingly. This article is not about hating men; it's about unlearning the ways that the patriarchy has trained us to prioritize making men happy. This pressure comes just as much from the women in our lives (aunties, influencers, our mother), as from men. After all, it was my mother who let my brother get away with never doing the dishes after dinner.Starting this process for the first time scared me. I was worried that if I stopped trying to date men, I was giving up on my dream of becoming a mother. Yet as I began to decenter men, I realized that my idea of motherhood was purely a fantasy. Facing the reality of motherhood, those statistics scared me much more. In this article, I will cover everything I've learned from the internet, economists, and my own experience, so that you can decide whether decentering men and trying it for a month to start is right for you. Let's begin!

Nowadays it seems it's far more common for young people to stay at home long past the age of 18. This could be due to the cost of living, the cost of tuition, or lack of job opportunities.

I recorded this on February 8, 2026, and I could feel how loud life has been lately. Instead of showing up with a tidy bow and a perfect lesson, I let this be a real conversation between me and you. A place to breathe, to soften, and to tell the truth about what it feels like when your inner world is rearranging itself.Because today we are talking about falling apart, and why it might be the most honest thing your soul has ever done.I'm introducing you to a concept I just found this week and immediately knew I needed to bring to you: positive disintegration. The kind of breakdown that isn't a failure, but a signal. A sign that the strategies you used to survive, the roles you learned to play, and the fantasies you clung to are no longer able to hold back what you already know in your bones. In other words, it's not that you are breaking. It's that your denial is breaking. And something truer is trying to come through.We talk about why our culture fears endings, grief, and death, and how that fear shows up psychologically when we're in the crucible of change, especially when you're considering divorce. I connect this to the life-death-life cycle, to the way nature does this without apologizing, and to the brutal tenderness of becoming. If you've been feeling heavy, depressed, anxious, or stuck, I want you to hear this clearly: those feelings do not automatically mean you're doing it wrong. Sometimes they mean you're finally doing it right.I also share one of my favorite images for this process: the butterfly becoming the goo. That disorienting, humiliating, sacred middle. The place where you cannot go back to who you were, but you cannot yet see who you're becoming. If you're there right now, you are not behind. You are not broken. You are in the chrysalis.And I bring in two powerful texts that help us name what we're living: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and Women Who Run with the Wolves. We talk about Skeleton Woman, Lady Death, and what it means to stop throwing the parts of ourselves we fear off the cliff. We talk about building a foundation that can hold you through the unraveling, not by rushing to fix the feelings, but by staying with yourself inside them.If you're in that tender, terrifying season where everything you built your life on feels shaky, this episode is for you. It's a reminder that the breakdown might not be the end of your story. It might be the beginning of your true self returning.

The sermon centers on the biblical principle of respecting the autonomy and authority of adult children, drawing from Genesis 2:15 to illustrate that parenting evolves from direct control to supportive guidance, much like a steward caring for a garden. It emphasizes that conflicts in family relationships stem not from the children's actions but from pride and a failure to recognize the threshold of responsibility—where one enters another's domain without rightful authority. The preacher uses personal anecdotes and metaphors, such as the physical threshold of a home, to illustrate how grandparents and parents must refrain from overstepping boundaries, offering wisdom only when invited, and honoring adult children as peers and leaders in their own lives. Rooted in Ephesians 6:1, Colossians 3:20, and Titus 2, the message calls for humility, self-awareness, and a posture of service rather than dominance, urging older generations to foster godly relationships through respect, discretion, and grace, while acknowledging that true influence comes not from control but from being trusted and invited in.

"Why is it that the people we love the most are often the hardest to talk to?"In Chinese culture, "family" is the ultimate anchor, but for many adult children, it can also be a source of silent struggle. In this episode of Da Shu Mandarin, Can, Ben, and Richard peel back the layers of their own lives to discuss the "Invisible Wall" that exists between generations.

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.This year's theme is Acceptance as a Path to Peace, and in this episode I return to a topic that quietly keeps so many of us stuck: blame.Blame can feel justified when life has been painful. When relationships are complicated. When we've felt hurt, abandoned, or misunderstood. But over time, blame keeps our attention focused outward, tying our sense of peace to other people's choices and behavior.In this episode, I share honestly from my own life, my marriage, my recovery journey, and what I've witnessed walking alongside hundreds of people on their healing path. For me, blame often showed up as “trying to help,” “pointing things out,” or wishing someone else would change and how spiritual practice helped me see what was really happening underneath.We explore how releasing blame doesn't mean minimizing your pain or pretending things didn't matter. It means becoming willing to be honest with yourself, to turn inward, and to stop giving your power away.When we choose responsibility ovRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

This is the final episode of our Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series — and it's about integration. Healing doesn't mean you're never triggered. It doesn't mean your parents suddenly change. And it doesn't mean the past disappears. Integration is about learning how to respond differently, trust yourself more, and stop abandoning your needs — even when old patterns show up. In this episode, we focus on what it actually looks like to move forward after awareness. In this episode, you'll hear: What integration really means in healing work Why awareness alone isn't enough Signs you're healing even if it doesn't feel like it How grief, compassion, and boundaries can coexist Letting go of emotional closure that may never come What self-trust looks like after emotional immaturity How to practice healing without pressure or perfection This episode is not about doing more — it's about being with yourself differently. If you've been asking, "Okay… now what?" — this episode is for you. Reflection Questions: Where am I responding differently than I used to? What patterns am I interrupting now? What does emotional safety look like for me today? Healing is not about erasing the past. It's about no longer letting it run your present. Small shifts create big change.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person's mood can affect your own.In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn't a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It's about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don't have to carry them.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.Healing doesn't mean the people in our lives will never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.You are allowed to be okay even wRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Tuvia Blau and Hindy Herman address one of the most painful and least talked-about struggles in our community: parental alienation and family estrangement. They unpack what estrangement actually looks like, how it develops, and why the emotional toll on parents and adult children alike can feel unbearable.   With honesty and compassion, Tuvia and Hindy explore both sides of the story, parents and children, touching on boundaries, shame, communication breakdowns, and the tools needed for healing. This conversation isn't about blame. It's about understanding, growth, and the possibility of rebuilding connection, even when it feels impossible.

The idea of reparenting yourself can feel overwhelming — especially if you grew up having to take care of yourself emotionally at a young age. In Episode 5 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we break down what reparenting actually means, what it does not mean, and why this work is meant to be gentle — not perfect. Reparenting isn't about fixing your parents, erasing the past, or doing everything on your own. It's about learning how to offer yourself the emotional safety, validation, and attunement that may not have been consistently available growing up. In this episode, we explore: What reparenting yourself really is Common misconceptions that make this concept feel intimidating Why receiving care — even from yourself — can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable How self-abandonment shows up when care once came with conditions What reparenting looks like in everyday, real-life moments This episode isn't about doing more or getting it right. It's about beginning to relate to yourself with compassion and curiosity.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel You Can Be Happy Even When Others Aren't: Acceptance as a Path to Healing from CodependencyOne of the most painful beliefs many of us carry is that we can only be okay when the people around us are okay.This belief sits at the core of codependency, people-pleasing, control, and self-abandonment. It keeps us exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from our own lives as we try to manage, fix, or emotionally carry the experiences of others.In this episode, I introduce the theme for 2026 on the Recover Your Soul Podcast: Acceptance as a Path to Peace. We explore what acceptance really means from a spiritual perspective and what it does not mean. Acceptance is not giving up, denying reality, or tolerating what harms us. It is learning to see what is clearly, without resistance, so we can stop abandoning ourselves and begin healing.This episode invites you to consider a new possibility:That your happiness does not require anyone else to change or heal.In this episode, we explore:How codependency teaches us to tie our well-being to othersWhy accRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

When you are an adult child of emotional neglect, or were raised in an alcoholic, narcissistic, or unpredictable home, you are not aware of how your brain wires the nervous system to be locked in survival mode. Daughters and sons of toxic parents learned to survive through hypervigilance, scanning the faces, moods, and body movements of those around them. This type of scanning, codes the brain for survival and fear anticipation.  The problem is, adult children from abusive, neglectful or toxic homes do not know this has occurred. From within the ego system, the little self assumes that what it feels, anticipates and experiences is all there is. This is why so many well meaning, and fully committed adult children who seek inner growth, personal development and healing, are baffled by why they feel so stuck.  Being prepared saves your brain energy, but when you are emotionally wounded in childhood, you do not know how your brain keeps you stuck in survival, and unable to escape, thereby locking you into loops of self sabotaging behaviors regardless of how often you hear your conscious mind screaming for something new and improved.    You'll learn: • Why trauma trains the brain to predict danger (and pick the same partners/jobs) • How insecure attachment, fawning & people-pleasing sabotage manifestation • The role of the default mode network, metacognition & observer consciousness • Practical tools to down-regulate, update your "inner algorithm," and choose new codes • How to trust divine intuition without bypassing the science Next step Start healing your inner child today with Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program.

This Week on Dopey! Dave kicks off the Friday episode by celebrating Dopey OG Leah Lumberg's 17 years of sobriety, sharing heartfelt Spotify listener comments (with spirited debates over Breaking Bad characters and more love for the recent Cosmo Lumbino interview), and playing a raw voicemail from Lane opening up about self-medicating with crushed stimulants, kratom, and weed amid depression and a breakup—reminding everyone Dopey welcomes voices from all sides of the struggle. The heart of the show is a deep, hilarious, and profoundly honest conversation with returning guest Hank Azaria, who gets real about his teenage battles with anorexia and bulimia, maintaining his impressive physique through disciplined fitness and calorie tracking, finding primary recovery in Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) work (including a full breakdown of the ACA "laundry list" traits), his enduring love for voicing Moe on The Simpsons, the looming AI threat to voice actors, his Bruce Springsteen tribute band (complete with Bruce's personal thumbs-up), and a thoughtful take on cultural extremism as the real enemy. Packed with lightning-round fun, Mets passion, and classic Dopey vulnerability. All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old dopey show!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
