In this episode, I sit down with Tammy J. Cohen — author of A Text Message Away — to talk about the power of connection through simple, consistent gestures. Tammy shares her personal journey of learning to lead with heart, empathy, and curiosity — even (especially) when the people you love put up walls.

We talk about how texting can become a surprisingly meaningful bridge to connection with our kids (or anyone), why we often wear masks instead of showing our true selves, and how to move from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

Tammy also opens up about her own struggles with judgment and control and how she learned to trust her kids as they grew into adults. This conversation is full of reminders that our children — no matter how old — long to feel loved, seen, and safe with us. And that connection doesn’t have to be perfect to matter — it just has to be steady.
