In this episode of Filter Optional, Chico and Shannon West unpack the difference between inheritance and legacy — and why what you model as a parent matters more than what you leave behind.

If you're parenting adult children, navigating empty-nest life, or trying to break generational patterns, this conversation explores emotional health, faith-based parenting, boundaries, and letting go of control. Legacy isn’t about money or possessions — it’s about the impact your character, vulnerability, and growth have on your family.

Key Points:

• The difference between inheritance and legacy
• Parenting adult children without control or guilt
• How to stop “should-ing” on your kids
• Modeling vulnerability and emotional health
• Navigating boundaries and no-contact situations
• Building a legacy of faith, trust, and accountability

Takeaway:

You may not control your children’s choices — but you can control the legacy you leave. It’s never too late to shift from control to connection.
