Letting Go: Why Power Must Shift in Adult Families (How to Not Torpedo The Relationship as it Does)
Episode 1 - In families, power isn’t static.
It shifts—slowly, subtly, and sometimes painfully. What does healthy power look like and how can we shift the narrative to keep our family’s journey growing in a positive, loving way?
Welcome to Episode 1 From Sozo Wellness Institute's Series Power Guilt and Holiday Dinners. In this episode we will explore:
The Power Shift—a deep dive into how authority, decision-making, and emotional influence evolve between parents and their adult offspring over the course of a lifetime.
We explore the natural transition from Parent Over Child → Mutuality → Offspring Over Parent—and what happens when that shift gets stuck, skipped, or resisted on either side.
In this episode, we explore:
What a healthy power transition looks like in grown-up families
When the shift may happen—and how to notice when it’s overdue
Why “adult child” is such a clumsy phrase—and how language affects relationship dynamics
How to lean into change with grace, humility, and wisdom
What to do when the shift creates friction, fear, or guilt on either side
-The truth? Every parent and adult offspring will face a power shift. It can be a source of conflict… or a path to deeper connection.
It’s important how you move through it—and how well you let each other grow.
Because real love makes room for mutual respect, changing roles, and the emergence of two whole people.
