  • Ep 105: The Secret to Being a Team With Dad

    This Father's Day, let's talk about the elephant in the room - how differently you and your husband handle conflict with your grown children. If you've ever felt frustrated because dad seems to brush off drama that keeps you up at night, or wondered why he responds so differently to your daughter versus your son, this episode is for you.

    I'm sharing the real differences between how moms and dads navigate these tricky adult child relationships, plus the strategies that actually work for getting dad's support when you need it most. You'll discover why his "hands-off" approach isn't wrong (just different), how to ask for his help in ways he can actually hear, and practical ways to present a united front even when you disagree.

    Stop feeling like you're handling all the emotional heavy lifting alone. It's time to turn your marriage into the safe harbor you both need during these challenging seasons with your grown kids.

  • Ep 104: The Detective Mom: Why We Find Only What We Are Looking For (And How to Change It)

    Are you building a case against your grown child without even realizing it? In this eye-opening episode, we explore how our minds naturally look for evidence to support what we already believe—and how this can be destroying our relationships with our adult children.

    Using practical strategies and biblical wisdom from Philippians 4:8, you'll learn how to become a more balanced observer of your relationships. This isn't about ignoring problems—it's about seeing the love and connection that's already there.

    If you've been worried that your grown child doesn't care about you, this episode will help you discover the evidence you've been missing.
