Feel like your kids are growing distant — and you're not sure how to reach them anymore? In this episode, Jodi chats with Tammy Cohen, author of Text Messages to My Sons, about how a simple daily practice of texting transformed her relationships with her adult children.

Whether you’re navigating empty nest grief, disconnection, or just want to feel closer to the people who matter most, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you use your phone — and how you define connection.


IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why sending “just because” texts (with no expectation) can deepen emotional bonds
  • How to use mobile devices to connect meaningfully — not just logistically
  • The ripple effect of consistent connection and gratitude
  • Why it’s never too late to start building (or rebuilding) relationships with your kids
  • How Tammy’s journey through personal growth and cancer shaped her parenting and purpose
