If you're a mom struggling with estrangement from your adult child, it might feel like you've tried everything to fix the distance between you. But what if the answer isn't trying harder—it's letting go in a new way? In today’s episode, I’m sharing why continuing to "parent" your adult child could actually be creating more distance, and how shifting into a new role of support, respect, and emotional freedom could be the key to both your healing and theirs.

We'll talk about the powerful difference between parenting and supporting, how continuing to "help" can unintentionally fuel estrangement, and how letting go doesn't mean giving up—it means setting both your heart and theirs free. If you’re ready to stop living in fear, guilt, and heartbreak, and start reclaiming your peace and joy, I want to personally invite you to book a free discovery call with me. We'll walk through where you are right now and explore a path forward that brings hope and healing. You are not alone. You are stronger than you know, and your story isn't over. Faith over fear—always.
