  • Maybe you've recently read these headlines in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal.

    "Well Into Adulthood and Still Getting Money From Their Parents. Nearly 60% of parents provide financial help to their adult kids, a new study finds." WSJ"Parents Are Highly Involved in Their Adult Children’s Lives, and Fine With ItNew surveys show that today’s intensive parenting has benefits, not just risks, and most young adults seem happy with it, too." (NYT)What you didn't know is that these articles just covered a small bit of the extensive 2024 Pew Research study titled Parents, Young Adult Children and the Transition to Adulthood. The Pew Research Center is a non-partisan "fact tank" that helps inform the public about issues, attitudes and trends shaping our world.

    Today, we go behind the scenes to chat with one of the lead researchers on the study, Rachel Minkin and uncover what those big headlines really mean.

    We sort through the data helping listeners understand the stats and what the study really explores.

    Tune in to learn more about key milestones for young adults today vs. 30 years ago, financial help and independence in young adulthood, how parents really think their kids are doing, relationships, advice and even living together (you will be surprised that it works for many families.

  • Do you have a favorite child? Maybe you think you don't but there are things you do or say that show something different.

    Today we delve into the much overlooked topic of sibling relationships. We speak with Fern Schumer Chapman author o the book Brothers, Sisters, Strangers. Siblings are the longest relationship we will have in our lives - and our children's. They share our history our family and our story. Chapman shares her personal life story that led her to write this book.

    We talk about sibling rejection and how that can lead to feelings of self-blame, questioning one's worth, and a sense of loss. Individuals may constantly ruminate on what went wrong and how they can mend the relationship, leading to a significant emotional toll. This ongoing emotional pain can be likened to a persistent toothache or a wound that refuses to heal.

    Chapman shares risk factors that may cause sibling rifts and what our role as parents we play. By acknowledging these risk factors and perilous turning points, research provides valuable insights into the complexities of sibling relationships. Understanding these factors can help individuals navigate and potentially reconcile with estranged siblings.

    We also identify when it is safer for siblings to separate and why.

    There is no question that sibling relationships serve as a blueprint for future relationships with friends, colleagues, and romantic partners. The qualities of tolerance, generosity, and loyalty instilled by siblings can influence how individuals navigate social interactions throughout their lives. This episode helps us understand it all.

  • For today's episode we brought back Tony and Alisa DiLorenzo to discuss their new book "The Secret to Breaking the Conflict Cycle in Your Marriage," and to share their wisdom on maintaining strong connections in all our relationships - and that means with our adult kids too!

    We talk about the need to actively engage in conflict resolution rather than avoiding or ignoring issues. (which most of us do!)

    By being intentional, individuals can identify the root causes of conflicts, understand their own triggers and reactions, and work towards constructive solutions.

    Intentionality involves setting clear goals for improving communication, understanding, and connection within relationships. It requires a commitment to addressing issues head-on and seeking resolution rather than letting conflicts fester.
    Some of the key points include:

    Being intentional and taking actionWords have powerKnowing yourself; addressing your own weaknesses Understand your conflict cycle

    This one's all about strengthening relationships with your spouse and your adult child. Tune in for some valuable insights and tips! #RelationshipsMatter

    Remember, it's never too late to work on your relationship and create a positive impact on your family and future generations.

  • Today we speak with the legendary Charles Fay, Ph.D. who, with his father Jim Fay and Dr. Foster W. Cline founded Love and Logic. For many years parents have turned to Love and Logic for guidance for their young children. It is a trusted research-driven, whole child approach to child-rearing.

    And now - guess what? Dr. Fay is talking about how Love and Logic works for building healthy relationships with our young adult children!

    We talk about their new book coming out in March 2024 that includes a chapter on young Adults. The book is titled, “Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to Combine the Power of Neuroscience with Love and Logic and Grow Confident, Kind, Responsible, and Resilient Children and Young Adults”, written by neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Charles Fay.

    Dr. Fay explains:

    How the successful techniques used with our toddlers and teens can now apply to our adult children. He outlines the five Steps of Empathy and how this helps free young adults to make their decisions -- but also live with the consequences. How giving up our own control puts the power into our adult children’s hands What is the risk of setting them free? How can we set our own boundaries when needed and why it is important? By removing the chaos we create deposits into a healthier parent-adult relationship.

    Two important takeaways:

    “We can never consistently work harder on someone else’s life than they are”“The more words I use, the more ineffective I become”.

  • In today’s episode Denise and Kirsten chat with renowned matchmaker Rachel Greenwald. Do you ever worry your adult child will never find a partner? Do they spend too much time with their career rather than love? Do you feel like they are always picking the wrong person? Today we discuss whether parents should meddle in their adult child's dating life. Greenwald offers insights about if, when, and how to navigate this tricky issue that impacts the whole family. We dig deep into the changing dating world that our adults are navigating. Greenwald explains the difference between a Dating Coach, a Matchmaker, and an Online Concierge.

    New York Times columnist David Brooks sparked debate about that after he published his column “To Be Happy, Marriage Matters More Than Career.” Greenwald tells us why she agrees with Brooks and how the COVID Pandemic changed dating and relationships in a positive way. She tells us how to approach the subject with our adult children using words that are nonjudgemental.

    Listen for more on: Skills for dating today; how dating has become about gamification; Does coming from a divorced or challenged family impact partner choices? She discusses other options for helping your adult child in this area of their life including dating boot camps, podcasts and books. We will share those links in social media.

    We discuss dating for seniors too! Remember to listen to the interesting podcast Behind the Swipe, exploring issues facing men and women over 40 navigating the confusing world of online dating.

  • Today we discuss the sometimes difficult, yet rewarding relationships between mothers and daughters.

    We speak with Pam Tronson, parenting couch with a special certification in mother/daughter relationships.

    The connection between a mother and daughter is one of the strongest and most important family relationships. Accepting that it can be difficult and messy is key to being able to navigate the highs and lows. Bound by love we are often disappointed when our adult relationships with our daughters don’t meet the dream we had for what that relationship could look like. We have to reframe the image.

    Pam offers solutions to help us let go of control and worry and avoid resentment. She discusses how the shame we feel, about the perceived “failed” relationship, gets in the way of the repair that is needed.

    Resolution only requires one person to change the trajectory of the relationship. And showing one another that they are worth the effort is impactful.

    Learning to practice self-care and to love yourself is the key to setting the necessary boundaries to build better, more meaningful relationships with our daughters.

    Asking the right questions of ourselves and our daughters will help guide productive conversations. What else could be true? Am I part of the problem or part of the solution? How does this service in its current state? Why am I choosing this aspect of my story?

    And learn to stop comparing ourselves and our relationships with our daughters to what we perceive others have.

  • We're thrilled to be joined by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author of "How to Raise an Adult" and "Your Turn." As a former dean at Stanford University, Julie offers a unique lens to view the nuanced world of parenting, and the perils that lurk within the shadows of over-involvement.

    This captivating episode is a deep dive into the challenging world of raising children into responsible adults. Julie illuminatingly discusses the societal pressures that implore parents to hover, the pitfalls of over-parenting, and her expert insights on striking the crucial balance between supporting and empowering young adults.

    From discussing the financial struggles of young adults and the potential solution of multi-generational living, to the consequential impact of the political climate on their decision-making, we're crossing a vast expanse of challenges.

    We stress the importance of treating adult children as independent adults, setting boundaries, and open communication.

    We also delve into the nitty-gritty of different parenting styles, from authoritative to neglectful, underscoring the significance of being an authoritative parent who sets rules while demonstrating love and care.

    As our children grow into adults, we discuss transitioning to a more supportive and consultative role and offering practical parenting advice. This episode is packed with profound insights and practical advice, promising to be an engaging, insightful, and enlightening discussion on raising responsible adults. So, hit the play button and let's reshape the future of our relationships with adult children together!

  • We had a fantastic time chatting with the talented author and journalist, Jessica Grose, who helped us understand the intricate landscape of parenting today and how she fares as a young adult. We talk about how we can support our young adult children today.
    Her book, Screaming on the Inside, the Unsustainability of American Motherhood, is both an historical look at motherhood and a sounding alarm on the state of motherhood today. She acknowledges that one major change in society could make a big difference for parents today. Do you think you know what it is?

    Jessica Grose is an Opinion Writer for The New York Times and if you have not read her articles - you must subscribe now. She brings two sides to this interview. The side of a young mother balancing career and family and being a young adult.

    She wrote an article for The New York Times titled “Your Mom is Destined to Annoy You: how to manage your inevitable holiday regression,” and then after the height of COVID, when folks started traveling again, she wrote an article titled “The Return of the Holiday Season Agita.”

    In today's episode we talk about it all. Jess is truly one of the most grounded young adults I've spoken with in a long time. I told her this in the interview and she takes an educated guess as to why she is this way. We talk about how motherhood has changed over the years but also how it has stayed the same. You will be surprised to hear a quote she shares from The New York Times Parenting columnist Catherine Mackenzie from 1939.

  • Today's episode we speak with the "Godmother of Silicon Valley," Esther Wojcicki.
    If you have not heard of her - you must listen to this episode.

    She is the author of the best selling book "How to Raise Successful People - Simple Lessons for Radical Results"
    She's as expert no doubt because she has raised three enormously successful daughters including Susan Wojcicki, who was the CEO of Youtube from 2014 to 2023. Janet Wojcicki, a professor of Pediatrics and Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23 and Me.

    How does this relate to our adult children? She talks about a strategy she calls TRICK – Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness.

    Each of these are essential in our relationships with our adult children. She gives advice to those listeners who are grandparents and also a general overview of the challenging world we are all in today.

    What is our role? How schools are failing our kids and once again the role of over-involment in our children’s lives and how this impacts their journey in life.

    Hear her thoughts on nature vs nurture and much more.

  • This is a not to be missed episode!

    We talk to Dr. Gene Beresin, Executive director of The Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a full professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and senior educator in child and adolescent psychiatry at MGH

    His 40-years of experience working with youth and young adults has given him an enormous breath of knowledge. And, in addition to his professional life, he's learned quite a bit about building healthy relationships with adult children, since he is a father of four with nine grandkids! He tells us that almost all of them moved home after college or between college and grad school. He says that they all have kids -- making family relationships complex, but incredibly rich and rewarding. You will have to listen for more! A sampling of the topics:

    Work-life balance.Boomerang Kids (a listener question).Which generation is the loneliest and most entitled? AI, robots -- our adult kids and the future.Racism.How socioeconomic status plays into relationships with adult children.Our expectations and impulse control.Gap years - and more.

  • Struggling with your adult kids? Are they about to cut you out of their lives or you just want to build a stronger relationship? We cover it all in this episode, where we speak with Dr. Joshua Coleman about two of his books:

    When Parents Hurt: Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don't Get Along Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict

    Dr. Coleman speaks with us about the shift in culture and parenting that has led to an alarming increase in adult children choosing to be estranged from one or both of their parents. These children are quick to blame parents for everything they see as not working in their own lives or holding them back from the life they want.

    With Dr. Coleman, we explore reasons behind that shift and the effects of how parents can and should respond for less conflict. How do we navigate estrangement from our adult children? Can we avoid it? And who is in the driver’s seat?

    Dr. Coleman shares his own personal experience with an adult child who chose to be estranged for a period of time, and how he was able to navigate that experience.

    Most importantly, Dr. Coleman shares the importance of taking care of ourselves through parenting our adult children while acknowledging that our relationships with our adult children may not be what we imagined.

    We welcome Kirsten Heckendorf, mother of three adult children as our guest host.

  • Today we speak with Kimberly Damon. Kim, a certified life coach who wears a multitude of hats.

    Kim discusses the importance of finding a lesson in everything, practicing self-reflection and embracing acceptance. These themes highlight the transformative power of personal growth and understanding in relationships, particularly between parents and their adult children.

    Kim shares her own journey of experiencing estrangement with her children and parents, which compelled her to seek solutions and mend these fractured relationships. She helps us learn to take responsibility for our own happiness and healing our emotions, while also recognizing that we are not alone in our struggles.

    We also talk about negative thoughts and how we sometimes develop these about ourselves or our relationships with our adult kids. How to take charge of these thoughts and realize that sometimes they may not necessarily be true. This can lead to negative emotions and inaccurate perceptions of our circumstances.

    I promised a link to the video Kim's Empty Nest Conference where Denise was interviewed. Link here to view.

  • On Mother's Day 2023, my daughter Catie sent me a link to a book and wrote, "the author and her mom would make great guests on your podcast."

    The book “What to Do When I’m Gone, A Mother’s Wisdom to her Daughter” sparked my interest. I ordered the book and loved it. I told my daughter I would love to do an episode with the authors of this book - as long as she was the guest co-host. She agreed.

    So here we are, two adult children and two mothers talking about death.

    We talk to illustrator/writer Hallie Bateman and her mom, retired journalist Suzy Hopkins on navigating the world without the person who gave you life. We discuss the sometimes difficult relationships with mothers and daughters, preserving memories and family history and the ups and downs of their collaboration.

    It's a funny, fun and thoughtful episode that I think anyone with adult sons or daughters would enjoy. Hallie tells us that many readers wrote that the book inspired them to build stronger relationships with their sons, daughters, relatives, friends – even pets.

    And they have another book on the way - What to Do When You Get Dumped! Suzy shares the personal story that inspired this book.

  • In this episode, we talk to Dr. Laurence Steinberg about his new book - You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together During Challenging Times.

    He brings us a whole new perspective. Touted as the first comprehensive guide for parents navigating the crucial decades of their children's lives, we explore everything so many issues. We delve into the complexities of the parent-adult child relationship and discuss the challenges and changes that come with this stage of life.

    Steinberg shares valuable insights on topics such as setting boundaries, fostering autonomy, and navigating financial support. We explore the impact of societal changes on the parent-adult child dynamic and how to build a positive relationship during this crucial phase.

    It's a must-listen for anyone seeking to strengthen their relationship with their adult children or gain a deeper understanding of this unique stage of life.

    We cover many topics ranging from whether you should be involved in your child’s college education, how to behave when they unexpectedly must move back home, how to state your opinion on their romantic partners, what to do when you disagree with the way they are raising their own child, and what parameters to apply if you want to give them money for a specific reason.

    Steinberg helps us understand the challenging climate our young adult children are navigating and how we can be supportive yet not intrusive. He offers some real tools and new ideas about navigating this journey.

  • It's June and that is typically wedding season. So we thought we'd combine our two wedding episodes into one BEST OF THE BEST. You will hear first from fAleigh Huston-Lyons, a therapist and coach at AisleTalk: Consultation & Therapy. A boutique practice devoted to helping brides and grooms cope with the stresses that arise during wedding planning and anticipation of marriage. From engagement and finances to the invite list and drama, Aleigh puts in all in perspective. Social media has taken a toll on weddings and learn how Aleigh gives some sound advice on keeping it all under control.

    Next we welcome Michelle Martinez, who is not only a Certified Wedding Consultant, with more than 20 years in the wedding and events industry, but also the creator and host of the world's mosts popular wedding podcast - The Big Wedding Planning Podcast. With 300 episodes under her belt and nearly three million downloads, she's been around the block a few times!

    It seems to all come back to what Julie Dolan told us in our grand-parenting episode about being the loving and loyal servant.

    If you are in the stages of wedding planning and don't have the budget for a big time wedding planner, Michelle now offers a masterclass on her website. A tiny percent of what a full wedding planner would cost. Check it out her Master Class offer here.

    Thanks so much to Connie Gorant Fisher our audio engineer who did her very best in editing, cutting and splicing these two episodes together!

  • It's Pride Month and we are taking a second look at the LGBTQ+ community.

    We have two guests. The first is Linda K. Reeves, a licensed marriage and family therapist certified as a gender specialist by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. She is the founder of Linda K. Reeves Therapy. Her therapy utilizes her clinical skills in the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-binary, questioning, and queer identified individuals.

    Her recent article in Good Housekeeping, "How to Support Your LGBTQ+ Kid When He, She or They Come Out," got our attention. We talk to her about this and well as what it means for a young person to come out to their family and friends. We discuss how to respond to your child or friend and what to say and what not to say. We also talk about the current continued discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community,

    We switch gears entirely when we welcome a Tik-Tok sensation - JannaTransMomma. (she explains the unusual spelling of mamma). Janna is a a single mom to a trans child named Cody. She’s been identified as a key influencer on Tik-Tok (love it or hate it) for making a real difference for trans youth.

    She gives us a quick 101 lesson on what it means to be transgender, how to support your child and/or friends or family. Janna shares some of the scary statistics about trans people and suicide. Acceptance, she says, will save a life. She is honest about the mistakes she made on her journey and is funny, delightful and very knowledgeable. She shares these sites for additional resources: Pflag: plfag.org

  • Welcome back to THE most downloaded episode of Season 2.
    Our guest today, one of the foremost experts who studies how individuals and families develop and change throughout their lives, tells us that as we age, we regret not reconciling with family members we may be estranged or distant from.

    Today we welcome Dr. Karl Pillemer, Professor of Human Development at Cornell University, where he is also a faculty member in Cornell’s medical school. He is the author of the book: “Fault Lines, Fractured Families and How to Mend Them.” He is the author of several other remarkable books about love, relationships and aging.

    We are also welcoming a guest host - Stacie Lavato. Stacie is a long-time listener and reached out to us after we dropped the episode on understanding LGBTQ+ with Levi Teachey and Stacey Shigaya. She wrote such a heartwarming email and the two of us connected. Then, I learned that Stacy produces her own podcast called “Mindful Mama Conversations,” I listened to a few, and I liked her topics and her style, so I asked her to join me.

    The biggest “ah ha” moment for Stacie and I is when Dr. Pillemar mentioned “intergenerational stake.” We both had never heard of this - but it makes perfect sense. It is the generational bias in parents' and adult children's perceptions of their joint relationship.

    Thanks so much to Connie Gorant Fisher, our audio engineer.

  • Street Interviews with Young Adults and Parents from Around the World!
    As the old saying goes, “the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray.” That is exactly what happened.

    Denise's plan to visit Ellen in Prague took a turn when Ellen, then in Boston, tested positive for COVID just a few days before her planned trip to Prague for Denise's arrival.

    She thought she might join a few days later if she tested negative, but her mother, who lives in Wisconsin, took a fall and Ellen went to take care of her. Denise and her husband, Kevin, spent 10 days in Prague in Ellen’s apartment... sadly, without Ellen. The episode we had planned, about Ellen's book, had to be cancelled!

    So, today we are sharing street interviews with parents and adult children that Denise conducted in Prague. We interviewed people from Germany, New Zealand, Great Britain, the US and more. We also include some interviews from New York City’s Central Park.

    We learned pretty quickly that some of the struggles parents have with their adult children are global issues. You will have to listen to learn more - it’s a fun episode!

    Thank you to Connie Gorant Fisher, who took what we gave her and made the episode quite special and unique.

  • This episode digs deep. Today we interview Daniel Maté, who, with his father Dr. Gabor Maté has been holding highly engaging and popular workshops called “Hello Again - A Fresh Start for Parents and Their Adult Children."

    He points out that they do not call their workshops "a happy ending," instead it is a "fresh start." Everyone's fresh start will look different and he talks about how to get there.

    Dr. Maté, Daniel's father is a renowned speaker and author who, as his website says: "weaves together scientific research, case histories, and his own insights and experience to present a broad perspective that enlightens and empowers people to promote their own healing and that of those around them."

    And that is what we hear from Daniel today. How they work with parents and adult children and sort carefully this "intense, speedy relationship." "Once you are an adult," he says, your relationship with your parents is a choice...that comes with risks, rewards and pitfalls." This is not an episode with "answers," this is an episode to truly get you to think and examine so many aspects of yourself, your child-rearing and your adult children. This episode will help you realize what is possible.

    Read more about Daniel and his father's book, the New York Times best selling book “The Myth of Normal.” Link to Daniel's Mental Chiropractic Service and as an award-winning composer, lyricist, and playwright for musical theatre don't miss his podcast -- Let’s Get Lyrical.
