    Today we discuss the circle of life and explore the emotional and delicate balance of caregiving. For most of us we will be caregivers to our spouse, parents or even our children. And at some point, our own children will be our caregivers. We are lucky to have two guests. The first is Dana Eble, who has been involved in Alzheimer’s disease philanthropy for more than a decade, which led her to being one of the first employees at Alzheimer’s Caregivers Network in 2021. Dana works to educate and equip caregivers with the knowledge and resources they need to excel in their roles while avoiding burnout.

    Joining Dana is Jessica Smith. Dana shares her own story of her mother being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease the age of 61. She remembers wanting to hide. She felt shame and fear as her family’s world and daily realities changed.

    You'll discover how mindfulness became Jessica's anchor in managing her responsibilities and learn about the essential resource, "Navigating Alzheimer's Disease: A Map for Caregivers," available as a free PDF for anyone on a similar path.

    We dive into the tough conversations that many of us avoid, yet are necessary when dealing with dementia—like preparing for end-of-life discussions and challenging the often grim societal perceptions around the disease.

    How do we transform our parenting roles as our children become young adults?
    Today we speak with Julie Lythcott-Hames, former Stanford University dean and bestselling author of "How to Raise an Adult" and "Your Turn." Joined by guest co-host Erica Gardner-Gray, we unravel the complexities of modern parenting, addressing societal pressures and the myth of effortless achievement.

    As a parent herself, Lythcott-Haims acknowledges that parenting young adults is a continuous learning process. Despite her credentials and expertise, she humbly admits that she is still figuring things out and undoing patterns in her own journey. She encourages listeners not to interpret her words as criticism but rather as lessons learned from her own experiences.

    We examine the long-term effects of over-involvement on millennials and Gen Z. From helicopter parenting to the financial and emotional implications of extended adolescence, we tackle the difficult dynamics that parents face today. Strategies are offered for navigating this terrain, highlighting the importance of finding a delicate balance between supporting and enabling, and the necessity of preparing young adults to fend for themselves in an increasingly complex world.

    We discuss practical steps for supporting young adults, emphasizing the value of allowing them to learn from their challenges and lead their own lives.

    Another listener favorite! Today we discuss the sometimes difficult, yet rewarding relationships between mothers and daughters. We speak with Pam Tronson, parenting coach 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 that relationship.

    Pam offers solutions to help us let go of control and worry and avoid resentment. She discusses how the shame we feel, and the perceived “failed” relationship can get 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.

    Beyond the personal stories and emotional shifts, Pam also discusses broader societal influences that affect motherhood. She addresses issues like parental anxiety, control, entitlement, and the normalization of worry. Highlighting the necessity of empathy and understanding different perspectives, Pam teaches us how redefining love and setting healthy boundaries can break the cycle of negative self-narratives. This episode is a treasure trove of heartfelt guidance, practical advice, and emotional support for anyone looking to navigate the complex, yet beautiful, bond between mothers and daughters.

    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.

    It's always a good idea to listen again!

    Merging families in adulthood, also known as adult stepfamilies or later lifestyle families, can be challenging. Some say it can take up to five years to create harmony, and that the divorce rate is higher for people who marry a second time.

    Then there are the issues of pre-nuptials, estate planning and making sure your children are not left of the mix. This tends to be even more challenging with a second marriage, especially if you both have children from previous marriages or relationships.

    We talk bout the legalities to consider prior to plunging into a second marriage. A significant difference in age and financial resources can also cause difficulties and potential delays. However, the consequences of avoiding this conversation are even more dire in a blended family because laws affecting estate distribution have been written to better fit the needs of a traditional first marriage.

    We also talk about how to approach the sensitive topics of dating and divorce with your adult children and practical tips on when to introduce your new partner.

    What happens when your sweet, funny, smart, enthusiastic child turns out to have a mental illness? Where do you go for help? Who do you turn to for advice? And what if those institutions and experts fail you and more importantly, fail your young adult? What happens when everywhere you look for help or support you come up disappointed and alone?

    In today’s episode we hear from a couple whose family, much like any of ours, has been turned upside down because of a drastic change in their son’s mental health, subsequent drug issues, and the failure of our mental health systems that we assume are trained well enough to handle these challenges.

    It is a silent struggle we bring a voice to today. The Holtons bear their souls, recounting their son Patrick's descent from youthful athleticism to one ensnared by the clutches of dextromethorphan abuse. Sometimes called Robo-Tripping. The drug of choice is Robitussin, easily accessible over the counter to just about anyone.

    Their narrative addresses the sometimes treacherous waters of the healthcare system, the cold reality of guardianship rights, and the isolation that so often accompanies mental health crises.

    The Holten share their story in hopes that it will help other families with a young adult facing similar challenges. They suggest support networks such as NAMI and and the necessity of perseverance when confronting mental illness and substance abuse.

    Their experiences shed light on the significance of seeking the right medical advice, staying the course despite heartbreak, and cherishing the moments of joy amidst the pain.

    This episode will defy nearly everything we've talked about over the past few years.

    Our guest Jeffrey Arnett, Ph.D is renowned for proposing coined the theory and term “emerging adult” in the early 2000’s. He characterizes this stage of life by exploration, instability, and boundless optimism.

    But when we talk about technology, sex, and societal patterns he outwardly rejects much of the current research and tells us why.

    We take a look at how things have changed since his original book in 2013 Getting to 30: A Parent’s Guide to the 20-Something Years to his latest book Emerging Adulthood: The Winding Road from Late Teens Through the Twenties.

    What we talk about:

    Significant changes that have occurred over the past decade. We tackle the topic of sex and how the current generation's approach to it has evolved.

    We get to the digital world and how completely disagrees with much of the so-called research and its lack of firm causation results.

    He also offers some advice for staying connected to your young adults and leaves us with an optimistic view.

    He discusses the historical pattern of societal issues and how they played out in past generations (including ours!)

    And we touch on our grandchildren’s generation and the recent Los Angeles Times article “Millennials Gave Birth to ‘Generation Alpha.’ Are these kids already doomed?”

    Our takeaway is that maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to stereotype any generation. Maybe we allow them to come out of the emerging adulthood stage as fully realized adults and they will prove all the naysayers wrong.

    Listen and let us know what you think.

    When we think of Mother's Day, we often envision breakfast in bed or a sweet card, but the truth is, the gifts that mothers cherish most are the bonds they share with their children, no matter their age.

    That is what we hear today from our guests. Mary Dell Harrington and Lisa Heffernan. They are the founders of Grown & Flown, the very popular website and social media stops. Together, we unpack the transition from managing a bustling household to adapting to an 'empty nest', and how this shift doesn't mean the end of parenting, but the beginning of a new chapter.

    We get a behind the scenes look at how they started, what is the most valuable advice they've learned and what they see on the horizon.

    We talk about so much including:

    Adapting different strategies for each child's unique needsSignificance of Mother's Day to many and how to set clear expectationsMulti-generation living and why taking the failure out of "failure to launch" is so importantHow the pandemic has re-shaped our understanding of family living situations.Complexities of financial support and how to handle itSpirituality, mental health and so much more.

    This episode dives deep into resilience. We talk to a resilience expert and parenting coach about how to build resilience - in ourselves and our adult children.

    Why do we sometimes look at the bad and forget to remember and be grateful for the positive? Our guests explain that neuroscience tells us that we are programmed to look at the negative and much more difficult to remind ourselves of the positives.

    We discuss the process that involves building our resilience muscles, such as positivity, confidence, and creativity. Our guests are Linda Hoopes, founder of the Resilience Alliance , a licensed psychologist whose professional work focuses on resilience. Joining Linda is Kris Burbank, a parenting coach for all stages of life to enhance their skills as professionals, parents, and partners. Together they co-authored the book, Embracing Another Normal: Resilience Stories and Strategies for Raising Children with Disabilities.

    Though originally targeted for parents of families with children with disabilities, the book has grabbed the attention of all parents struggling to find their strength in parenting as their children move through life into young adulthood.

    Their book begins with this quote from Winnie the Pooh to Christopher Robin:
    “Promise me you’ll always remember. That you’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem. And smarter than you know.”

    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.
