We spend so much of our lives constantly trying to avoid the inevitable challenges that come along from the difficult circumstances that our very own choices have led us to be in.

What buffaloes do is very unique for the animal kingdom.

What does this have to do with being the parent of adult children? Steve and Julia have a unique way to get their point across about the tough struggles and trauma we have faced and how we can find freedom and healing while deepening healthy relationships with our adult kids.

We all do it. We can't help it. We choose hills to die on that we regret later and we ask ourselves, "Was it worth it?"

Choosing to bite our tongue and have relationship with our adult child(ren) over being right is key to pivoting well from "parent" to "partner."

Join Steve and Julia on The Parent Pivot Podcast as they help us navigate the minefields that come up when our adult children like or do things we may not agree with.

Pivoting from a parent to a partner comes with a mixture of emotions. You might feel down, lonely, or a bit unsure about what to do with all the new free time you suddenly have. It's a big change, after all. Your job as the parent has shifted, and now it's time to watch your adult children make their way in the world.

On this episode of The Parent Pivot Podcast, Steve and Julia shed some light on how we can navigate this season of life and become a help to our adult children at the same time.
