Do your emotions about your adult child relationships feel productive when they're actually keeping you trapped? In this vulnerable episode, Kim reveals the five "sneaky indulging emotions" that masquerade as motherly concern but function like emotional quicksand.

Through personal stories and client experiences, you'll discover how doubt, overwhelm, confusion, worry, and self-pity create the illusion of progress while keeping you stuck in painful cycles. Kim explains why we unconsciously choose these emotions (hint: they protect us from deeper truths) and shares practical tools to break free from each pattern.

This isn't about dismissing your feelings or pretending everything is fine. It's about learning the difference between processing emotions and indulging in them. You'll walk away with specific techniques like the "doubt timer," "snapshot thinking," and the "worry window" to help you channel your emotional energy toward healing instead of spinning.

Feeling hurt, rejected, or frustrated by your grown children's choices? What if the pain you're experiencing isn't actually caused by what they're doing, but by how you're thinking about what they're doing?

In this eye-opening episode, Kim explores the powerful concept of subjective thoughts and how they shape every interaction with your adult children. Through real-life examples and practical steps, you'll discover why two moms can have identical situations yet completely different emotional experiences.

You'll learn the six-step process for examining and shifting your thought patterns, plus the "thought ladder" technique that helps you move from painful thoughts to peaceful ones without forcing false positivity.

This isn't about pretending everything is fine - it's about recognizing you have more power than you realize to create the relationship experience you want with your grown children. Get ready to transform your perspective and reclaim your peace.
