Pivoting from parent to partner can seem like there's more negative than positive going on. It takes a shift in thinking and relating to your adult child in an entirely different way.

But in this new season as you pivot, there is joy to be found. You just have to look for it.

On this edition of The Parent Pivot Podcast, Steve and Julia share two different views of how you can find joy on this season of pivoting.

The pivot from parent to partner is not easy. It's not a "one and done." It's not even about "checking the box." Pivoting can be hard for some parents and the question that comes up often is:

"How can I tell if I'm stuck in parent mode?"

On this edition of The Parent Pivot Podcast, Steve and Julia get real and vulnerable about being aware of some things that may keep you from the pivot to becoming a healthy partner to your adult child(ren).

Do you struggle with anxiety about how your adult child(ren) are living their lives? It could be the job they've chosen, or maybe they're struggling to make it on their own. You're left feeling weary and asking yourself the question: "My adult child isn't living the life I'd like them to. What's a parent, I mean . . . what's a PARTNER to do?"

On this episode of The Parent Pivot Podcast, you'll hear some honest, open and vulnerable talk from Steve and Julia and what they've been through themselves, as well as helping other parents pivot to becoming a "Prodigal Partner." Get a cup of coffee and sit back and let this podcast soak deep into your heart. It's worth every minute.
