About this episode

Jody Moore discusses the negative impact of worrying about adult children and offers alternative approaches to parenting.

Are you constantly thinking about your adult children, worrying about their choices, or wondering if you did enough as a parent? What if most of that anxiety isn't serving you or them? This week, I break down why worrying about your adult children's lives is really fear disguised as wisdom, why trying to control outcomes actually disconnects you from your kids, and what to do instead.
