“My Big Kid Doesn't Seem To Like Me Anymore”—Thoughts Moms Parenting Teens and Adult Kids Are Ashamed They Think | Ep. 246
About this episode
The episode explores the emotional challenges mothers face when their teenage children seem distant, offering insights on maintaining connection and self-empowerment.
Do you ever experience painful moments with your big kid and think, “I don’t think they like me anymore." The thought brings up so much heartbreak...and even shame. You think, "How did we get here?" In this episode, I take you inside that exact experience...the overthinking after they don’t text back, the knot in your stomach when they seem fine with everyone else but distant with you, the way your mind tries to make sense of it by turning it into something personal. I will show you how we unknowingly hand over our emotional power, tie our peace to our child’s behavior, and start questioning ourselves in ways that create even more distance. Join me to consider that this isn’t about losing your relationship… it’s about finding a deeper, more grounded way to stay connected...to them, and to yourself. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
