The Day You Realize You’re Not in Control Anymore

Ready to feel seen? This episode hits hard on the chaos, tears, and tiny victories of parenting adults and how it’s basically a never-ending soap opera. If you're racing the clock, wondering when the hell it gets easier, grab a drink or maybe two because you're not alone in this wild ride.

We dive into the real-life breakdown of watching your kids grow up, the trauma of them leaving the nest, and the secret desire to hit pause on the entire process. You’ll discover why all the “kids grow up so fast” advice is a total lie, and how the biggest surprises come when you least expect them like realizing that adulting is just giant emotional rollercoaster with no seat belts. Also, get this the truth about favorite cities, the highs and lows of university fears, and why retirement homes might be the only peace left in this madness.

Our candid chats cover everything from obsessively planning their college escape routes, to that gut-twisting moment when you see their tiny hands turn into big decisions. You'll learn how to survive kids’ crises, keep your sanity, and what really happens when your role shifts from protector to spectator.

This episode is perfect if you’re tired of pretending you have it all together, or just want to laugh through the tears. Spoiler: It’s a hot mess for everyone, and that’s totally okay. Because, let’s be honest if you’re still breathing, you’re winning the parenting game.

Ready to embrace the chaos and maybe even laugh about it? Hit play and let’s normalize the fact that none of us actually know what we’re doing. Trust us, you're going to want a front-row seat for this one.
