Strengthening the Relationship with Your Adult Child :: Kathy Cunningham [Ep 543]

Is it too late to rebuild your relationship with your adult child? What if there’s grief, resentment, or even silence between you?

In this episode, Kathy Cunningham, a Christian counselor, ordained minister, coach, and inner healing ministry leader shares her deeply personal journey of healing, transformation, and restored connection with her adult children. Kathy went through a journey with both of her kids and started to see more and more parent child estrangement in her counseling practice. This led her to start a ministry that helps parents grow and be a cheerleader instead of controlling their adult kids. Here is some of what we cover:
  • Why your own healing journey is key to restoring connection
  • Setting healthy boundaries in your home while honoring your child’s independence
  • What to do when your child has cut off contact
  • Radical acceptance: creating space for disagreement without division
  • Moms whose identity has been wrapped up in parenting find themselves feeling lost and unsure of who they are once their kids leave home- what to do next
