You did the parenting. They’re “grown up” now. Yet it still feels like you’re raising a child. Why does this stage of having an adult feel so hard? Will it ever get easier? What can I do?

In this episode of LAUNCH, I’m exposing 2 surprising reasons your grown-up kid might be  acting like they’re still 15—and spoiler alert: it’s not laziness or lack of motivation. These hidden causes are often overlooked (and NEVER talked about) but once you understand them, everything starts to make sense.

I’ll help you recognize what’s really going on behind their behaviour and give you steps you can take to shift this dynamic to help them mature and behave like the adult they are. 

This episode might clear up a lot of your confusion. It did for me!
