Ever feel like you're navigating a maze as your kids transition into adulthood, unsure if you're helping or hovering? Let’s explore that together.
Today, I get personal and chat with my daughter, Jordan, about what it's really like for young adults when they leave the nest and start "adulting." We dive into her experiences post-college, from career twists and turns to figuring out finances and navigating new social landscapes. It's eye-opening for me, and I think it will be for you too, to hear her candid insights on how we, as parents, can best support our kids during this significant life stage.
Jordan shares her own journey of shifting from a social work major to a career in journalism, reminding us that it's okay if their path isn't linear. We also discuss the emotional rollercoaster of independence – the excitement, the fear, and the steep learning curve of managing money and building a new daily routine.
Ultimately, this conversation is a heartfelt exploration of how we can adjust our parenting roles as our adult children grow, fostering open communication, offering support without judgment, and celebrating their evolving independence.
Key Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
👉 Embrace your adult children’s evolving journey
👉 Offer support without judgment
👉 Encourage problem-solving skills
👉 Respect their independence
👉 Celebrate their successes
