Tired of walking on eggshells around your grown children? In this episode, Kim explores the difference between true kindness and people-pleasing. She shares her personal journey from being a controlling "boss mom" to a people-pleasing doormat, and how she found the middle ground of confident kindness.

Discover why saying "no" with love is actually more caring than always saying "yes," and learn how to set boundaries that strengthen rather than strain your relationships with adult children. Kim breaks down the biblical wisdom behind speaking truth with love and provides practical examples of how to respond when your grown kids test your boundaries.

If you're ready to stop earning approval and start being authentically you, this episode will give you the tools to love your adult children well while honoring yourself. Perfect for empty nest moms who want deeper, more respectful relationships with their grown kids.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
