Still Your Kid—Now Your Friend: Navigating the Shift from Parenting to Partnership. Learning to Laugh through the Launch!
What happens when your child grows up—but your relationship doesn’t? In this heartwarming and insightful episode, Kristen Gatlin, one of Crawford Clinics' beloved therapists joins Dr. Shannan Crawford to unpack the emotional shift that occurs when parenting moves from authority to camaraderie.
Together, they explore how to foster deep connection, mutual respect, and yes—humor—as your child steps into adulthood. Whether your son or daughter is in college, newly independent, or still navigating young adulthood, this conversation will equip you with tools to release control without losing closeness, invite authenticity without overstepping, and laugh your way through the awkward transitions.
Discover how to stay emotionally available, spiritually anchored, and relationally wise as you grow alongside your grown kids.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
