“I walked past their empty bedroom and felt a lump rise in my throat. The silence was deafening. For the first time in years, no backpacks by the door, no late-night check-ins… just me, a quiet house, and a haunting question: Who am I now?”
If you’ve ever stood in that doorway—caught between pride and grief—this episode is for you.
In Part 2 of our heartfelt conversation, Dr. Shannan Crawford sits down again with Crawford Clinics' beloved therapist Kristen Gatlin to explore the emotional journey of launching kids into adulthood and rediscovering your own identity along the way. Together, they unpack how to:
-
Find your purpose beyond parenting
-
Let go of control without losing connection
-
Transform your role from caretaker to trusted friend
-
Create new rhythms of closeness with your adult children
You are not alone in this transition—and this episode offers the hope, laughter, and practical tools you need to thrive in this beautiful new chapter.
