Adult Children Are Cutting Off Their Parents and Regretting It

 Let me preface...this podcast is not about victims of sexual or physical abuse. This is about misguided children who choose to leave their parents for an unknown reason. Our adult children are cutting off their parents at an alarming rate. This is due to several different factors. One being, disagreements over how they were raised, past trauma, politics, gender, and religion. There are many different reasons for this. It could be their therapist has misdirected the client. Current social media is telling them it’s a good idea to cut off their parents. A lot of these young adults regret their decision. This podcast will investigate how these young adults are facing their lives without parents and regretting their decision to cut them off.

Addiction of a Spouse

Dealing with loved ones that are in active addiction is horrible. Dealing with a spouse you agreed to stick by for better or worse can be another thing entirely. An addicted spouse when you have much invested in the relationship is hard to confront. This may include a home, children, family, finances, etc. This podcast will examine how to approach our spouse with concerns and fears. We will learn what to say and what not to say. Threatening your spouse and not following through will not help your loved one get sober. Imagine what your family and friends think of the situation. This can create a negative atmosphere for everyone involved. Let's look closely at what it takes to stay or go. Everyone deserves better….Namaste

Parenting Our Parents

Not everyone has parents who are willing to parent selflessly. Many parents turn to their children for advice or disclose far too much adult information to their children. This may seem harmless, but it may throw your child into an adult world they are not ready for. These children, and into adulthood feel that it is their responsibility to help with all decisions related to their parents. This becomes a cross to bear for the child, leading to anger, resentment, and frustration. In this podcast, I will share my journey with my mother and the toll it took on me. You can love your parents and still need some distance. In the world of boundary making this may be another you’ll need….just for good measure….Peace

Hating Kaitlyn, and the Lack of Customer Service

In a world where customer service is non-existent, there was Kaitlyn my last straw! Listen, whether it’s work that gets you down or the people you encounter. There are ways to get around feeling like we are being walked on or disrespected. In this podcast, I will go over the tale of Kaitlyn and the straw that broke this camel's back. Standing up for yourself and getting what you need in the workplace or just out and about shouldn't be a reach. The common thread here is kindness and asking for what you need. We will look into the different ways that you can express your needs without creating a scene. Be well and be happy but get the respect you deserve!

People Who Expect Far Too Much From Others

Do you know someone who has you labeled and everyone else as a permanent letdown? These are the type of people that cannot be pleased. Their expectations of you are unreachable. It's as if we should be able to read their minds and anticipate their needs. This can be very challenging if it’s a family member, coworker, or boss. In the episode, I will explain the thinking of the self-centered person and how to handle their needs. People who treat us in this way do this because they can, we allow it. Navigating a relationship that isn’t easy to get out of is challenging. I’m here to help, so get a pad of paper and take notes on how to deal with the self-centered.

I will help to untangle this mess for you. Understanding our unmet needs and the complexity of our partner choice.
