We spend years counting down to milestones—driving, graduation, moving out, becoming independent. Then one day, they’re technically grown, making their own decisions, and somehow the worrying doesn’t stop. It just changes. In this episode, we’re talking about the unique challenges of parenting teens and adult children: learning when to step in, when to stay quiet, and how to support them without trying to control the outcome. If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake wondering if your “grown” child made it home, ate a vegetable, or is making good life choices, this conversation is for you. Because no matter how old our Cougar Cubs get, they’ll always be our babies—and apparently, that concern doesn’t come with an expiration date. 🤭⌚️
