Cougar College
We are on a midlife mission to know it all (not a midlife mission to teach middle age women how to pick up young men......sorry ladies!)
Journey along with us as we learn something new every week…..from the rules of football, to how to grieve well, to the ‘joys’ of menopause….there’s no topic off the table!
‘If you don’t grow, you decay’, ya’ll. And we are living proof that growth can be loud, messy, and at times, hilarious.
Smart, funny and fiercely real…..tune in, grab your Cougar Cocktail and end your day wiser than when you began it.
Welcome to Cougar College, Ya'll.

Episode 46: Parenting Cougar Cubs—Teens and Adults. They’re “Grown”…or grown “ish”…So Why Am I Still Worried?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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. 🤭⌚️
May you end your day wiser🐾
