Episode Synopsis

In this milestone episode, Lori is joined by her 22-year-old daughter, Langley, for a candid and heartfelt conversation about what it really takes to stay close to your young adult children. They share: • What their relationship looked like before emotional maturity and coaching • The moment things shifted and why • How to repair “old patterns” and rebuild trust • What adult children actually need from their parents • The surprising beauty (and awkward adjustment!) of adult kids moving back home This isn’t a mom-confessional or a blame session — it’s a story of growth, grace, and learning to love your adult children without controlling them. If you’ve ever wondered: • “Is it too late to repair the relationship?” • “Why does my adult child pull away?” • “How do I stay close without overstepping?” This episode will encourage you, steady you, and give you real language and tools to help your relationship flourish. If you liked this episode, please share it with a friend!
