The book offers real, practical advice on setting boundaries, keeping the lines of communication open, and nurturing deeper relationships with your grown kids. It’s a warm, encouraging guide that made me feel more confident about this new phase of parenting. Highly recommended!

I listened to this audiobook with my mom, who’s always been the rock in our family—raising four of us and still staying deeply involved in our lives. I knew this would help her navigate the shift into parenting adult children, especially around setting boundaries and rediscovering herself. It was thoughtful, relatable, and gave us both a lot to reflect on. A beautiful resource for parents learning how to show up in a new season of life.

I didn’t expect to feel emotional listening to this, but I did. It made me realize I was still trying to control my kids in little ways. I want a good relationship with them now that they’re grown, but I wasn’t doing a great job at it. This audiobook made me pause and think about how I talk to them, especially when they don’t ask for advice. I’m working on it. This gave me a place to start.

I listened to this audiobook because I was feeling lost. My kids are grown now, but I still worry, give advice, and sometimes get hurt when they don’t listen or need space. This audiobook helped me so much. I learned how to respect their choices while still being a parent they can count on. This audiobook made me feel seen and gave me simple steps that actually work. I’m so glad I listened to it.
