Ep 106: The Two Sides of Validation: Why One Pushes Them Away, And The Other Draws Them Closer
Feeling like you're walking on eggshells with your grown children? Constantly wondering if you were a "good enough" mom? In this eye-opening episode, Kim reveals the hidden truth about validation that most moms miss completely.
There are two sides to validation - one that pushes your adult children away and another that creates the deep connection you've been craving. Kim shares why seeking validation from your grown kids is actually damaging your relationship and introduces a powerful alternative that transforms how they respond to you.
Through personal stories and practical insights, you'll discover how to stop being your child's emotional caretaker and start being their safe space instead. This isn't about giving up your needs - it's about meeting them in a way that actually works.
Perfect for empty nest moms ready to rebuild authentic connections with their adult children.
