Ever walk away from a conversation with your adult child thinking, âWell⊠I blew that.â? Yeah, us too. ðââïž
In this deeply personal episode, Deena & Christina get vulnerable about some recent parenting moments that didnât go as planned and how God used them not to shame, but to gently show how He parents us.
From mom guilt to emotional landmines and the tug-of-war between truth and tenderness, weâre digging into the junk drawer of what it looks like to parent adult children through Godâs grace⊠even when weâre still healing ourselves.
Weâre not here to hand out parenting advice. Weâre here to hold space, remind you that youâre not alone, and maybe even help you take a deep breath today. ð
 ðïž Key Takeaways from Episode 24:
ð©· Real talk on what it feels like to mess up with your grown kids
ð Not every phone call with your adult child needs to turn into a sermon or a lecture about what they "need "to do.
ð Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is: âHow can I support you right now?â
ð©·Your own healing journey can unintentionally create unrealistic expectations for your kids.
ð Mom guilt is real, but so is God's gentle correction and grace.
ð The emotional cost of parenting from exhaustion and how to shift it.ð Being their safe space is more important than being right.
ð God is still parenting us and using our mistakes to mold us into more compassionate moms.
