Finding Peace in the Chaos of Letting Go
Podcast Ep. 30
What happens when our children become adults—and the relationship we've known for decades changes?
In this conversation, Wendy Thomas and Jen explore the tender work of loving our adult children without trying to parent them: releasing control, trusting their choices, and allowing them the freedom to live their own journeys. But there's another journey happening at the same time—the one that belongs to us.
After years of careers, families, responsibilities, and identities shaped around being a parent, how do we rediscover who we are in this next season of life? How do we reconcile the parent we were with the grandparent we may now be, while making room for the person we are still becoming?
Because letting go isn't about loving less. Sometimes, it's about learning to love differently—and giving ourselves permission to live fully, too. And maybe that's where the peace is: not in controlling the chaos of change, but in trusting it.
The end of the episode ends with a call to action for the listener:
