Description
Tune in as empty-nesting mom, Sonja, and her adulting daughter, Julia, discuss what it takes to have healthy, faithful relationships with your teens all the way into their adult years: sending them into the world to get a job and/or go to college, supporting them in the dating + marriage seasons, respecting them when you disagree with their choices, and thriving in the “dreaded” empty nesting years. Join the conversation as we pick a life moment and talk about why it already matters and how we can take it to the next level with actionable purpose and true joy… even when it’s hard.
