Kendall L. Williams, Author, Reclaiming Your Identity & Podcast Host, Mum's True Tea

Parents and their adult children are a topic I've been reading a lot about lately. In particular, parents who aren't letting go and continuing to make decisions for their adult kids that they should make for themselves. Then there's a second dynamic, adult children who are not just separating in a healthy way, but are disconnecting, leaving some parents confused and looking for answers.

Please welcome to our show Kendall L. Williams, author of "Reclaiming Your Identity," and host of the Mum's True Tea Podcast. Her focus: helping moms reclaim who they were before kids, and finding the balance between being a guiding parent or an overbearing one.  Some children have chosen to completely cut off communication, leaving with many parents in a panic, and she talks about how to handle this, too. In other words, parents need to let go.

Kendall said there's a variety of reasons for this recent dynamic, including social media influence and a culture of disrespect that's been tolerated. But was there trauma in the household that continued without resolve? Did parents get trapped into the "everybody gets a trophy" mindset? Either way, it seems to have become an issue with many millennial and Gen Z kids and their parents, and Kendall says there are ways to deal with it so both kids and parents can feel safe again to communicate with respect.

Please find my full interview with Kendall on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends to this important conversation. Whether you're dealing with this or know someone who is, as a parent, we can all benefit from this discussion. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.
