Description
There's a version of motherhood nobody prepares you for: the one where your kid becomes an adult and the rules you spent twenty years mastering stop working overnight.
Pam Tronson didn't sign up for this. She built her whole coaching career believing she had no real wound to work from, until an email from her own adult daughter proved her wrong. What followed was a full rebuild, of the relationship, and of herself.
In this conversation, Pam and Jackie get into:
Why "having your own back" isn't the same as letting yourself off the hook
The plate-throwing story Jackie tells on herself, and why owning it changed everything with her kids
Why estrangement isn't the buzzword social media makes it out to be, and what actually predicts reconciliation
The difference between raising kids and raising adults
Why "what if nothing's gone wrong?" might be the most useful question a mom can ask herself
Pam Tronson is a certified life coach and certified mother-daughter coach who helps women rebuild connection with their adult daughters through her coaching programs and workshops. Find her at pamtronsoncoaching.com.
Pam's running a free three-day workshop starting July 29th for moms who are second-guessing themselves with an adult daughter and are ready to stop. Details can be found here.
