• #49: Is Parental Estrangement Permanent? One Mother's Healing Journey

  Parental estrangement is one of the most painful and complex experiences a parent can go through, especially when an adult child goes no contact. It’s a situation filled with unanswered questions, shame, guilt, and the aching silence of disconnection.In this follow-up episode, we reconnect with a mother who previously shared her personal experience with estrangement from her adult children. This time, she returns with an update, but we’re not here to give away the ending. Instead, we talk about what happens when a parent chooses to do the inner work; the self-reflection, the healing from childhood wounds and the growth. If you’re struggling with estrangement from your adult child, wondering if things will ever change, or questioning whether all your effort makes a difference, this conversation is for you.To Watch the Video version on YouTube, click HERETo contact my guest Crystal Allon:Intensive Healing CoachEmail: [email protected]://snipfeed.co/crystalclear-coachingTo order Crystal's 14 page e-book, Understanding Estrangement - A Workbook for Parents, click HERERemember to enter the coupon code: LAUNCH50 for 50% OFFPlease hit the follow button so you never miss an episode and share this with a parent who needs to hear it.Thank you for listening!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------💻 The Waitlist for my Parenting Course is open. “Journey to Independence: A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Guiding and Launching Your Adult Child.” For more information and where to sign up, visit: https://parentingfx.com/pages/the-parenting-course 🪺Early Bird Discounts will be Offered to Anyone on the Waitlist ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you want to know if your adult child is struggling with Failure to Launch?

• #47 How Harmful is Loneliness and Isolation for Kids’ Mental Health? You'll Be Shocked to Discover

  Isolation has quietly become one of the most serious threats to young adults today. In this episode, I’m joined by author and speaker Elaine Uskoski to talk about how loneliness and social disconnection are impacting kids today.The U.S. Surgeon General recently declared loneliness a public health crisis, warning that social isolation can raise the risk of depression, addiction, heart disease, dementia, and even premature death. But for many young adults, spending hours alone in their room - gaming, streaming, or scrolling -  has replaced real-life connection and the impact runs deeper than you know.Elaine’s recent blog post, “How Isolation Can Breed Gaming Addiction: The Rat Park Experiment,” brings this into sharp focus, and in Episode 22, I also talked about the powerful Rat Park study, which showed that social connection and environmental stimulation are essential to our well-being.  Both speak to the same truth: when a young person lacks real connection, they’ll search for it elsewhere,  and too often, that ‘elsewhere’ becomes a dark place of addiction and depression. If you know a young adult who’s withdrawn, disengaged, struggling to connect, and spending too much time alone in their room, online gaming, scrolling social media or watching videos this episode will be a wake-up call.How to reach Elaine:Email: [email protected]: https://eyespyhealth.ca/Elaine's Blog Post:https://eyespyhealth.ca/how-isolation-can-breed-gaming-addiction-the-rat-park-experiment-t/Elaine's Book (mentioned in the episode):Cyber Sober: A Caregiver’s Guide to Video Gaming Addiction - https://eyespyhealth.ca/cyber-sober/Thank you for listening!💻 The Waitlist for my Parenting Course is open. “Journey to Independence: A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Guiding and Launching Your Adult Child.” For more information and where to sign up, visit: https://parentingfx.com/pages/the-parenting-course 🪺Early Bird Discounts will be Offered to Anyone on the Waitlist ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Do you want to know if your adult child is struggling with Failure to Launch?
