When Your Adult Child Isn't Who You Hoped They'd Be//When Your Adult Child Isn’t Who You Hoped They’d Be
Every mom has dreams for her children—but what happens when those dreams are shattered? Maybe your son or daughter has chosen a destructive path, is distant and cold, or is caught in the grip of addiction. It’s heartbreaking, and it can leave you questioning yourself as a mother.
In this video, I’ll walk you through:
How to grieve the child you imagined without giving up hope

Why addiction changes the person you’re dealing with (you’re not facing your child—you’re facing the substance)

How to separate their choices from your worth as a mom

The shift that brings healing: focusing on who you are becoming

✨ If this is your story, you don’t have to walk it alone. I invite you to schedule a private discovery call with me, where we’ll talk through the kind of support that can bring peace, clarity, and strength.
💡 And if you’re ready for deeper encouragement, join us at the RISE Retreat this October. Two days of teaching, connection, and hope—surrounded by other moms who truly understand.
💬 If you’re tired of carrying this burden alone, you don’t have to anymore.
