Description

As moms, our words carry incredible power, especially with our adult children. We never intend to hurt them, but sometimes, without realizing it, what we say can sound like guilt, criticism, or disapproval.

In this listener-favorite episode, Pamela unpacks ten common phrases that can unintentionally wound your grown kids and offers loving alternatives that build connection instead of conflict. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation wishing you’d said it differently, this episode is for you.
