Are you constantly reaching out to your adult child… and feeling like it’s only making things worse?
If you’re texting, calling, apologizing, and trying to fix the relationship — but still feeling ignored, rejected, or disrespected — this video will help you understand why.
In this episode, I’m walking you through what’s really happening when you “chase” your adult child… and why stepping back may actually be the most powerful thing you can do.
This is not about giving up.
This is about shifting the dynamic — and reclaiming your peace, your strength, and your self-respect.
In this video, we cover:
Why chasing sends a message you don’t intend to send
The hidden shift from love → need (and why it matters)
Why you cannot want the relationship more than your child does
The psychological shift that happens when you stop chasing
What respect from an adult child actually looks like
One simple step to start putting yourself back at the center of your life
💛 If this spoke to you, here are your next steps:
➡️ Join me at the RISE Retreat (Utah – June 12–13)
A powerful 1.5-day experience where you’ll be surrounded by moms who truly understand what you’re going through.
You’ll walk away with clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of peace in your role as a mom.
Spots are limited and filling quickly.

➡️ Book a Heart-to-Heart Consultation
A guided call to help you find clarity and direction in your healing process.
(This is not a coaching session — it’s a next-step conversation to see what support is right for you.)

🙏 A reminder for you today:
You are not giving up on your child.

And when you begin to respect yourself first…
you may be surprised by what starts to change.
