When you are ready to learn more about 1:1 and group coaching, contact me here for a 30-minute consultation! (Not a coaching call) Heart to Heart Consultation link: calendly.com/sallyharris-discoverycall/30min
Have you ever said no to your adult child… only to hear the words:
“I guess you just don’t love me anymore.”
For many moms, that sentence cuts straight to the heart. It triggers guilt, fear, and the overwhelming urge to prove your love by fixing the problem, sending the money, or rescuing them again.
But what if that statement isn’t really about love at all?
In this video, I walk you through four powerful insights that will help you understand what’s actually happening in that moment and how to respond without collapsing into guilt.
You’ll learn:
• Why “You don’t love me” often triggers FOG (Fear, Obligation, and Guilt)
• What your adult child may actually be communicating when they say this
• How to respond calmly instead of freezing or over-explaining
• The hard truth every mom needs to understand about love and boundaries
If you’re a mom trying to stop rescuing, stop enabling, and start standing steady in your relationship with your adult child, this conversation will give you clarity and encouragement.
🌿 RISE Retreat – April 24–25 (Florida)
If you’ve been watching my videos but haven’t taken a step in person yet, this might be your moment.
The RISE Retreat is a two-day experience designed for moms who are ready to rebuild their strength, clarity, and emotional steadiness when navigating difficult relationships with their adult children.
At the retreat, we focus on:
• Self-awareness
• Emotional regulation
• Letting go of guilt
• Rebuilding confidence and peace
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start healing, I would love to see you there.
