The Parent Pivot PodcastAuthor: Steve and Julia Cummings
We are Steve and Julia Cummings and we are empty nesters who desire to maintain healthy relationship with our adult children. We have found that something needs to change in us, the parent, when our child becomes an adult. We need to pivot from parenting, to partnering. What does that look like? When do I say something and when do I not? Why wont they listen to me? We address these questions and host more in a real, raw an vulnerable way in real time. Tune in each week as we help you become a partner to your adult children.

Seen, Not Controlled: The Secret to Staying Close to Your Adult Child”
Episode 163
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
Most parents don’t lose connection with their adult children because they stopped loving them. They lose connection because they won’t stop trying to control them. In this episode of The Parent Pivot Podcast, we sit down with Miriam Groom, Founder & CEO of Mindful Career, to unpack one of the biggest tensions parents face: How do you let go without losing your relationship? We talk about what your adult child actually needs from you right now—and it’s probably not advice. It’s being seen. It’s curiosity. It’s learning how to stay connected without controlling the outcome. If you’ve ever felt the tension of wanting to guide your kids - but not push them away - this episode will change how you show up—starting today. Resources mentioned on today's podcast: 1.
