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.

What do you do when your relationship with your adult child isn’t what you hoped it would be? In this powerful episode of The Parent Pivot Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kathy Koch to talk about the real struggles parents face—grief, distance, conflict, and conversations that don’t have easy answers. You’ll hear how to love your adult children without controlling them… how to hold onto truth without compromising… and why “being sad before you’re mad” might change everything. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or unsure of your role as a parent of adult children—this conversation will meet you right where you are and give you hope for the road ahead.
