MOMS OF TEENS AND ADULT KIDS — READY TO FEEL MORE CALM, CONFIDENT, AND CONNECTED AS YOU RAISE AND LAUNCH YOUR BIG KID?
Raising and launching big kid can feel like an emotional rollercoaster.
You’re trying desperately to help them be safe, happy and successful.
But so often you find that they're not taking care of themselves.
They're struggling or unhappy.
Or they're not doing what they need to do to be successful.
Meanwhile, the relationship you have with your kid is changing and it feels like loss.
You're constantly wondering: How is this all going to turn out? For them… and for me?
Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?
- I don’t know how to stop feeling anxious, irritated, or hurt.
- I want to support my child, but I don’t know how.
- I feel like I’m losing my connection with my child.
- I’ve spent so many years focused on being a mom—who am I now?
- I want to look forward to the future, but I feel stuck, uncertain, or lost.
If so, you're not alone.
I’ve worked with hundreds of moms navigating this exact stage of raising big kids and transitioning toward the empty nest, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. The mix of emotions—anxiety, frustration, sadness, and uncertainty—is completely normal.
But what if you could let go of these feelings without letting go of your child?
The Problem:
Some days, you feel calm and confident. Other days, you feel like you’re grasping at control, spinning in anxiety, or trying to figure out how to stay connected as you try to give your big kid the independence they need.
One foot is still planted in motherhood as you’ve always known it, trying to guide, protect, and support your big kid. The other is stepping into unfamiliar territory, where the rules are less clear and your role is changing.
And what you may not realize is that your brain hates uncertainty. So it works overtime trying to create safety and certainty wherever it can.
That can look like:
-
imagining worst-case scenarios
-
trying to control outcomes
-
second-guessing yourself
-
overthinking every interaction
-
comparing your child, yourself, or your family to everyone else
-
constantly trying to “get it right”
The problem is, these thought patterns don’t actually create certainty. They create more anxiety, frustration, guilt, and fear.
And because it feels like your emotions are being caused by what your big kid is doing (or not doing), it can seem like the only way to feel better is for something about them to change.
But when you can’t control the outcome, you’re left feeling stuck and powerless.
The Solution:
If you’re feeling powerless in this stage of motherhood, the answer isn’t to try harder to manage your child, their choices, or how this transition unfolds.
It’s learning where your power actually is.
Because this stage of motherhood asks something completely different of us. The tools that helped when our kids were younger don’t always work anymore, and no one hands us a roadmap for what comes next. There are fewer clear answers. We have far less control and much more uncertainty.
But imagine what would feel different if you could:
-
Trust yourself to make decisions without constantly wondering if you’re getting it wrong.
-
Know when to step in and when to step back without feeling like either choice means you’re failing them.
-
Stay close to your big kid without chasing connection, overexplaining, fixing, or holding on too tightly.
-
Stop carrying so much guilt, regret, and fear about what happened before or what might happen next.
-
Feel your emotions without being run by them so worry, sadness, and frustration don’t take over your day.
-
Let your child have their own life, choices, and struggles without making all of it mean something about you.
-
Find yourself again and begin building a life that feels meaningful and full, even as your role as a mom changes.
This is the work we do inside Mom 2.0.
