About this episode
Today’s episode is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on this podcast because it's touches every single parent, whether your adult child is struggling or not. We all have to come to face to face with this hard truth.That's why this is called the dirtiest word in parenting. There's a few contenders which my lovely guest and I discuss, but this one, this one is big. My guest today is Catherine Hickem, and before I tell you anything else about her credentials, she is the real deal and she's original - which for me speaks volumes - and there is an ounce of fluff in what she says. You'll discover quickly that Catherine knows a lot about parenting adult children. As for her qualifications, Catherine is a licensed clinical social worker, seasoned psychotherapist, executive coach, and the founder of Parenting Adult Children Today. For more than 40 years, Catherine has helped families navigate complex relationships with clarity and purpose. Catherine also has a new book coming out in 2026 called It’s Never Too Late to Be a Great Parent.This is a powerful conversation with powerful perspectives and no nonsense advice that will change the way you relate to your adult child forever.Please remember to share this episode with another parent - any parent - and of course hit the subscribe button so you never miss an episode.I am grateful that you listen to LAUNCH and would love to hear from you. 💻 Shari's Parenting Course is now OPEN! “Journey to Independence: A Step-by-Step Roadmap to Guiding and Launching Your Adult Child.” For more information and where to sign up, visit: https://parentingfx.com/parentingcourseDo you want to know if your adult child is struggling with Failure to Launch?
