Raising Bigs
A middle-aged mom and her twenty-something son talk about the beautiful, and sometimes complicated, relationship between parents and their young adult children. Join us as we share our journey, how we're navigating it and what we've learned along the way. We will be joined occasionally by guest experts, friends and family. This podcast's purpose is to shed a new light on things not often discussed openly, increase understanding between parents and their older kids, and bring a fresh perspective to this season of life where we find ourselves, Raising Bigs.
