S1 Ep 231Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here's What Happened Last Night

Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy. We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London. Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and talk to our kids separately. To find out what's going on and ask how they feel. Our results were poles apart. Here's what happened. We love you.

S1 Ep 219'How ARE you?' Do you really want to know or shall I lie? – The Marriage Diaries

How ARE you? Answering the question that every struggling person dreads This week, we discuss what happened at a recent family funeral. Whether you should tell the truth when someone asks how you are. And if not, WHY not? At the end of the podcast, Liz also shares a reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with loss of any kind, I think my book will help you ❤️ Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special. My heart beats with yours.
