BYU Women’s Conference – May 2025: Keeping a Strong Bond with Adult Children

In this special episode of Midlife with Brooke, Brooke Oniki shares her impactful presentation from BYU Women’s Conference 2025 on a topic close to many hearts: how to nurture and strengthen your relationship with your adult children.

Drawing on her experience as a faith-based life coach, mother of four adult children, and disciple of Jesus Christ, Brooke offers both spiritual insight and boots-on-the-ground strategies to help you love more deeply, set boundaries with grace, and stop letting fear or comparison get in the way of meaningful connection.

You’ll learn:

• How to love your children—and their choices—without condition or scorekeeping
• Why honoring agency is key to trust and long-term influence
• What it looks like to create healthy, loving boundaries (without guilt!)
• How to stop parenting from fear and start living from faith
• Encouragement for “getting it wrong” and trying again with humility

From real client stories to scriptural guidance and wisdom from church leaders, Brooke invites you to step into a calmer, more connected season of motherhood.

Key Principles Discussed:

1. Love Them – Practice non-conditional, Christlike love even when your children’s lives look different than yours.
2. Honor Agency – Trust that God is working in your children’s lives—even when the path isn’t clear to you.
3. Create Loving Boundaries – Learn to say “yes” and “no” from a place of wholeness, not worry.
4. Let Go of Fear – Anchor yourself in hope, faith, and the Savior’s promise that “all will be well.”

Inspired Call to Action:

Whether you’re navigating faith differences, tricky in-law dynamics, or just the growing pains of parenting adults—Brooke reminds you that it’s never too late to try again with love, humility, and grace.
