Most parents have some anxiety about the day they'll finally have to allow their children to leave the nest and enter the real world. Most of us just want to protect our sons and daughters forever! But in reality, adulthood is inevitable and we parents have so many opportunities to teach and mold our kids while they're young.


In this episode, we address logistical aspects of preparing for adulthood like teaching cooking and financial skills, as well as the tricky transition between parenting little ones and simply supporting young adult children as they make all their own choices (and face the consequences!). Audrey especially lends her expertise as a mom of several young adults who are succesfully making their way in the world!
