You don't have to lose your relationship with your adult child just because they've chosen a different path
Join me for
Bridge to Connection
an in-person workshop for parents who are worried, frustrated, or anxious about their relationship with their adult child.
Thursdays, October 16, 23, 30 & November 6
7:00-8:30 pm
$125 per person or $200 per couple
Location: TBD
Our families need us to step up as strong, capable leaders - flexible, adaptable, and willing to connect with our children in ways that make sense to them, because the old ways of parenting simply don’t work anymore.
Are you worried and anxious about your adult child?
Do you see them pulling away, making choices you don't agree with, keeping secrets from you, or avoiding responsibility - and you don't know how to reach them anymore?
Maybe you've tried:
- giving advice and offering solutions
- reminding them of what you taught them
- telling them you don’t agree with their choices or lifestyle
- crying, arguing, controlling
But, instead of them changing, you're seeing them pull away and the gap is getting wider.
And now you've found yourself walking on eggshells, afraid to bring up hard topics because you're worried it will set them off or push them away for good. So, you stay quiet, hold back, and don't say what you really want to say.
Or maybe they've decided you're not a safe person to be around and told you the way you raised them was toxic, and they've cut off contact or distanced themselves from you.
At night, you lie awake, asking yourself:
- What did I do wrong?
- How do I fix this before it's too late?
- Why does everyone else's family seem to be doing better than mine?
Imagine if instead, you could...
Stop walking on eggshells and start having real, honest conversations without blowing things up.
Feel calmer and more confident in how you show up.
Love them deeply while letting go of the pressure to fix them.
Sleep at night, knowing you are doing what truly helps instead of spinning in worry.
Find peace and hope again, even if your child's choices haven't changed.
At this live, in-person workshop, you'll discover how to:
Stop pushing away your child without realizing it - and start creating a safe space where they want to connect.
Calm your own fears and anxiety so they don't take over the relationship.
Have honest conversations without walking on eggshells - so that you can say what matters without shutting your child down.
Respond instead of react when your child makes choices that scare you.
Love your child without losing your values - even when you don't agree with them.
Let go of the pressure to "fix" your child and instead focus on the powerful influence you still have.
This workshop is for parents who...
- have an adult child making choices they never expected
- feel anxious, responsible, or even ashamed of how things are going
- walk on eggshells, afraid to say the wrong thing and lose the relationship
- try hard to help, but end up feeling frustrated and pushed away
- want a closer relationship with their child but don't know how to get there

What's Included
We'll meet together in person - once a week for 90 minutes
Each session is designed to give you both practical tools and real support. You don't just learn what to do - you actually begin to live it.
Here's what you can expect each week:
Teaching
I'll walk you through powerful relationship principles that will change how you see yourself, your child, and your relationship. You'll learn exactly what helps (and what hurts) when your child is pulling away.
Coaching
You'll have the chance to bring your real-life situations, and I'll help you see what's really happening and how to respond differently.
Q & A
Ask the hard questions you've been carrying. This is your opportunity to get clarity.
Community
You'll connect with other parents who get it. You won't feel so alone anymore. Together, you'll find encouragement, understanding, and hope.
** By the end of 4 weeks, you'll not only have new insight, but you'll also have a new way of showing up as a calm, confident, and connected parent.
This Workshop is Different
This is not about getting your adult child back in line (as if this were even possible).
It's about helping you show up in a new way - one that invites connection instead of pushing them further away.
Most parenting advice for adult children is either:
Just love them and let them go.
or
It's your job to get them back on track.
Neither works.
This workshop gives you another option - one that brings more peace to you, and more connection into your family.

Your Host
Tina Gosney is a Family Conflict Coach and Family Life Educator who helps parents move from fear and frustration into grounded, confident leadership within their families.
After nearly losing her relationship with her children over a decade ago, Tina made a courageous decision: she would no longer pass down the patterns of disconnection and silence that had been repeated for generations in her family. Instead, she committed to doing the deep inner work, learning to regulate her own emotions, and showing up with compassion and clarity.
Tina knows firsthand that family relationships can bring both our deepest pain and our greatest joy. That’s why she guides parents who feel stuck—caught between guilt, fear, and old patterns—into creating a new way forward. With her warm, authentic presence and practical tools rooted in family systems work, she has supported thousands of parents in finding their voice, strengthening boundaries, and building lasting bonds with their adult children.
Her approach is grounded in authenticity, kindness, and integrity. She believes that every parent has the ability to lead with strength and compassion—and that when they do, healing flows through the entire family.
What Others Are Saying
Before I worked with Tina, I was so desperate and sad, feeling like a failure, and grasping for anything to help me and guide me. I had tried so many things before I found coaching, including therapy, and nothing really seemed to last. After we worked together, my relationships have totally changed. I know now I truly only have control over myself and my own emotions, and when I choose on purpose how I want to show up. I came to Tina for help with my child, but it has helped me so much in my marriage. I didn’t expect that! When I think about the future, I know I have the tools to progress in any relationship and I have confidence in myself.
– Heather
I have an increased clarity of what is going on inside of me and am able to show up so much better for myself and the people in my family. I have learned to face the hard circumstances in my life with increased clarity and compassion. I have learned to be more present and focus on what is in front of me with acceptance. I’ve become more comfortable with staying in connection with people I love without having to always be in agreement.
– Gina
As I have gotten older, I realized everyone can use a little help at working through relationships, emotions, and thoughts. I for one have totally benefited from Tina‘s help. Before her course I would jump to my own conclusions, let my feelings and emotions get the best of me, and hold onto negative feelings. Now I know how to acknowledge and work through my thoughts and feelings. I love how she never told me I was doing anything wrong, but simply helped me see things differently and change how I could improve my reactions.
– Christina
I came into this program at a peak time in my relationship with my daughter, where I felt it was all falling apart. It was helpful to to through the program to put things back into perspective, and stop making her behavior mean something about me. There was a lot of reframing I was doing, and it just really helped me not feel alone as I was letting go of expectation and unproductive thinking. I learned to enjoy her more as she is. Tina is very good at holding space for all the things, asking good questions, and not judging anything you bring up--very calm and loving in her approach.
