No one prepared you for how hard being the parent of adult children would be.
You need help, support, and a community that understands how hard it is.
That's why I created
Bridge to Connection
where you can work to repair relationships with your adult child in a safe community of other parents just like you.
When you don't know how to shift your role in your adult child's life...
from being the fixer and the manager, to being their supportive coach and encouraging champion...
conflict will happen and damage your relationship.
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 listening and 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 tell you that you're not a safe person to be around and that 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 in the middle of very difficult circumstances.
Through this course, you'll discover:
How you're pushing them away without realizing it, and what to do instead so that they want to connect with you.
How to 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.
Manage your own expectations of what you think "should" be happening.
Let go of the pressure to "fix" your child and instead focus on the powerful influence you still have.
This course is for parents who...
- have a difficult relationship with their adult child and don't know what to do to fix it.
- 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.

This Community is Different
This is not like those communities where you'll find adult-child bashing and get encouragement to cut your child out of your life.
This is not about manipulating your adult child into doing what you want them to do.
This community is focused on YOU, and what YOU can do to manage the big emotions you're having, while learning how to connect differently with your adult child.
Most messages to parents of adult children are:
If your child is struggling or distant, it's because you failed them.
or
They're grown now. You just have to accept it and move on.
These messages just cause more shame.
This community gives you another option - one that brings more peace to you, and more connection into your family.
Our families need for us to step up as strong and flexible leaders who model integrity and goodness. The old ways of parenting don't work anymore because our children (especially adult children) do not respond to them.
Our first step is to learn how to respond differently.

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.

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.
