Motherhood Doesn’t End When They Grow Up
For moms who want to support their adult child—but aren't always sure how to best help.
There comes a point where you realize your role is changing.
You want your son or daughter to move forward with confidence, direction, and purpose… but you may not know how to guide them without pushing too hard, worrying constantly, or feeling emotionally exhausted yourself.
I work with young adults to help them to step confidently into adulthood with a plan, while creating a calmer, more connected relationship for you both.
I also work with Moms to support them through the challenges, transitions, and opportunities that come with raising young adults.

Gain support during a season that can feel overwhelming
Parenting young adults is harder than you expected...
You thought by now your child would have direction.
More confidence.
More independence.
Instead, you’re unsure how much to step in… or step back.
Every conversation about their future feels like you're walking on eggshells.
And, you’re left wondering…
-
Will they be able to support themselves?
-
Will they find their way?
-
Will we stay connected as our relationship changes?
Frankly, this stage in your life can feel emotionally exhausting as you wonder whether you're helping too much, not enough, or somehow getting it wrong altogether.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Take this quick checklist quiz to see where your child may need support—and what your next step could be.
You feel at ease knowing your adult child is moving forward with confidence, direction, and a clear plan.
You’re able to build a respectful and confident adult-to-adult relationship with your grown child.
You feel clear and confident about what’s next for your own life as your children become independent.
I've been where you are...
…and I know how hard it can be to watch your young adult struggle while
wondering how much to help, what to say, or whether you’re doing enough.
Your young adult isn’t broken — and neither is your relationship.
What may look like resistance, lack of motivation, or uncertainty is often
something deeper...fear of failing, making the wrong choice, disappointing others, or not feeling
capable enough.
And when fear quietly takes over, many young adults become stuck, they withdraw.
But with the right support, they can begin to move forward with more
confidence, clarity, and a plan.
They can…
-
Believe in themselves again
-
Start making more confident decisions
-
Discover goals they feel excited about
-
Create a clearer path forward
And you can…
-
Stop second-guessing yourself
-
Feel confident stepping back
-
Worry less about their future
-
Trust that they’re going to be okay
As a mom of both a grown son and daughter, I understand how emotional, uncertain, and complex this stage of parenting can be.
And through my work with many young adults over the years, I’ve seen what becomes possible when they are given the space, support, and guidance to work through what’s holding them back and begin moving forward in a meaningful way.
What Parents and Young Adults Have Said...
Through her work with Connie, Eris has gained confidence and assertiveness. She is not reluctant to follow her instincts. She trusts herself more. In her time with Connie, Eris founded and led her high school’s Social Justice Club, co-led her high school’s Vinyl Club, decided on a college major, applied and was accepted to her university of choice. Eris has become a person of action and a young leader.
It is difficult to be a parent of a teenager, and at the same time coach them objectively – and especially with no training or education in coaching young people. Connie is objective and professional. Connie’s education and leadership experience makes her an ideal coach for young women.

Discovering more about myself through crafts such as the “Me” Poster. Developing better conversational/social skills (i.e. expressing my ideas confidently rather than remaining quiet, embracing any awkward silence and working my way through it).
“My coach encourages and pushes me to accomplish tasks that would later benefit me; she supports along the whole process and watches over my progress”
-Sabrina
We are currently working together to help my daughter find her path to success in high school and beyond. She is becoming more aware of the ability to steer her own future with her own efforts. This was not something she was aware of prior to starting her sessions with Connie.
I have had the opportunity to work with Connie to develop my own interests as well. As a mom, I have the tendency to push back my own desires for “Daring to be great”..But, Connie has helped me understand that it is critical for my happiness to continue working on my own interests and dreams. It is also the only path to happiness as a busy mom and aspiring writer.
