• #17: How Your Trauma Affects Your Children and What You Can Do to Break the Cycle

  Have you ever stopped to ask yourself how your own childhood is showing up in your parenting ?In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about something many parents never pause to consider: the lingering effects of your own unhealed childhood trauma—and how it can quietly impact your relationship with your child, no matter how old they are.You’ll learn what trauma really looks like (and it shows up in different ways), how to recognize it in yourself, in the way you were parented, and how those unresolved patterns can unintentionally shape your child, and impact your relationship. Even if you love your kids deeply, trauma that goes unacknowledged can lead to distance, miscommunication, and negative cycles that repeat across generations.We’ll talk about the subtle ways these patterns show up and more importantly, we’ll cover what it takes to break that cycle and start showing up differently—as the emotionally stable parent your child can trust and connect with.Because let’s be honest—parenting doesn’t end at 18. Your child still needs you. To be strong. To be steady. And to support them, with love and self-awareness, till your very last breath.You have the power to change the legacy. It’s never too late to become the parent your child deserves.__________________Making a few adjustments by effectively expressing your expectations, personal boundaries and “what you’re willing to tolerate” will be exactly what you need to do to help your adult child mature, and to build a healthier, more enjoyable relationship.Click the link below to check out this 60 minute Parenting workshop.

• #16: Parental Estrangement: When Your Adult Child Goes No Contact - An Estranged Parent Shares Her Personal Story

  For anyone who prefers watching interviews,  you'll find it on Shari's youtube channel: Click here: https://youtu.be/TG35c5LsKtA?si=wYiBzElWmTdAicXwFew things are more painful than Parental Estrangement—when your adult child intentionally limits or cuts off contact, leaving you heartbroken, confused, and searching for answers.  The silence is deafening, the questions feel endless, and the pain can be unbearable. Why does this happen? Can the relationship be repaired? And if not, how do you cope and move forward? Parental estrangement occurs when an adult child chooses to have no contact with their parent. This decision is often rooted in unresolved conflicts, emotional pain, and their need for boundaries and healing. Estrangement can be temporary or permanent and may involve silence, avoidance, or rejection of attempts to reconnect. For parents, it can be an overwhelming experience, leading to feelings of grief, guilt, and confusion. While reconciliation is sometimes possible, healing often begins with self-reflection, taking accountability, and focusing on personal growth. In this deeply personal and fully transparent episode, I sit down with Crystal Allon, a mother who has experienced estrangement firsthand. Now, she offers support and guidance to other parents facing the same pain, helping them navigate their emotions and work towards transformation through self-awareness.   We explore:🔹 Why adult children choose to go no contact 🔹How to shift from grief and confusion to self-reflection and healing 🔹How to find peace, even if reconciliation isn’t an immediate option 🔹The role and impact of Generational Trauma 🔹How to approach this if you are a Grandparent If you or someone you know is struggling with parental estrangement, this episode offers insight, encouragement, and suggestions to help you move forward. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact Shari Jonas at: [email protected] your free Failure to Launch Checklist, go to: https://sharijonaslifefx.com/pages/ftl-checklist For a complimentary 15 minute consultation, email: [email protected] Feel free to subscribe to LAUNCH so you never miss an episode!
