About The Coaching Your Family Relationships Podcast

Coaching Your Family Relationships: Help for Parents of Adult Children is a podcast for parents who want a healthier, more connected relationship with their adult children, especially when that relationship has become strained, distant, or difficult. Hosted by Tina Gosney, Family Conflict Coach and Parent Educator, the podcast takes a whole-family approach to parent-adult child relationships. Rather than focusing only on what your adult child is doing, Tina helps you understand the larger relationship system: the patterns, emotional reactions, expectations, communication habits, nervous system responses, and family dynamics that influence how everyone shows up. Each episode brings family science out of the textbook and into real life, helping parents understand not only what is happening in their relationships, but why it is happening and what they can do differently. Whether your adult child has become distant, set boundaries you don’t understand, stopped communicating, or your relationship simply isn’t what you hoped it would be, this podcast will help you look at the entire relationship differently. Because changing a family relationship doesn’t always require everyone to change. Sometimes, changing the way you participate in the relationship can change the entire system.

When Your Adult Child Slowly Pulls Away: What Parents Need to Know

Published 20 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] If you tell a friend, they're likely to say, oh, she's probably just busy. Mine's the same way. And that might be true. But it doesn't really fix the ache that you're feeling. Because something that you used to have is not there anymore. And you don't know where it went. Many parents in this situation tell me they feel even sometimes a little ridiculous for being so upset. They say nothing even happened or she's fine. We're fine. Why do I feel so bad about this? Here's what I want you to hear. You may be grieving, not a death, not an estrangement, but a real change in a relationship that matters to you than almost anything else. […]
