As moms, we all know the pain of struggling to connect with our grown children. Those feelings of heartbreak, desperation, and even guilt when the relationship isn't what we hoped it would be. In this powerful episode of the Midlife Worthy Moms podcast, we dive deep into the concept of "flying monkeys" and how it relates to mending fractured bonds with our adult kids.

Remember the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz with her army of winged monkeys doing her evil bidding? Well, there's a new use of this metaphor that's extremely relevant for moms like us. "Flying monkeys" now refers to well-meaning friends and family members who get in the middle of our conflicts with our grown children, often making things worse despite their good intentions.

As someone who has personally experienced the damage flying monkeys can inflict, even unintentionally, I want to arm you with the knowledge to avoid these painful situations. We'll explore the difference between people who deliberately intervene on your behalf to criticize your child or make them feel guilty, and those who accidentally get sucked into the drama out of a desire to help.

Tune in and learn what you can do to promote healing in your mother-child relationship.
