In this episode, Brian and Nicole discuss parenting adult children. They share how they've had to transition as parents in order to continue to be supportive and offer guidance while respecting their adult children's space. They reflect on the various changes and experiences adult children face for the first time in their 20s, and how the entire decade can be quite an erratic ride. They deep dive into how the corporate world is receiving GenZ as they enter the workforce, as well as the contributions Millennials and GenZ has made that have had an effect on corporate culture. Nicole shares her outlook of having an open nest vs an empty nest home, as well as her belief that the time and effort you put into your children's childhood determines how much access you'll have to them when they are adults. They also both acknowledge that communication with adult children is a 2-way street, and that parents need to continue to put in effort to stay in touch with their kids. It was a great discussion on such an important part of life for both adult children and their parents, and we hope our listeners enjoy it!
