Ep 4 - Rebuilding a difficult relationship with your child

In this heartfelt episode, Jackie sits down with Emma, a mum who’s navigating the emotional distance in her relationship with her 21-year-old daughter. Over the years, their connection has become strained, and Emma is searching for a way to repair the rupture and rebuild trust. Together, they explore the layers that often sit beneath relationship breakdowns — the stories we tell ourselves, the guilt we carry, and the need to feel heard. This is a raw and compassionate conversation about taking ownership, listening without defence, and showing up differently, even when it feels hard. If you’ve ever wondered how to reconnect after conflict, whether it's with your adult child, teenager or younger child, or how to be seen for the parent you are now, not who you used to be, this one will speak to you. Because healing is possible, and it starts with understanding what’s really going on beneath behaviour.
