We are Steve and Julia Cummings and we are empty nesters who desire to maintain healthy relationship with our adult children. We have found that something needs to change in us, the parent, when our child becomes an adult. We need to ”pivot” from parenting, to partnering. What does that look like?

As a parent to 4 small children, having a solid relationship with my parents and in-laws is crucial. TPPP helps all parties involved! Listen listen listen!!!!
Love this Podcast. You are filling a void for people like me who want to continue to have great relationships with their children. I am learning so much & I highly recommend this to others with children who are either leaving the nest soon or are already gone.
My husband and I have 7 adult children between the two of us, and I have been listening for a week, and I can relate to this podcast . I really appreciate it!
I’ve known Steve for a while and this podcast is right what we needed. I met Steve several months ago and we’ve been sneaking a breakfast together every once in a while. It doesn’t surprise me that he is so effective and that his wife is so detailed and has such a wisdom to offer. I wish both of them the best and will listen with a lot of interest. We are shortly before being empty-nesters and need information like this to survive. I wish Steve and Julie the best with their work and expect nothi... more
I just listened to Steve and Julia and really enjoyed their take and perspective on this new phase in our lives. This is uncharted waters for my wife and me and am grateful to go through it with others. I also enjoyed their humour and transparency as they too are thick in this life adventure.
