DEEP DIVE: Kelly Corrigan on Letting Big Kids Go

18 Aug 2025 · 43 min

What does it mean to parent grown children? How can we embrace those changing relationships? Kelly Corrigan, host of "Kelly Corrigan Wonders", four-time New York Times bestselling author, and the host of PBS’ long-form interview show Tell Me More, talks with Amy about the process of letting our big kids go.

Kelly and Amy discuss:

• why the thing our older kids might most want to hear from us is, simply, "I know" • why mothers and fathers might get different versions of the same stories from their kids • Kelly's top advice for younger parents
