Momentum Podcast with Erica Wiggenhorn
When your child pulls away, pushes back, or makes choices that break your heart, motherhood can feel like a weight of fear, guilt, and grief you carry alone. The silence at the dinner table. The text that never gets returned. The argument that erupts out of nowhere. These moments can quietly convince you that you've failed.
The Momentum Podcast is where host Erica Wiggenhorn meets moms in that painful space with honest conversation, practical tools, and biblical truth that actually holds weight in the hard moments. Drawing from her own raw experiences, current research, and her book Loving Your Wayward Child, Erica walks through the real challenges of parenting teens, young adults, and estranged children, from navigating volatile conversations to setting boundaries without severing connection.
This isn't a podcast that rushes past your pain with easy answers. It's one that helps you move closer to Jesus so He can move your family closer together, one faithful step at a time.
Momentum Podcast with Erica Wiggenhorn
When Every Conversation Turns Into a Fight
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If every conversation with your teen ends in a slammed door or dead silence, you've probably told yourself the same thing: Tomorrow will be better. And then tomorrow isn't.
You weren't trying to start a fight. You asked a simple question. And somehow you're standing in the hallway wondering how you became the person you swore you wouldn't be.
Erica names the four reactions most moms default to when conflict takes over — isolate, fixate, manipulate, vacate — and why every one of them makes things worse. Then she walks through what actually helps: a conversation technique that lowers defenses and keeps connection alive, even when your kid is acting like a stranger.
You'll learn why silence isn't the peacekeeper you think it is, why lectures only deepen the wall, and what to say when your child shares something that makes your brain short-circuit.
The friction in your house isn't failure. It's a season. But you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it alone.
