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.

How to Loosen Your Grip Without Losing Your Mind
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you let them go to the mall, they might get kidnapped. If you let them drive to a friend's house, they might wrap the car around a tree. You can get to worst-case scenario in under three seconds, and your kid knows it. That's why they think every conversation about freedom is pointless before it starts.
Erica walks through what happened when she realized her fear wasn't protecting her kids. It was pushing them away. She breaks down why hyper-control and connection will always be at odds, and how to replace secret surveillance with something that actually builds trust: a 15-minute safety and trust conversation you can start this week.
You'll learn a four-step prayer framework for the moments when anxiety has you paralyzed, what to do when you're so overwhelmed you can't even find words to talk to God, and why the bravest thing you can do in this season might be opening your hands instead of tightening your fists.
Fear says control everything or lose them. Faith says stay close to God, stay close to your kid, and let wisdom do what white-knuckling never could.
