The Parenting Adult Children Today program has been helpful in calming my emotional reactiveness, by learning what unconditional love looks like, and by gaining hope that I do have agency in how I live my life. I have been able to let go of what I have no control of in my adult children's life, and to give them the parental respect and confidence that they seek.The investment has been a life changer and I highly recommend the program.

Finding PACT has changed our lives
Finding PACT has changed our lives. After the catastrophic estrangement of 2 adult children, we were confused, hurt and like boat without a sail. Months of deep mourning and no relief! I had tried counseling, zoom groups, support on-line without help. Then I found Catherine Hickem. Her clear message sounded like a light in the darkness. Starting this coaching has been stabilizing and taken out the wandering! We now see a path forward and although it’s no magic bullet to get our connection back with our adult kids, it sure is improving how we as their parents are showing up!
Thank you Catherine for visioning this exceptional support. We realize we are in upper level class again and we are becoming the best people for ourselves and our community!

The insight we gain
Since I’ve joined PACT I’ve been so impressed with this Program and the really important insights we learn about human behavior and more significantly, our behavior. Each webinar and module is so well done and if we are really open to curiosity and love and learning, a new world starts to open. I’m so glad to be a part of this community and its impact is already felt in my life 😊

I joined the PACT community in July…
I joined the PACT community in July during a very difficult season in my life. At the time, my son-in-law was slowly isolating my youngest daughter and their girls from the rest of our family, including her sisters. We have always been an extremely close-knit family, and suddenly weeks would pass without a phone call or text. My calls and messages often went unanswered. My other two daughters and I were deeply worried.
Since then, not much has changed externally, although communication has become a little more open. What has changed dramatically is what has happened within me.
Through PACT, I have learned how to pause before going down the rabbit hole of creating painful stories in my mind. I have shared what I have learned with other family members, and it has helped them as well. I am learning that I am not responsible for, nor am I in control of, my adult children. The community and modules have helped me let go of my fears and trust all three of my daughters to live their own lives and walk their own paths.
I am also learning that not everything is about me. Each of my daughters has her own journey, and my role is to pause, love unconditionally, listen without judgment, remain authentic, and resist the urge to overreact by "writing the story."
This community has changed every relationship and aspect of my life. I am more intentional with my words and actions. I am living from a place of peace instead of a constant state of anxiety, fear, and "what ifs."
The greatest change has come from within me. Through that change, I can now see subtle shifts in our family dynamics, and those shifts have given me hope.
There are truly no words to express how grateful I am that God laid it upon Catherine's heart to create this community. It has been a gift not only to me, but to my entire family.

Excellent Program Worth the Investment in Money and Time
II gave this program 5 stars because, I found this more valuable than the many counseling sessions I have had over the past few years.
I am new to the program, and continue to become more familiar with navigating within the site to all the available programs and sessions created to gain knowledge and understanding of how to deal with my adult children.
You can go at your own pace and this works for me.

Seeing the impact this company has on…
Seeing the impact this company has on my own life but the lives of so many other parents is inspirational and motivational. It's more than doing the work it a community of parents wanting something better for themselves. Proud to be apart of this movement of bringing families together!
