This month’s podcast, “Balancing Independence: Supporting Without Hovering,” features a thoughtful conversation with Keith Garcia, a retired financial services executive, American Red Cross volunteer, and proud parent of two sons who served in the United States Army.

In the podcast, we break down:

• The difference between being supportive and being over-involved

• Why letting go can actually strengthen relationships

• How parents can manage their own anxiety without passing it on

• Ways to stay close emotionally while allowing space for growth

Keith brings a calm, grounded perspective shaped by both professional leadership and lived experience as a military parent. His insights offer reassurance, clarity, and practical guidance for families learning how to trust the process while staying connected.
