We’re Erin & Chris. And We Know How Hard It Is to Watch Your Child Struggle.
Â
We’re parents of four, too. We know what it’s like to worry, question what to do, and wonder if you’re actually helping.
For more than 20 years combined, we’ve helped teens, young adults, parents, and families build confidence, find direction, and move forward.
And through our work and our own family, we’ve learned something important:
Lasting change rarely comes from pushing harder or having all the answers.
It starts by helping young people discover who they are, what matters to them, and how to lead their own lives.
That belief is at the heart of Extraordinary Purpose.

✔ They seem stuck, unmotivated, or unsure what’s next
✔ Their confidence is slipping or they’re struggling to find where they belong
âś” Stress, distractions, or unhealthy patterns keep getting in the way
✔ They’re uncertain about school, college, career, or their future
✔ You’re wondering when to step in, when to step back, and how to help
You’ve encouraged them. Given advice. Given them space.
And sometimes, you just don’t know what else to do.
We understand.
Sometimes young people need someone outside of the family who can listen, ask the right questions, and help them discover who they are, what they want, and how to move forward for themselves.
That’s where we can help.Â
Schedule Your Discovery CallThe Extraordinary Purpose Framework
Lasting change starts from the inside out.
We help teens and young adults discover who they are, find their direction, and learn how to lead their own lives.
Because when young people understand who they are and what matters to them, they’re better able to make decisions, take meaningful action, and move forward with confidence.
Pillar 1: Self-Discovery & Identity
Discover who you are.
Explore your values, strengths, passions, interests, and what matters most so you can better understand yourself, build confidence, and make choices that are right for you.
Know yourself. Find your path, your people, and your purpose.
Â
Pillar 2: Direction & Purpose
Explore what’s possible. Find a direction that feels like yours.
Turn what you’re learning about yourself into meaningful goals, college and career direction, and a clearer path forward.
You don’t need your whole future figured out. You just need enough clarity to take the next meaningful step.
Explore how teens and young adults find purpose and direction →
Pillar 3: Action & Ownership

TEEN COACHING
"I Actually Believe in Myself Now."
Before coaching, I felt stuck and didn't have much confidence. Through this process, I've learned who I am, what matters to me, and how to take action even when I don't feel motivated. I feel more confident, focused, and excited about my future.
TEEN COACHING
"I'm Finally Moving Forward."
I used to spend most of my time on my phone and had no real direction. Coaching helped me build better habits, set goals, and start following through. I feel more in control of my life and a lot more optimistic about what's ahead.
YOUNG ADULT COACHING
"For the First Time, I Have a Clear Direction."
I felt completely lost after high school and wasn't sure what I wanted. Coaching helped me discover my strengths, clarify my goals, and create a plan that actually feels meaningful. I finally feel like I'm moving toward something.
YOUNG ADULT COACHING
"This Changed the Way I See Myself."
I came into coaching feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of who I wanted to become. Today, I have more confidence, healthier routines, and a clearer vision for my future than I ever thought possible.
PARENT COACHING
"We Have Our Son Back."
The communication in our home is completely different. Instead of constant tension and frustration, we have more connection, trust, and understanding. Watching our son grow in confidence and direction has been incredible.
PARENT COACHING
"The Best Investment We've Made for Our Family."
Our daughter was struggling with confidence, motivation, and direction. Through coaching, she has become more responsible, engaged, and hopeful about her future. Just as importantly, we've learned how to support her in a healthier and more connected way.
This Could Be the Turning Point Your Family Needs
If you’re here because you’re worried about your child, we understand.

Sometimes, that shift starts with one conversation.
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and help you decide what feels right for your child and your family.
