Becoming the Best Version of Yourself — For You and Your Family

As parents, we often want so badly for our teens and young adults to feel fulfilled, confident, and excited about their future. But what if the key to helping them step into that version of themselves... is becoming the best version of ourselves first?

In our latest episode of the Extraordinary Purpose Podcast, we opened up about what it truly means to "become"—not just for our kids, but for our own growth, happiness, and dreams.

Because here’s the truth:
👉 You are not stuck.
👉 Your child is not stuck.
👉 It’s never too late to create the life—and the family dynamic—you truly want.

💬 “Nobody is stuck. It may feel that way, but everything can change when you choose to.”

In this episode, Erin shares a deeply personal moment about letting her daughter go on a big European trip—while dealing with the emotions and guilt that came with staying behind. The decision stirred something in her. Not just as a mom, but as a woman with dreams of her own.

Instead of sitting in regret, she asked:

“If I want more experiences like this with my family… who do I need to become?”

That’s the question we want you to ask yourself today.

🛠️ The Practice of Becoming

Becoming isn’t a one-time event. It’s a daily choice to lean into the version of yourself that aligns with your values, your purpose, and the life you envision.
And it starts with:

• Getting quiet

• Getting honest

• Getting intentional

We encourage you to try this journal prompt from the episode:

📝 “If I fully became my best self… what would my life look like one year from now?”
Add: What experiences would I want to have? What would change in my family, my work, or myself?

Set a timer. Let it flow. And don’t hold back.

🌟 Why This Matters for Your Teen or Young Adult

Your growth becomes their blueprint.
Your courage gives them permission.
When they see you stop holding yourself back, something inside of them wakes up too.

Our teens and young adults are facing distractions, uncertainty, and pressure every single day. What they need isn’t more pressure—it’s guidance through example.

And when we help parents reconnect with who they are, everything in the family dynamic begins to shift.

✨ A Life-Altering Shift You Can Start Today

Start checking in with yourself before you take action, speak, or react.
Breathe. Reflect. Ask:

• “Who do I want to be in this moment?”

• “What does my best self do next?”

• “What matters most right now?”

You don’t need to be perfect. Just willing. Just a little more grounded, intentional, and aligned today than you were yesterday.
