The Extraordinary Purpose Podcast: Real Conversations for Parents of Teens and Young Adults

The Extraordinary Purpose Podcast: Real Talk for Parents Who Want to Reconnect, Grow, and Feel Good Again

If you’re parenting a teen or young adult, you already know — it’s not for the faint of heart.
One day you’re laughing together, the next day you’re wondering if anything you say is getting through. Somewhere along the way, between all the responsibilities, advice, and “figuring it out,” you might have lost a little bit of you in the process.

We get it — because we’ve been there too.

That’s exactly why we created The Extraordinary Purpose Podcast  — a place where parents can breathe, reflect, and remember who they are. A place that’s honest, hopeful, and full of heart.

Every week, we (Erin and Chris) sit down — sometimes with coffee in hand, sometimes fresh from a workout or a walk with Koa — and talk about what it really takes to raise confident, grounded teens and young adults… without losing yourself in the process.

It’s About You Too, Parent.

Yes, we talk about teens — their motivation, confidence, communication, and purpose — but here’s the thing most people overlook:
The foundation of your child’s growth is you.

When you’re connected to your own dreams, goals, and joy, your energy changes everything in your home.
When you take care of your mindset, your purpose, your health, and your heart, your kids feel it.

This podcast isn’t about becoming a “perfect parent.” It’s about rediscovering your own identity — and learning how that empowers your family to grow, too.

We’ll help you:

• Reconnect with what lights you up (so you can model that passion to your teen)

• Communicate with more calm and confidence

• Rebuild closeness even when your teen pulls away

• Feel grounded and purposeful again — not just as a parent, but as you

Because when you feel good about who you are, your kids start to feel safe becoming who they are.

What Makes This Podcast Different

There’s no parenting perfection here — no judgment, no lectures, no “10 easy steps.”

We talk about the real stuff:
The moments when you question if you’re doing enough.
The guilt that sneaks in when you finally take time for yourself.
The joy of seeing your child take a small step forward — and the fear when they stumble.

We blend honest stories from our own family life (raising four kids) with the tools and rituals we teach in our coaching: morning check-ins, focus blocks, journaling wins, taking sacred space, and reconnecting with your personal purpose.

Because when you learn how to show up grounded and self-aware, everything in your family starts to shift.

Your Dreams Still Matter

Somewhere along the way, a lot of parents stop asking themselves: What do I want?
But your dreams, your passions, and your goals — they’re not extras. They’re essentials.

When you chase what makes you feel alive, your teen sees what a fulfilled adult looks like.
When you start feeling confident again, you naturally become the kind of parent who leads with love instead of fear.

This podcast is your weekly reminder that you still matter.
