How a life coach for young adults can ignite confidence, purpose, and direction

As parents, we want so much for our kids. We want them to thrive, to believe in themselves, and to navigate this complicated world with clarity and strength. But what happens when they feel lost, unmotivated, or unsure of who they are?

In the latest episode of the Extraordinary Purpose Podcast, Erin and Chris speak directly to young adults—but this blog is for you, the parent. Because what they shared is something every parent needs to hear: why having a life coach for young adults can change everything.

This Isn’t Therapy—It’s Empowerment

Life coaching is not about diagnosing problems or digging through trauma. It's about helping your young adult discover who they are, what they want, and how to move toward it—right now.

Erin and Chris describe coaching as an experience, a journey that helps young adults tap into their natural gifts and start living with intention. As Erin puts it, “Coaching is about helping them get from where they are to where they want to be. It’s about creating a life that aligns with their values, passions, and purpose.”

And they do it by being real. By building trust. By guiding with wisdom, compassion, and sometimes a little tough love.

Why Life Coaching for Young Adults Works

In this episode, Erin and Chris share personal stories of the paths they could have taken if someone had believed in them—or if they had believed in themselves sooner. Chris opens up about missing out on a life-changing opportunity in college because of fear. Erin reflects on how she navigated the modeling world without mentorship and how different things could have been with a life coach.

Now, as professional life coaches for young adults, they offer the kind of support they wish they had.

And it’s working. Just listen to the story of Maddie—a once-lost high school senior who had no vision for her future, and now owns a thriving full-service salon. What changed? She had a coach who saw her, believed in her, and helped her believe in herself.

“She just came to life,” Chris said. “And she did the rest.”

This Generation Needs More Than Pressure—They Need Perspective

We’re raising a generation overwhelmed with options, expectations, and information. Too often, they’re told what they “should” do—go to college, pick the right major, find a stable job—without ever being asked:
Who are you, really?
What lights you up inside?
What do you want your life to feel like?

That’s the heart of what Erin and Chris do. Through the Extraordinary Purpose Coaching Program, they help teens and young adults create a compelling vision for their future—and then build the mindset and momentum to pursue it.

This is what a life coach for young adults does:
✔ Helps them gain clarity on who they are
✔ Sparks confidence and personal responsibility
✔ Teaches emotional intelligence and resilience
✔ Connects them with habits and routines for success
✔ Guides them toward meaningful goals they actually care about

When They Believe in Themselves, Everything Changes

Here’s what Erin wants you to know: “Coaching won’t eliminate all their struggles—but it will give them the tools to bounce back, trust themselves, and move through life with courage.”

They’ll still face challenges. They’ll still make mistakes. But they’ll learn to own their story, find their voice, and become the leaders of their own lives.

That’s what the Extraordinary Purpose Coaching Program is all about.
