"Young Adult Living at Home? How to Help Them Find Direction and Purpose"

 If your young adult has moved back home, you’re not alone.
Today’s “boomerang generation” — young adults who return to the family home after college or early career experiences — is growing rapidly. Rising costs of living, a competitive job market, and the uncertainty of adult life can leave even the most capable young adult feeling stuck.

As a parent, this can stir up mixed emotions.
You want to support them — but you also want them to develop the independence, direction, and motivation they’ll need to step confidently into their future. And deep down, you know they are capable of so much more.

The Truth About This Season

When a young adult is living at home, it’s easy to see it as a setback — but it can actually be one of the most powerful opportunities in their life.

With the right support, this time can be used to:

  • Reflect on what truly matters to them and how they want to live.

  • Reconnect with their strengths, values, and passions that may have been buried under academic or work pressures.

  • Envision their ideal future — not just in career, but in lifestyle and relationships.

  • Create a practical action plan to move forward with confidence and accountability.

Why So Many Stay Stuck

Without structure and purpose, it’s easy for a young adult to:

  • Lose momentum and motivation.

  • Spend excessive time on screens or distractions.

  • Struggle with decision-making and self-discipline.

  • Drift without a clear path forward.

Months — even years — can pass without meaningful progress. This is where guidance for young adults living at home becomes critical.

How a Life Coach for Young Adults Can Help

At Extraordinary Purpose, our Life Coaching for Young Adults program is designed to be a launchpad, not a holding pattern. We provide an encouraging, structured environment where your young adult can:

  • Identify what’s important to them and why.

  • Gain clarity on career, education, and life goals.

  • Learn daily rituals that foster motivation, focus, and productivity.

  • Build independence and confidence through achievable steps.

  • Stay consistent with accountability and support from a coach who believes in them.

This isn’t about pushing them before they’re ready. It’s about equipping them with the tools, self-awareness, and plan to move forward — on their terms, with purpose.

The Parent’s Peace of Mind

When your young adult is in coaching, you’ll see them:

  • Taking ownership of their goals.

  • Making consistent progress toward independence.

  • Building the resilience to handle setbacks and challenges.

You won’t have to wonder if they’re “wasting time” — you’ll see them growing, making decisions, and moving forward.

If your young adult is living at home right now, this could be the perfect moment for them to pause, reflect, and relaunch — stronger and more focused than ever.
