EPISODE TITLE: How Parents Can Overcome Resistance and Follow Through
(Part 2 of 3) SHOW: Extraordinary Purpose Podcast HOSTS: Chris & Erin
Verdis AUDIENCE: Parents of Teens and Young Adults
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris: Movement is your friend—and this goes for anything. Whether
you’re waking up first thing in the morning, getting ready to record a
podcast, trying to go to school or work, or preparing to have a
difficult conversation. The second you commit and start to move, speak,
or take that first step toward what matters to you—that’s when you begin
to feel better.
Welcome to the Extraordinary Purpose Podcast, where we explore the real
challenges parents and families face every day. From navigating the
emotional ups and downs of parenting teens and young adults, to
strengthening your relationship with your partner, to reconnecting with
your own purpose—we bring heartfelt, honest conversations to support and
empower you.
Our mission is simple: to help you create a lifestyle filled with love,
passion, adventure, and influence.

Chris: Alright everyone, welcome back to another episode of the
Extraordinary Purpose Podcast. I’m Chris, and I’m here with Erin.
Erin: Hey everyone! How are you today?
Chris: Another winter day here in Michigan, but we’re excited to be here
with you. Last week we kicked off a 3-part series on resistance,
momentum, and identity.
Erin: So many parents reached out saying this was exactly what they
needed. Today we continue the conversation.
Chris: Resistance shows up for parents and teens alike—starting strong
and falling off, avoiding important conversations, putting off phone
calls or appointments.
Erin: Resistance is normal. Your brain is trying to protect you. But
when we stay in the resistance loop, our confidence drops.
Chris: Momentum is built when we follow through—big or small steps both
build confidence.
Erin: At the heart of this work, parents want to feel good, confident,
and present for their families.
Chris: Following through builds trust in yourself and models consistency
for your teen or young adult.
Erin: A simple evening check-in helps. Before bed, write three small
commitments for tomorrow.
Chris: Know your result, your why, and your plan. This reduces
resistance before it shows up.
Erin: When resistance shows up, pause, breathe, and take the smallest
step forward.
Chris: Movement changes your emotional state. Momentum begins with
action.
Erin: Next week we’ll bring it all together with identity—who you become
through consistent follow-through.
Chris: If you’re a parent of a teen or young adult feeling stuck, you’re
not alone. These are learnable skills.
Erin: Thank you for being here. We hope this gave you clarity and one
small step forward.
Chris: If you’d like support, schedule a discovery call. Our mission is
to help families grow with purpose—starting with you.
Erin: We’ll see you next week for Part 3.
