What if the movies you watch with your teen or young adult could actually strengthen your relationship, build confidence, and spark meaningful conversations?

In this episode of the Extraordinary Purpose Podcast, Erin and Chris share a powerful list of inspiring movies that move us—and how the deeper lessons inside these films can help parents of teens and young adults lead with more clarity, confidence, and emotional connection. From family comedies to classic underdog stories and modern blockbusters, these films reveal powerful themes around identity, resilience, vulnerability, leadership, and staying true to yourself in a noisy world.

As parents, the content we consume—and what we model for our kids—shapes how our families grow. When you become more intentional about what you watch together, movies can become a gateway for growth instead of just entertainment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why being the “gatekeeper of your mind” matters for parents and teens
• How inspiring movies help teens build confidence, resilience, and identity
• Why staying true to your North Star builds influence and leadership in your family
• How to use family movie nights to spark deeper conversations and connection
• The subtle ways your energy and authenticity shape your teen or young adult

If you’re navigating the challenges of parenting teens or young adults—whether that’s motivation, confidence, emotional distance, or identity struggles—this episode will give you a fresh, hopeful lens for how small moments can create big shifts in your family culture.
