How to Reconnect With Your Teen or Young Adult (Before It’s Too Late)

If it feels like you’re losing connection… you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong.
This stage just requires a different approach.

Join Erin Verdis and Chris Adang—life coaches, parents of four teens, and founders of Extraordinary Purpose—for a live, heartfelt masterclass designed specifically for parents of teens and young adults.

In this experience, you’ll learn how to:

• Rebuild connection without pushing them further away
• Shift from control to influence (what actually works)
• Create emotional safety so they want to open up
• Lead your family with calm, clarity, and confidence

This isn’t about more parenting tactics…
It’s about becoming the parent they naturally respond to.
