About Extraordinary Purpose

Parenting a teen or young adult can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected, and scared about your child’s future. Maybe they’re struggling with motivation, confidence, friendships, school, distractions, or direction. And somewhere in the process of worrying about who they’re becoming, you may have lost touch with who you are becoming too. The Extraordinary Purpose Podcast helps parents of teens and young adults become their best so they can confidently lead, support, and connect with their children and family. Hosted by Erin Verdis and Chris Adang, founders of Extraordinary Purpose, life coaches for teens, young adults, college students, and parents, and parents of four, each episode combines professional coaching experience with honest parent-to-parent conversations and practical strategies for real life. But this isn’t another podcast about fixing your child. We go below the surface. Behind struggles with motivation, confidence, school, relationships, technology, or direction, there’s often something deeper happening with identity, connection, purpose, habits, and the person your child is becoming. And we believe parents are still becoming too. That’s why we help you work on both sides of the relationship: becoming the parent and person you want to be while creating the environment for your child to become more of who they’re capable of being. You’ll learn how to: • Communicate with greater trust and connection • Help an unmotivated teen, college student, or young adult find confidence and direction • Build resilience, healthy habits, and essential life skills • Help your child discover their values, interests, identity, purpose, and direction • Navigate high school, college, relationships, technology, and early adulthood • Set healthy boundaries while strengthening your relationship • Become a calmer, more confident and intentional parent • Build a family culture rooted in growth, connection, and purpose Whether you’re raising a teenager, supporting a college student, or helping a young adult find their way, each episode gives you practical tools and a new perspective to help you become your best, strengthen your relationship, and lead your family forward. 🎧 New episodes every week.
