Send us Fan Mail
Are you ready to discover how you can prepare your adult child for life? 
My amazing guest today is Dr. Jenny Prohaska, a clinical psychologist who works with SWAT teams and other high-risk professionals before and after critical incidents, where independence, decision-making, emotional regulation and the ability to function under pressure are non-negotiable.
Her work has tremendous relevance for parents who are worried about their adult children and want them to develop the skills to manage life on their own. Today, we're talking about Dr. Jenny’s six core elements of anti-fragility, what they look like in everyday life, and, most importantly, that you can help them learn how they can handle challenges, build confidence and move forward.
Be mindful of that word: anti-fragile, because I believe that's what is missing in many young adults who are struggling to move forward.  
By the time this episode is done, you'll hear some fascinating insights and learn practical suggestions that you can begin applying with your adult child starting today.
I know this episode is going to be one of your favorites, so please listen right to the end because Dr. Jenny's knowledge is absolutely worth your time.

When parents tell me their adult child has no motivation, my next question is always: Do they use cannabis? In this episode, my guest Dr. Frank reveals the truth about cannabis use, cannabis addiction, and the life-changing benefits of quitting.
Dr. Frank is a chiropractic physician, a certified addiction peer recovery coach, and the founder of Addiction Mindset. He doesn't just know about cannabis, he lived through a serious addiction. It was only after a serious health scare that Dr. Frank decided it was enough. He also knew how much better his life could be, even though he was already successful. 
Today, he has helped thousands of people break the habit.
This episode is for parents of young adults who regularly use cannabis, and for young adults themselves who are ready to take an honest look at their addiction, break the habit for good and significantly improve the quality of their life.

Today’s episode is a topic that almost every parent with an adult child who is not moving forward needs to hear, which is why I want to talk about it. And yes, it’s just me.
This is by far one of the hardest conversations you'll ever have. 

Sitting down with your adult child to talk about the way they've been living and that it can no longer continue makes parents very uncomfortable because of the reactions they know they’re going to get. 
But you can’t avoid this discussion any longer. Or perhaps, it’s time to revisit it again, only differently. 

I’ll share what you shouldn’t say and what you can say that will help set things in motion. I’ll be honest, this conversation is only the beginning. The follow through is where the work begins. 

If you feel you need help, let’s do this together. With your adult child, too. Reach out. I’m easy to find and easier to talk to.

In this episode of LAUNCH, I’m joined by Thomas Miller, a licenced clinical social worker with 20 years experience working with families, to explore ADHD in young adults and how parents can help their adult children navigate some of the day to day struggles that come with it.
Thomas shares practical tips to help parents understand these challenges, create a greater sense of urgency, overcome procrastination and support their adult child, especially when anxiety and addiction are involved. 
We discuss what parents can do when their adult child has difficulty getting started, particularly with tasks they find uninteresting or unmotivating.
This episode offers valuable insights into understanding ADHD and helping your adult child more productive with their time.

How many times have you tried to make changes with your adult child but could never follow through? Something would happen and you'd back down. You had the best intentions, your mind was made up, but you couldn't deal with their reaction, and you buckled. 
After speaking with many parents, there are 3 concerns that come up repeatedly and in this episode, I talk about about what they are and what needs to happen before you begin setting new boundaries, expressing your expectations, changing the financial arrangements, and so on.
It's common for most adult children who are struggling to launch to become angry, withdraw or resist, but that shouldn't stop you. You need to be ready for it.
This mini episode will help you realize that your adult child's responses cannot get in the way of their growth and it's what you can manage that will determine how successful these changes will be.
