In this episode we talk about one of the biggest challenges parents face today: helping young adults find career direction when they’re out of high school, in college, or unsure whether college is the right path. Drawing from our experience working with hundreds of students and young adults, we break down the three most common “lost window” scenarios and explain why so many young people feel stuck, confused, or unsure what to do next.

You’ll learn a simple and practical career planning framework for young adults that helps families clarify goals, evaluate real-world options, and decide whether to stay in college, leave college, pivot toward work, or explore alternative paths. We also walk through how to talk to your child about their future, how to help them make decisions logically instead of emotionally, and how to support them without pressure or panic.

This episode is designed for parents who are searching for guidance on:

  • How to help an adult child who has no career direction
  • How to support a child who left college or wants to leave college
  • How to help a college student choose a major, career path, or next step
  • How to guide young adults who feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do after high school
  • If your child feels stuck or uncertain about their future, this conversation will help you build clarity, confidence, and a realistic plan for moving forward with purpose.
