Figuring out “what you want to be” when you grow up is tough. If you’re a parent of a child who is struggling to find their place in the world, then this episode will certainly provide some insight on what you can do to support and encourage them during this time of self-exploration.

We’re joined in this replay episode by Melanie Whitney, who runs Ask Belief Receive, a business focused on helping others, including students, find their authentic selves and feel empowered to live more consciously. We explore what parents and students can do to begin living lives that are meaningful and reflective of their definition of happiness and success.
