The current structure of treatment fixes the fundamental issue. The recovery chain consists of the client, the support group, and the helping professionals. The end goal should be to reduce the helping professional's ego, increase the client's esteem, and reduce the support group's confusion.

To recover is to identify, keep, and exploit your initiative. Going on the offense is the only authentic way to reach a clearly defined transformation. Being aggressive requires disruption. You must attack norms and firmly establish your desired endpoint.

Created by Richard Jones, RN — the mind behind Parenting Your Child in Recovery and the King Maker Program — this podcast offers short, powerful sessions designed to help you:
• Understand what today’s young adults are REALLY up against
• Shift from worry and frustration to structure and strategy
• Learn the “parent side” of building agency, direction, and accountability
• Support your young adult without arguing, rescuing, or controlling
• Use the principles of the King Maker Program to strengthen influence at home
• Become the steady voice that helps them move from potential to purpose
Every episode is a pep talk — direct, honest, and grounded in decades of real-world experience with young adults in crisis, transition, and transformation.
This is not another “parenting tips” podcast.
This is where parents become king makers:
Adults who know how to guide, support, and encourage young men and women into confidence, leadership, and a future they can own.
If you’ve ever said to yourself,
“I know my child can do more — I just don’t know how to reach them,”
you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The King Maker Pep Talk —
where hope becomes strategy,
and strategy becomes transformation.
