So, your adult child lives at home but does nothing all day. Seriously, nothing. They have no job, no interests, no plans, no life. You're tired of asking them, tired of nagging, losing patience and deep down, you wonder; will I ever get to retire?

You're past the point where it's just a phase. All you hear are excuses. While some might be valid, you can't help but wonder - how can they be okay living their life like this? Well, I've got news for you. And it's not good.

There is a whole community of young adults who are perfectly content with this lifestyle. They don't tell YOU that. But amongst themselves, they think it's okay. They even have a name for themselves, and it's NEET. And no, I did not mispell that. But it is sort of ironic.

In this short episode, I reveal to you what NEET means, and what you can do about it. Because if you know that your adult child has no interest in ever working, or planning their future, and they're just hoping you'll let them live out their years in their bedroom, where the #$%&! does that leave you?

If your adult child feels lost, unmotivated, and unsure about their future, you might love this episode - especially if your young adult is struggling to find out what they want to do and which career would "light them up".

I’m speaking with Kristin Clark, a Career Exploration Coach who uses the CliftonStrengths assessment (which I mentioned in Episode #25), along with her own unique formula, to help young adults better understand where their interests can take them.

We talk about why so many young adults lack the confidence when it comes to choosing a career path, how you can support this exploration process and what Kristen can do to help your adult child believe there is something out there that truly suits who they are and what they love.

If your young adult feels stuck and hopeless because they think there is no career for them, this conversation is just what you need to help them discover their strengths and move forward with confidence.

You’ve heard it said, “You’re only as happy as your saddest child,” and perhaps this is your mantra. But what if that belief is holding you back from being the parent that your adult child needs? Can you lead them through their struggles and help them overcome their fears when you feel as bad as they do?

Today, we’re talking about emotional enmeshment; what it is, how to recognize it, and how to start untangling yourself from your adult child’s emotions, while loving and guiding them every step of the way.

From this episode:

A few gentle reminders to ease you through this process of separating your emotions from your adult child's:

My child doesn’t need me to feel what they’re feeling. They need me to lead them through it.

My child doesn’t want me to be weak.
They want me to show them emotional strength.

My child won’t learn or grow or change
If I just let them stay stuck and lost.

My child needs a parent who can lead with confidence.

And that’s me.
