In this episode, Dana is joined by Joanna Lilley, a therapeutic consultant who specializes in helping “emerging adults” navigate the overwhelming transition into adulthood. Joanna explains why today’s young people are more anxious and “stuck” than ever, often feeling paralyzed by too many choices and a lack of external structure after college. She offers a compassionate yet direct roadmap for both parents and young adults, tackling tough questions like: Will your child be able to survive without you? And is that a real boundary or just distress intolerance? Joanna provides several strategies for building life skills, finding forward momentum outside of a traditional career path, and fostering independence without fear.
