Efficient, informative, impactful - this podcast packs a lot into a short amount of time! You absolutely could not spend your time more effectively as a parent or a person trying to figure out their path and their version of success!
Thoughtful, funny, inspiring, rich and always informative! This podcast is one I keep in my regular rotation. Most of all I appreciate all the insider insight Joanna shares as a consultant who works with young adults.
Joanna Lilley interviews experts in the field of mental health and she thoughtfully includes the voices of family and people with lived experiences. Her informative podcasts have helped me & many families learn about numerous options which might not be thought of while one is in crisis. Highly recommend listening and learning from Joanna and her guests.
Love this pod. Great guests. Great messages. Conversational but deep. Deep but funny. A great listen.
If you are a young adult, parent a young adult, work with young adults, or ever were a young adult, this podcast is for you! Joanna brings warmth and humor to every conversation, each of which reminds and reassures us that there is no one pathway to - or definition of - success. A huge thanks to Joanna for giving these important conversations a platform to be heard and for the truly enjoyable experience of being invited as a guest.
