ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the advice you give your young adult is actually keeping them stuck?
Today, Evan Sanchez, founder of New Grad Launchpad, joins us to explore the often-overlooked challenge of parenting young adults. Evan helps parents move away from constant advice, pressure, and problem-solving and toward communication that builds trust, psychological safety, and personal ownership.
Evan shares his own journey through the music industry, advertising, layoffs, job hopping, and burnout—and how realizing he was living out of alignment changed the way he understood success, intuition, and personal responsibility.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Why well-intentioned parental advice can backfire
- How parents can stop trying to “fix” their adult children
- Building trust and psychological safety at home
- Helping young adults take ownership of their future
- The difference between supporting and controlling
- What Evan learned from career misalignment and burnout
- How parents can have calmer, more productive conversations
- Why confidence grows when people are given room to make their own decisions
If you’re a parent trying to support a young adult without pushing them further away, this conversation offers practical tools for creating better communication and helping your child move forward with confidence.
