Parents, this is your journey too

Your young person is on a Hero’s Journey and so are you!

Parenting a young person means continually learning when to guide, when to listen, and when to step back so they can discover their own strength. You don’t need to have every answer. You’re growing alongside them and that is part of the adventure.

The Parent’s Journey

You are a mentor in a story that is still unfolding.

The Call
Loving who they are becoming
The Challenge
Knowing when to guide and when to step back
The Growth
Trusting their strength and your own
The Gift
Becoming a safe place they can return to
My role as their coach

I’m not here to replace you or to “fix” your young person.

A different kind of support

A coach has a different role than a parent and that difference can be valuable.

I provide a supportive space where young people can speak honestly, become curious about their thoughts, understand their emotions, and practice making intentional choices without feeling judged, lectured, or treated like something is wrong with them.

Their story belongs to them

“I won’t tell them who they should become.”

My job is to help them recognize the strength, wisdom, and potential already inside of them. Together, we work on practical tools they can use to navigate challenges and learn how to coach themselves.

✦
An important distinction

Find the Joy coaching is educational and developmental. It is not therapy, medical care, mental-health treatment, diagnosis, or emergency support. When a young person needs care outside the scope of coaching, I will encourage the family to seek help from an appropriately qualified professional.

How communication works

Space for honesty. Clear expectations for parents.

Young people need room to speak honestly, explore their thoughts, and practice solving problems without worrying that every conversation will be reported back to a parent.

01

No play-by-play reports

I will not send frequent reports or routine summaries of what your young person shares during coaching. This gives them the space to participate openly and take ownership of their growth.

02

Parents stay connected

You won’t be left in the dark. Each month, I’ll send a newsletter that will share the current coaching theme, a practical tool, a conversation question, and important program announcements.

03

Safety comes first

If a serious safety concern arises or adult involvement becomes necessary, I will respond appropriately and involve a parent or guardian when needed. These boundaries will be explained clearly before enrollment.

Before you enroll

Their choice matters.

Please don’t enroll your young person unless they are willing to participate. You can invite and encourage them, but meaningful growth requires their honesty, curiosity, and willingness to engage. If they feel forced to participate, this likely won’t be a worthwhile investment for your family. It may be better to wait until they are ready.

A monthly note from Mindy

The Parent
Newsletter

Each month, parents of Find the Joy members will receive a newsletter designed to help you understand what we’re exploring and give you simple ways to support growth at home, without asking you to become your young person’s coach.

Inside each edition

✦ What we’re exploring inside Find the Joy
✦ One practical coaching tool to try at home
✦ A meaningful conversation question to explore together
✦ Program dates and important announcements
✦ Encouragement and useful tools for your own journey

This newsletter is a resource for you, not an individual report about your young person or a summary of their coaching conversations.

You deserve encouragement and support for your journey, too.

“

Your job is not to remove every obstacle from their path.

Challenges are where young people can discover their courage, develop wisdom, and learn that they are capable of finding their own way forward. You can walk beside them without walking the path for them.

Good to know

Designed for ages 14–25

Find the Joy supports teens and young adults as they build confidence, strengthen life skills, and learn how to coach themselves.

Age-guided community spaces

In the coaching membership, community spaces are separated by age group and guided by clear participation and safety expectations.

The next chapter

Your young person’s story is still being written.

Find the Joy gives young people practical tools, supportive coaching, and space to discover how capable they already are. You don’t need to have the whole road figured out before taking the next step.

I would be honored to support your young person on the journey.

Support for your journey

You deserve tools and support, too.

Find the Joy is designed for young people, but parents are growing through this season too. If you’re looking for coaching or personal-development support for yourself, these are two resources I recommend.

Coaching for adults

Jody Moore Coaching

Jody offers practical coaching that helps adults better understand their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday lives. Her work has been an important part of my own learning and growth.

Personal growth platform

GrowthDay

GrowthDay provides tools, coaching, and personal-development resources for adults who want continued support as they create meaningful habits and move toward their goals.

If you join GrowthDay through my link, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Reaching for support is not a sign that you’re doing it wrong. It’s one way heroes gather the tools they need for the road ahead.
