Help Your Adult Child Get Motivated, Find Purpose, and Become Independent
Your adult child is in their 20s or 30s, living at home with NO job, NO direction, NO responsibilities, and won't listen to ANYTHING you say.
Is This What You're Dealing With At Home?
They sleep all day, and they're up all night.
You worry they may never become independent.
They're so unmotivated, with no direction or purpose.
You're tired of having the same dead end conversations.
You feel so disrespected in your own home.
You feel helpless because they seem so depressed.
They have no responsibilities, expecting you to do it all.
You walk on eggshells to avoid upsetting them.
You question whether you did something wrong as a parent.
They have no social life and show no interest in seeing people.
They barely talk to you, but they rely on you for everything.
You want them to live a full life and for your home to be peaceful.
What You Need is a Roadmap.
And that's what you'll get with

What People Are Saying About Shari Jonas &
The Journey to Independence
The Journey to Independence has been an absolute game-changer. Our son was isolated, unemployed, and stuck. This course gave us a clear plan and the confidence to follow through. He's now engaged, helping around the house, and working on his resume. Real hope. Real tools. Highly recommended.
After going to several therapists who had no idea how to help with my 26-year-old daughter, I finally found Shari on TikTok. She truly understands the parental dilemma and teaches with kindness and compassion. There is hope through Shari!
We have a 25-year-old and a 22-year-old, and communication had become really difficult. After applying Shari's strategies we've made meaningful strides. We're working with our adult children instead of being at odds with them. So grateful.
Shari is knowledgeable and passionate. The course was filled with relevant information, actionable steps, and personal insight into the challenges families are experiencing. Her support is genuinely empowering. Absolutely recommend.
A must for parents who have tried to encourage their adult child but couldn't break through. It's a way to pause, breathe, and be open to new strategies. This course changed how I show up as a parent.
I was hoping to get specific information on how to communicate with my adult child and deal with her resistance. The course most certainly provided a very comprehensive plan on how to accomplish exactly that.
As parents, this course is a lifeline. The things Shari spoke of felt like she was directly speaking about my adult child. There weren't any local professionals offering what we needed. This course is exactly what I needed.
All supplemental materials were practical and beneficial. I specifically appreciated the examples of negative and positive phrases to use with my daughter, and the living guide agreement. We just started working on it.
The biggest lesson: I couldn't keep parenting without a blueprint for success. Shari gave us that blueprint. I couldn't keep parenting in an anxious way and expecting different results. This course changed everything.
The concept of the agreement letter is the most helpful tool. It's a loving letter outlining all expectations and consequences. It defines healthy boundaries and helps the adult child gain self-confidence as they celebrate the wins of launching into independence.
I had struggled for years on how to help my adult child launch. I was tired and frustrated. After hearing Shari talk so passionately about this struggle, I knew she had the answers I was looking for. And she did.
The best way to help our children would be to combine this amazing course with individual sessions, which my husband and I intend to do. Thank you so much for everything. This course has been incredibly helpful for our family.
Taking Shari’s Parenting Course was very eye opening. She is very knowledgeable in this field and there is so much to learn from the course and also her podcast. Shari is also a compassionate and caring person. She genuinely wants to help parents with our struggles. I feel very fortunate that I have found her and will continue to learn from her after years of searching. As a parent, I feel more equipped than ever before. I highly recommend Shari to anyone looking for understanding and how to approach this time in our lives.
I highly recommend Shari Jonas’s online parenting class to any parent struggling to support an adult child. After years of searching for ways to help my child, who has faced challenges since their teenage years, Shari’s course provided the most practical and empowering guidance I have found. Her approach offers clear, actionable tools that help parents navigate difficult situations with greater confidence, clarity, and compassion. Through her course, emails, and podcasts, Shari provides not only valuable strategies but also genuine hope. Her clinical expertise combined with personal insight has made a meaningful and lasting difference for me, and I continue to rely on the tools I learned in her program.
