Help your teen or young adult find their direction
before it costs you years and tens of thousands of dollars.One-on-one coaching that starts with who they are, not where they should apply. So the path they choose actually fits.
Is this you?
FOR PARENTS
You’re watching your teen struggle and you don’t know how to help.
They say they’re fine, but they can’t explain why they chose this major or path.
Every conversation about the future feels tense. You’re afraid of pushing too hard, and afraid of saying nothing.
FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS
You’re supposed to have it all figured out. But you don’t.
Everyone keeps asking what you’re doing next. College? Trade? Work? Gap year?
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. Nobody ever taught you how to figure this out.
THE COST OF CHOOSING WITHOUT CLARITY
$18,000to $30,000+What a changed major, a wasted year, or a degree they never use actually costs. Before you count the confidence.
Years training for something that drains them
Not energizes them. There is a difference and they feel it by sophomore year.
Tension at home that never quite resolves
Arguments, disappointment, silent frustration. Every dinner is a negotiation.
The hardest part
Once you are in deep, starting over feels harder than staying stuck.
Getting started is simple.
Book a free Clarity Call.
45 minutes, over video. We talk about where they are stuck and what is really going on. No pitch. If it is not a fit, I will tell you on the call.
01Start the 8-week program.
One-on-one. We work through strengths, values, and what drives them when it is hard. The Birkman Method gives us real data instead of guesses.
02They walk out with a plan they built.
Not a plan I handed them. A 6-to-12-month roadmap they can explain to you themselves, plus the decision-making skills to keep using long after we are done.
03Your teen isn’t lazy. They’re lost.
When a young person will not make a decision about their future, parents usually read it as a motivation problem. It almost never is. It is a clarity problem. You cannot move toward something you cannot see yet.
WHAT THIS IS NOT
This is not therapy and it is not tutoring. Therapy looks backward to heal what hurts. Tutoring fixes a grade. This is forward-focused coaching.
We find out how they are wired.
Strengths, values, and what drives them when the feeling is not there. We use the Birkman Method, a research-backed behavioral assessment, not a free internet quiz that hands back a label.
We test real options against who they are.
College, trade school, apprenticeship, gap year, the workforce, entrepreneurship. Every path stays on the table and gets judged on one question: does it fit this kid?
They build the roadmap themselves.
Career themes first, then the reality check. Where they want to live, what it pays, what a Tuesday actually looks like. A plan they find is a plan they will follow.
ONE FAMILY BEFORE AND AFTER
“Before, a conversation about Nora’s future was a tense interaction that centered on indecision and usually ended up in an argument. With our follow-up discussions, we were able to discuss rather than debate and fight.”“Completing this program has significantly boosted Nora’s confidence. She can now clearly articulate what she wants to study in college and has a much stronger understanding of the higher education landscape.
Honestly, I’m not sure we would have had the time or patience to figure this out ourselves. Working with a professional and not a parent allows for a more productive discussion.

Hi, I’m Christina Drymon, PhD
I did not learn this from a textbook.
I was the first person in my family to go to college. No roadmap, nobody who had done it before me. So I did what you are supposed to do. I chased the credentials and I got them. A PhD in Social Work. Fifteen years researching why people get stuck.
In March 2025 my job was cut in a round of federal budget cuts. Six figures, gone overnight. On paper I had done everything right.
So I hired a coach. She gave me two tools. Building out a future self, and naming the limiting beliefs that were quietly holding me back. That is where this framework came from. I needed it first.

FREE MASTERCLASS · 45 MINUTES
Five shifts that get a young person to real clarity, plus three real students start to finish. Watch it whenever, pause it, come back to it.
You don’t need all the answers. You need the right questions.
Your kid is not floating in neutral while you wait. They are making small decisions that add up. Which classes, which activities, which direction to lean. And they are carrying the weight of “I don’t know” every single day.
That does not feel like freedom to them. It feels like failure.Free. 45 minutes. With or without LaunchForward.
