Letting Go So They Can Grow: A Conversation on Healing Young Adults

Welcome back mental health enthusiasts. Today we’re joined by Joanna Lilley, a nationally certified counselor, writer, speaker, and founder of Lilley Consulting, a therapeutic consulting practice dedicated to helping emerging adults and their families navigate the often messy transitions of young adulthood.

Joanna’s work focuses on supporting young adults — typically ages 18 to 29 — through key life moments like launching into college, taking gap years, coping with mental health and substance challenges, or finding purpose after “unraveling” from traditional expectations.

She is also the creator and host of the acclaimed podcast Success is Subjective, where she explores real stories and expert conversations about how life in young adulthood is not linear — and how resilience, perspective, and self-defined success matter more than any prescribed timeline.

In today’s conversation, we’ll dive into her unique insights on mental health, the myths of “normal” life paths, and how families and young adults can find strength and direction when life doesn’t go according to plan.
