Julie Lythcott-Haims visits Google to discuss her book "Your Turn: How to Be an Adult". In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. But early adulthood for members of the Millennial and Gen Z generations looks a lot different. Those old markers are valid choices, but any one person's choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. In “Your Turn,” Julie exposes her own veins, dropping any pretense of authority about her subject and instead leads with disarming vulnerability. The result: A remarkable, comprehensive, loving, useful guide to living a more authentic adulthood from a leading voice in parenting. It turns out that being an adult is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process—one you can get progressively better at over time. Once you begin to practice it, being an adult becomes the most complicated yet also the most abundantly rewarding and natural thing. For anyone struggling with #adulting, “Your Turn” shares a path replete with actionable items that leads to joy and fulfillment. Originally published in May of 2021.

In a panel recorded live in front of an audience at the 2023 Eye to Eye National Friends and Allies conference, David and Isabelle sit down with Eye to Eye co-founders David Flink and Marcus Soutra, Eye to Eye student leader Kayla and an Eye to Eye student leader's parent Claudia to discuss what it is like to be neurodivergent—or a parent to a neurodivergent kid—across different generations. Part two of a series. To learn more about Eye to Eye, visit www.eyetoeyenational.org In this part, we cover masking, loving/hating school, and what's next for the next generation. ——David Flink shares his story, where he had a family that backed him and had a lot of privileges (being a white male in this country), but he was “invited” to leave four schools. He did not have a community. He met with his first student while he was in college, despite their neurodivergence in common, was very different from him—single mom, Cape Verdean family—became the closest person to him. He met Marcus, and they connected about getting their meds at 3p together, and now, 25 years later, here they are. Marcus points out that people think he was always talking about his learning difference, but he wasn't, he was going to school to become a teacher at King State college, and he was talking with David, and after he shared his experience in the classroom he was student teaching in and seeing the impact that made on the students, he said “no one is going to listen to us, we're 22,” we both overcompensated, were so extra professional, always showing up to meeting in suits, having to convince people that they could do this. The first person he openly talked about his learning difference with was David. Isabelle jumps in with her story; daughter of Polish immigrants, rags to riches immigrant dream kind of idea, and she had no clue she was neurodivergent until her mid to late 30's and she hadn't felt the feeling of what it's like to be in such a neurodivergent friendly space (with snacks, food, fidgets, people being so direct and honest!) until now, and is so grateful that Marcus and David co-created such a thing. She realizes her community is now other neurodivergent parents who are sitting in their own learning and parenting kids who may be neurodivergent and just working so hard and finding community that way. David wants to normalize what Isabelle is speaking to, which is that we tend to think neurodivergence or learning difference means struggling or hating school, and the truth is so many people realize they are neurodivergent when they lose the structure of school, when they get a new job, when they become parents. David Flink wonders, asking Kayla—we work for you—what are you seeing? What are you hopeful for? What is it like for you? She saw a lot of pull out classes, and her little brother is telling her his experience at school, and it's a little bit better. She was not pulled out for different classes. In class supports would be helpful, but public school districts are severely underfunded—she hopes that he does not go through so much ridicule and bullying that she had to go through. He's making genuine friendships; she didn't have a chance to make those the same way because she was always taken out of classes and kids were too busy realizing her difference. What should we all know about Gen Z? Kayla is describing being in 5th grade, taking these standardized tests and it was on the computer, and she has to take it with the rest of the class. The upside: easier than writing on paper. The downside: everyone is done before her, and everyone is on her “c'mon Kayla, finish up the class” and it just wasn't enough—if she had the proper accommodations, she wouldn't have to deal with that bullying. Claudia thinks that this is going to continue to change and evolve. Her Zoomer (wait?! Is this the next generation name?!) Got early intervention and proper accommodations and is dunking in all his classes that are not easy classes. If you have parents that start with acceptance, then seek resources and accommodations for you when you're really little, the sky is the limit. David names that generationally speaking, don't sleep on accommodations, and effective early intervention is making a difference we weren't even able to see before because it wasn't a resource that was even available to earlier generations. Claudia names that each person's unique potential and style of intelligence is different, but this sets someone up to live up to their unique greatest potential, whatever that is. Isabelle jumps in with the idea that it's also a systemic thing, to recognize (as author Julie (see show notes) put it in a talk earlier at the conference) that Gen Z is the first generation of students to even have social emotional learning standards as a part of their curriculum, we're now seeing the changes because it's not just on parents to nail it, it's the larger change that has to happen to a culture through awareness. Marcus names that this cultural change always takes longer than you think it will; when they were first starting Eye to Eye 25 years ago, they were referencing studies just completed by Marshall Raskin about what helped kids with LD to help them launch into adulthood—metacognition, social emotional skills—and David and Marcus were trying to develop an art curriculum that would develop that for students. This was a foreign concept in 2002, and there was a big push for them to “tutor.” They had been tutored, and tutoring means “fixing,” and dyslexia needs “fixing,” and the great book “Overcoming Dyslexia” had just been written (not so great title), and it was awful. Turns out tutoring someone who can't read by someone who can't really read is a bad idea. But social emotional learning—BOOM. Changes everything. So they were doing this forever ago, and it's still something they have to advocate for. It takes generations to make these changes. When David (Kessler) started working with Eye to Eye, he would ask a room full of people “who here has a learning difference” and people would reluctantly barely raise their arms, v. Now- now people own it and they talk about ableism sucking and what can we do to fight society, and… students who know they're neurodiverse it's a big difference Kayla sees. She also knows that her school setting matters. She is in a private school for high school, and people who know they have an LD and are proud of it, while her peers in public schools haven't had the same supports and staff who are also ND modeling it for them. She goes to her teachers at the beginning of the school year, and she advocates for what she needs, and her teachers self-disclose their own ND to her. David describes: kids that aren't shamed feel better about it. We can't really learn with shame. Kayla also describes how she has to keep advocating for herself, teachers don't really know what you need and you keep having to explain and name your accommodations.Julie Lythcott-Haims - OI speaker and author of "How to Raise an Adult" and "Your Turn: How to Be an Adult"To learn more about Eye to Eye, visit www.eyetoeyenational.org-----Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby RichardsSpecial Thanks to our amazing panelists: Marcus Soutra, David Flink, Kayla Dumas, and Claudia Bouchacourt for their courage, enthusiasm, and willingness to be vulnerable and real.

For this final episode of the season, I talk to Julie Lythcott-Haims, who is asking the question “what does it mean to grow up?” For her, it's about lovingly letting go of your past burdens so that you can be true to yourself – while not trampling on anybody else. Our conversation flows naturally from topic to topic as we learn about how learning mindfulness took her from being a lawyer and dean of a university to becoming a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and activist focused on helping humans find their true north. Later, we bring these themes into a discussion of inclusion, identity, and intergenerational healing. Julie shares about growing up as a Black and biracial person with a white mother, healing her past to be the parent she wants to be, and widening her scope to community engagement after isolation during COVID 19. --- Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way.

Replay of Episode 69. There's a lot to learn about how to help (or let) a kid become an adult from someone who worked with Stanford students for 10 years, not to mention someone who wrestles with every major moment in parenting herself. Julie Lythcott-Haims is the author of How to Raise an Adult and Your Turn: How to Be an Adult and is as honest as they come. This is one to play on repeat. If you loved this conversation, you might also like the August 27 quick hit pod on Parenting Mantras or Kelly's conversation with parenting expert Dr. Lisa Damour on how different generations approach parenting.
By loading kids with high expectations and micromanaging their lives at every turn, parents aren't actually helping. At least, that's how Julie Lythcott-Haims sees it. With passion and wry humor, the former Dean of Freshmen at Stanford makes the case for parents to stop defining their children's success via grades and test scores. Instead, she says, they should focus on providing the oldest idea of all: unconditional love. After the talk, stick around for a discussion on how you can be a grown-up, too, as Elise and Julie discuss her new book, "Your Turn: How to Be an Adult." This episode is part of the TED Talks Daily summer book club, a series featuring talks and interviews to inspire your next great read. And if you'd like to learn more from Julie, you can enroll in her new TED Course, which builds off the ideas from her book.

This week, Farai interviews New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims on what adulthood— or “adulting”— looks like for millennials and Gen Zers, and how generally we can all live with more authenticity in her new book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult. Then in the weekly segment, Sippin' the Political Tea, we revisit an enlightening conversation about abortion access for Black women and girls between Farai, Georgetown law professor and OBP legal contributor Tiffany Jeffers, and UC Irvine law professor, Michelle Goodwin.
Grateful to have NYT Bestselling Author Julie Lythcott-Haimes on the podcast once again talking about her latest book- Your Turn- How to Be An Adult. In this book, Julie writes with such compassion helping young adults navigate their way in an incredibly complicated world. In this episode she vulnerably shares some of her own challenges in her own parenting young adults as well as the powerful stories of young people trying to figure it out. Julie shares timely wisdom for parents who want to know how to support their young adult as well as young adults who need to know they are not alone on this journey.
In 7th grade, I was invited by my teacher to join a creative writing group. I respectfully declined. Then, during a parent/teacher conference, that 7th grade teacher told my mom I declined. In all of my mom's wisdom, we had a discussion about it and encouraged me to reconsider. I still said no. For me, it felt like an unsafe club because there were no stories I could related too as a young black girl. In this episode, I would love to introduce you to Julie Lythcott-Haims. Julie is no stranger to telling a great story. Not only does she share how her writing was rejected for decades but she also shares her journey on how writing allowed her to find the most important love. The love she had for herself. Julie Lythcott-Haims is an American writer, speaker and human. She has written three non-fiction books: How to Raise an Adult; Real American, a memoir; and Your Turn: How to Be an Adult.

Today's job market is a stark contrast to the job market of 20- years ago. Millennials and Gen Z'ers who are entering the workforce have different ideas about what makes a successful career and a happy work life. Young adults who are empowered with the right tools to problem solve for themselves will be major assets for the organizations they join. How long they maintain a position will be up to the organization to foster their talent and the ability of the young adult professional to rise to find different opportunities within the same organization. To discover how young adults entering the workforce can build a foundation of trust and commitment to achieve work/life success, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors about how young adult professionals can stand-up, stand- out, and succeed. Julie Lythcott-Haims is a New York Times bestselling author and former Stanford Dean of Freshman. She explores the role parents can play in raising empowered young adults and other reflections from her book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult. Mark Zides is the CEO of CoreAxis Consulting and a serial entrepreneur. He discusses the core concepts he provides to young adults in his book, The #PACE Process for Early Career Success.

Your Turn: How to be an Adult with Julie Lythcott-Haims What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they're all valid, but any one person's choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is instead a process, one you can get progressively better at over time, becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going.

Julie is a writer, speaker, teacher, mentor, and activist, Her mission has always been to be of service to others, and through her books, Julie is helping us to raise and be adults.

Her newest book, Your Turn, How to Be an Adult, was just released in paperback and is a must-read for all parents and young adults on the topic of adulting. In this conversation, Julie and I are talking about helicopter parenting, the influence of social media on children, how college admissions are impacting our children and so, so much more.

I loved chatting with this week's Beyond Influential guest—it's easily one of my favorite interviews I've done for the show because it dives into the highly relevant topic of what it truly means to be an adult in today's world. This is an important conversation as many millennials and more and more Gen Z-ers are currently trying to be an adult while simultaneously starting to raise the next generation of adults. New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims is a speaker, teacher, mentor, and activist who brings so much value and experience to the table and delivers insight after insight in this conversation. As the former Stanford dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising, Julie has encountered countless twenty and thirty somethings who feel they're just playing the part of “adult,” while internally struggling with anxiety and stress. She has written multiple books that I can highly recommend. Her first book, How to Raise an Adult, led to a popular Ted Talk on How to Raise Successful Kids Without Overparenting. And now her most recent book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, examines and answers the question, “What does it really mean to be an adult today?” and includes practical strategies for living a more authentic adult life. In Ep. 174, we cover: Julie's journey from lawyer to creating her own role at Stanford to acclaimed author The overparenting phenomenon and its effects Why many millennials don't feel confident in their adulting skills What it actually means to be an adult (and why it's a process, not a checklist) Why you need to stop “playing it safe” in order to live your most authentic life, and more!

To join the Spring cohort of The Journey Forward Method: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/ Any parent who has ever protected their child from feeling an uncomfortable emotion, wanted to prevent them from being in an uncomfortable situation or didn't adequately prepare their child to gain the skills to get through challenges needs to listen to this episode. I speak with the amazing Julie Lythcott-Haims, who is a lawyer, turned Stanford University dean, turned author, who is writing to help parents back off from over parenting their children and actually learn how to repattern the unskillful patterns that are preventing young adults from living a thriving life. So many parents have good intentions and yet poor execution, and while many parents are wanting to reduce their kids' anxiety, the results of overparenting are actually increasing anxiety for both parents and kids. This candid conversation shares not only personal stories but really helpful and practical tools that any parent, with kids of any age, will benefit from. Julie also shares about her new book, recently released, Your Turn, which she considers to be a follow up from her first book, How to Raise an Adult.

This is a far ranging, passionate discussion that you are sure to enjoy. We explore topics like free range kids, stranger danger, overprotecting. How to empathize and empower not only our kids but also adults. How to become stronger in the face of the storm. This is a discussion we all need right now. Show notes: I believe in humans. I'm rooting for all of us to make it. I've come to appreciate that despite our innumerable differences, we all want to be treated with dignity and kindness. We all yearn to know that we matter. We all want to be seen, accepted, and loved simply as we are. I'm interested in what gets in the way. Sometimes the obstacle begins within: our ego, fear, and shame can eat at us and make it difficult for us to be kind even to ourselves let alone to others. Each of us is also implicitly biased in favor of and against groups of humans based upon our upbringing, lived experiences, and the ideas to which we have been exposed. And over the decades and centuries of our modern existence, we've built societal mores, rules, policies, structures, and systems that preference some while demeaning or excluding others. There is so much work to do, at all levels, to build a human community in which we all matter. I want to do my small part. As someone who has the privilege of writing and publishing books, I've decided that the twin practices endemic in American publishing of describing characteristics of race, class, sexual orientation, and other identities only when deemed “the other,” and of assuming that all readers belong to a particular demographic group are no longer tolerable. I'm using my newest book Your Turn: How to Be an Adult to demonstrate that we can, and must, write inclusive books. You can read about how I've attempted to do that, here. It's up to you and me to treat all humans with dignity and kindness and to inspire others to do the same. We can do this. It's well past time.

In this amazing, smart, and no B.S. conversation, Julie and I discuss: What success means and how we can model it for our children Why affluent parents are more likely to over-parent. Why parents freak out about our kids' college decisions What Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer can teach us about career plans Julie holds degrees from Stanford, Harvard Law School, and holds and California College for the Arts.

I'm excited to welcome you to a special episode of the Mother's Quest Podcast that I am extremely grateful for, just in time for Thanksgiving, featuring the amazing Julie Lythcott-Haims and my 17-year-old son Ryan Neale. Julie is an incredible mother to two, a former Stanford Dean and New York Times bestselling author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult, which gave rise to a TED Talk that has more than 5 million views. Her second book is the critically-acclaimed and award-winning prose poetry memoir Real American, which illustrates her experience as a Black and biracial person in white spaces. I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to interview Julie for the podcast several years ago when that book was first released. When I heard about Julie's new book Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, I knew I wanted to invite her back to the podcast again. And, I hoped that my son Ryan, on the threshold of adulthood himself, would join us in the conversation. The stars aligned and Ryan was available the day of the interview, enabling Julie, Ryan, and I to explore the concepts of her book, about navigating adulthood and embracing our differences, especially our neurodiversity, in deeply personal and relevant ways. In this episode, I'm also excited to share a dedication from Deborah Reber, former podcast guest, fellow mother on a quest, and host of the TiLT Parenting Podcast.Deborah's heart-felt dedication honors Julie and other mothers raising neurodivergent children. I could not agree more with Deborah's assessment about what an exceptional human Julie is, about the power of Julie's commitment to put the stories of a diverse group of young people with different identities on the pages of her book, and about the impact of Julie's work for normalizing and honoring differences. As you hear our conversation unfold, I know you'll be as struck as I was by Julie's wisdom and humility as she talks with Ryan, helping him to understand that he deserves to be cherished for who he is, that he can approach things like writing in ways that work for his differently-wired mind, and that he can seek out environments, like college, that enables him to play to his strengths and allow him to thrive. Since our conversation, Ryan was able to take Julie's advice to heart, using voice to text without shame to write his personal statement for college applications and sharing his personal insights on a panel at the recent Stanford Neurodiversity Summit. You can follow the link in the show notes to listen.Finally, this conversation is a demonstration that there is no destination to becoming an adult, but an ongoing journey of learning and discovery, that parents and their children can support one another in reciprocity with curiosity, and that we can all benefit from asking ourselves the question from Mary Oliver's famous poem, that Julie gives us as our challenge, “What is it that we want to do with our one wild and precious life?”As we approach Thanksgiving, the five-year birthday of the launch of Mother's Quest, and my 50th birthday, I can say there is nothing I'd rather do than hold space for a conversation like this one and share it with you.

Connect with Julie: Website Twitter Instagram LinkedIn About RyanRyan Neale is a neurodivergent 12th Grader from San Mateo, California. His parents discovered he was differently wired when he was 18 months old but he has been in fully mainstream education for his academic career, with most people around him not knowing about some of the struggles that he faces. His experiences publicly masking his neuro differences have given him a unique perspective on many of the struggles neurodiverse people face, such as public stigma, ableism, and the ever-present desire to fit in. As he has begun advocating more for his needs, he has high hopes to use his perspective and communication skills to increase public understanding of neurodiversity, and hopefully create a more inclusive society for everyone. In his free time, he enjoys playing varsity basketball for his high school team, coaching youth sports, roughhousing with his little brother, and diving headfirst into his many fantasy special interests. He is thrilled to have participated in this fall's Stanford Neurodiversity Summit on a K-12 student panel. You can listen to the panel here.

Go to a quiet place, a shower, out in nature, or on a hammock and ask yourself "What is the work that brings me joy? What are the places and spaces where I feel valued and seen?"

You are not a piece of clay that is meant to be formed into something someone else wants you to be. You are a human being. A human being with dreams, goals, passions, interests, talents...You're not a drone, a puppet, or a dog on a leash. You are whatever YOU want to be and feel called to be in this world. Julie Lythcott-Haims, a New York Times bestselling author and a speaker, didn't always see her work encompassing writing, speaking, mentoring, and activism. She went into college unsure on what to do but curious on how she could make an impact; a good impact in the world. She started with studying American Studies, shifting to Law and eventually finding herself working in higher education, serving college students. As she worked with students, she found a huge passion for leading young adults and parents of young adults, so much so, she decided to write a book and go on to write two more: Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, Real American: A Memoir, and How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Julie joins Joanna to share her journey going from failing communications class to now making a living as a communicator with 3 books and a TedTalk. Her story of overcoming challenges as a woman of color working to make a name for herself, will be sure to inspire you to take action today on your passions. Listen in for Julie's insight on how imperative it is to figure out what you're good at, what you love, and where you feel a sense of belonging in the world and to not let anyone stop you. You CAN live the life you want to lead, despite what anyone else has to think or say about it.

The boundary between adolescence and adulthood is naturally blurred. Usually, there is no distinct moment in which you seize to be a “youth” and begin to be an “adult”. But more important than identifying a key moment in time when this transition occurs, what does it actually mean to “become an adult”? Former Stanford Dean and New York Times bestselling author Julie Lychott-Haims re-joins the podcast to explore her new book, "Your Turn: How to Be an Adult".

Invariably, we all want what is best for our children. As parents, we would give anything for them to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. But that eagerness to give them the world can create problems. If we move from being a teacher and advocate to something more, we run the risk of stripping them of the opportunity to learn and grow into the fullness of who they could be. This conundrum fascinates Julie Lythcott-Haims, compelling her to help parents raise healthy, self-sufficient kids. She is the New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult which gave rise to a popular TED Talk. Her second book is the critically-acclaimed and award-winning prose poetry memoir Real American, which illustrates her experience as a Black and biracial person in white spaces. Her third book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, has been called a “groundbreakingly frank” guide to adulthood. This episode is full of both helpful advice and touching stories, both of which are sure to inspire you on your parenting journey.

How do we support our young people in becoming independent, thriving, adaptable, confident learners? How do we encourage them to develop a sense of their own agency and shape their lives, rather than having their lives dictated to them? And what is the role of schools in creating capable, responsible adults -- not just high-stat students who achieve academically but struggle to “adult” beyond the classroom?The impact of the college admissions race on students and schools is becoming increasingly clear. While students pursue an ever-growing number of advanced courses, impressive extracurricular achievements and other “resume-builders” to boost their chances of getting into top colleges, educators and parents are taking stock of the other skills that seem to have fallen by the wayside. Is the pursuit of academic excellence at all costs leading to a generation of students who don't know how to handle the basic tasks of adulthood? Julie Lythcott-Haims, NY Times bestselling author of “Your Turn,” “Real American,” and “How to Raise an Adult,” joins New View EDU to shed light on how our current concepts in education may be inadvertently restricting students' growth.In this episode, hosts Tim Fish and Lisa Kay Solomon talk with Julie about her personal concept of “rooting for humans” and her investment in helping all people thrive. A former dean at Stanford, Julie shares how her own observations about the emerging harm of helicopter parenting led her to begin exploring how young people suffer when they're deprived of opportunities to develop agency, self-determination and problem-solving skills. She urges school leaders to consider how responsibility and care for the community can be infused into the school experience from the youngest ages, rather than left as “community service hours” check boxes for older students to complete. And in the wake of the pandemic, Julie encourages all adults to reconsider their definitions of both service and success -- understanding that no child can be considered to have “failed” when confronted with a global crisis, and that for many students, stepping up to help at home to fulfill a need may have been the highest form of service possible.More deeply, Julie examines the ways in which true inclusion and care for every student make a stark difference in the educational landscape. Who “matters” in each school and classroom, and how can educators examine the evidence presented to them that shows which students feel seen and which don't? What can educators do to commit to creating school cultures where each and every student feels that they matter deeply to someone? And how can school leaders ensure that everyone within their communities understands, commits to and lives the values upon which the school is founded, using those values to invest deeply in relationships that uplift every person?Some of the key questions Tim and Lisa explore in this interview include:What opportunity currently exists for school leaders to let go of practices that don't serve their values, and embrace changes that do?How do we design schools to deliberately embrace relationship-building and connection as core concepts, not secondary to test prep and rigor?In what ways might we be able to redefine concepts like SEL and service learning to become more joyful, integrated and internalized, and less performative?How can schools create cultures that support “fending” skills from the youngest ages, and why is it important to do so?Resource List:Your Turn: Julie's bestselling book about “how to be an adult.”The Your Turn Study Guide: A helpful resource for using Julie's book to start “fending” and finding your voice.

It doesn't happen that way. Fending is intrinsically about skills. You don't, we don't go from handling everything for kids to them suddenly being capable of doing for themselves. That's called being cut off cold turkey, and it's cruel, and it leads to, you know, can lead to real devastating results. So we are definitely in for a reframe.” (8:16)“At a very practical level, Home Ec and shop class-- Home Ec and shop class were terrific places to learn some of the fending skills. And in many communities, those courses have gone the way of the dinosaur because we've gotten so enamored of what we think of as enrichment, which we think is only the hardcore academic stuff. So we've jettisoned the stuff of life out the window, and we shouldn't be surprised that we graduate people with high GPAs, who cannot do much for themselves.” (10:17)“I try to hone in on the root, the Latin root educare, you know, educate, educare. Educare, I'm told-- I was never a student of Latin, but I have learned-- means to bring forth. And I tell educators, what's your subject? And they'll say French, Latin, Spanish, Math, English, History, Art, Music, et cetera. And I'll challenge that. I'll say, isn't your student the subject? Aren't you bringing your student forth, and simply your expertise-- math-- is, is what you use to bring them forth?” (14:15)“Our educators are hurting. They're, they're stretched so thin. They've been burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. And we all need to restore the self, if we have any hope of being of use to other humans. And when we can walk that walk, then I think we are reshaping education and reshaping the experience our children have within it.” (20:15)“You know, for some kids, they're just proud they're alive, and we need to celebrate that because people were pushed to the brink. So celebrating, recognizing the stronger capacities and emotional strength that was built because of this struggle. That would be an important thing, I think, to embed at least into this coming fall, if not to make it a part of a much bigger practice.” (27:31)Full TranscriptAbout Our Guest:Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way.

"Adulting" has now become a verb, and it scares us. Yet it is also essential if we are to live our best, most authentic lives. So how do you do it if you've not learned all the necessary lessons? And what defines an adult, anyway? These are the questions tackled by Julie Lythcott-Haims in her new book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult (2021, Henry Holt & Company). In our interview, we address how the meaning of adulthood has changed from what it used to be; the necessary balance between “fending” for oneself and relying on others; and how Julie's own life experiences shaped the development of the book and her ideas. This episode is for adults trying to improve themselves, parents trying to raise them, and those in between.

Adulting can be hard. Julie Lythcott-Haims believes that statement is more than a meme. It’s the truth. The transition from childhood to adulthood used to be clear: Finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry and have children. But the world has changed dramatically. Lythcott-Haims, a former dean at Stanford University and a mom to two young adults, says young people today lead different lives and have more freedoms — and thus, need updated guidance. In her new book, “Your Turn: How to be an Adult,” she offers compassion, practical advice and personal stories for anyone struggling to “hashtag adult.” She shared that wisdom with host Kerri Miller Friday morning. Guest: Julie Lythcott-Haims is an author, speaker and activist. Her latest book is “Your Turn: How to be an Adult.” Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS
What is up everyone and welcome back to my podcast—You're Doing A Good Job.My intention with this podcast is to dive deep and explore what it looks like to expand our lives—consciously. Because when we expand our lives—consciously, we become more emotionally aware, present and connected people and when we become more emotionally aware, present and connected—we win.Our relationships win. Our self-worth wins. Our sense of purpose wins. And most importantly, our mental health and emotional wellness, win.Now if you follow me on social media or if you know anything about my story, then you'll know that mental health and emotional wellness are a big part of my journey. I often talk about how I did reach my dreams of playing in the NFL but I lost myself in the process. And after years of healing and redefining that season of my life it is a passion of mine to share a message and help facilitate brave conversations around how we can begin to integrate our mental fortitude, and determination to expand our lives with the power of vulnerability and emotional skills.Because when we live more consciously aware and integrated, we unlock our lives—physically, emotionally, financially and relationally.Just recently, I had the chance to read How To Raise An Adult, by Julie Lythcott-Haims and as I was reading this book, I was overwhelmed in the best of ways. Truthfully, up until reading this book, I never directly correlated the mental health challenges that I experienced as a young adult to the direct effects of being over-parented as a child. It was eye opening to me in so many ways.Not only that, but as I was reading this book I could feel it deep in my bones that I would naturally want to over-parent, despite knowing the damaging long term effects it could have on a child and that's when I knew I had to have Julie on my podcast to talk more about her research on over-parenting and her book.This podcast episode with Julie is full of deep wisdom but make no mistake, it will challenge you. So if you're ready to lean into your edges of growth as a person and as a parent, you're going to love this episode.On this episode of You're Doing A Good Job, we dive deep into:What is over parenting and how and when did it originateWe also talk about what's really going on behind the need to over-parent and what you should do about itWe talk about my story around being over-parented and how it impacted my lifeWe talk about the importance of redefining success as a parent and where to draw the line between making decisions for your children and giving them the space to forge their own paths in life.I promise you, you're going to walk away with so much from this episode. Julie is one of a kind and not only does she know what she's talking about, but she's full compassion and empathy.-About Julie Lythcott-Haims:Julie believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way. She is the New York Times bestselling author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult which gave rise to a TED Talk that has more than 5 million views.

Julie Lythcott-Haims is the author of the New York Times best-selling book How to Raise an Adult. Before becoming an acclaimed author, Julie was Stanford's Dean of Freshmen. At Stanford, Julie was known for advocating on behalf of her students and for her fierce critique of parental involvement in the day-to-day lives of college students. Julie started writing about the harm of helicopter parenting, which gave way to her book How to Raise an Adult and her popular TedTalk on overparenting. However, before you can raise an adult, you have to know how to become one. Julie's new book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult was released this week, on April 6, 2021.

Life for young adults was already complicated before the pandemic. Cell phones, tablets, video gaming systems, streaming videos, and helicopter – no, snowplow – parents removing character building adversity from the paths of their children. Then the pandemic hit, requiring an internal grit to work through it – the type of grit usually developed as a result of having to deal with the same adversity cleared by the snowplow. Julie Lythcott-Haims is a New York Times bestselling author and former dean of freshmen at Stanford University who joins John for a candid discussion as part of Higher Ground's year-long focus on parenting impacts upon higher education. John and Julie discuss life, leadership, and development lessons learned from Julie's latest book Your Turn: How to Be an Adult. Julie's book reads like a deep and warm conversation between friends, full of anecdotes reflecting insights into the mind of today's young adult generation that every parent and every educator needs to read. A humble thanks to Julie for her work in this area and for her time in talking with us. Order her new book here.
