Description

In this episode of the Extraordinary Purpose Podcast, Erin Verdis and Chris Adang—trusted life coaches for teens, young adults, and parents—share one of their most transformative coaching tools: The Two Truths Tool. This simple but powerful framework helps families shift out of overwhelm, fear, and old stories so they can experience more clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom at home.


You’ll learn how Truth #1 (the stuck story) keeps you looping in frustration or shame—and how Truth #2 opens the door to possibility, compassion, and a healthier way forward. Through personal stories from their blended family and real coaching examples, Erin and Chris show you exactly how this tool can soften pain, reduce conflict, and strengthen connection.


What You’ll Learn:
• How two truths can exist at once
• Why the brain clings to fear-based narratives
• How to reframe pain without denying your experience
• A simple process to shift from reaction to empowered response
• How this tool builds resilience, confidence, and self-compassion
