Ep. 31 : Failure to Launch

Otherwise, they might start feeling just a little bit TOO comfortable at home. In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd talk about why many teens today experience a “failure to launch,” and how you can help them come up with a realistic plan to move forward in their lives.
