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.

As we welcome a new year, we’re reminded that growth doesn’t come from resolutions alone — it comes from reflection, intention, and self-compassion.
At Telos, we encourage our students, families, and team members to set goals that support not just achievement, but well-being. Mental health thrives when we find balance, build connection, and take each day as an opportunity to learn and grow.
Here’s to a new year of purpose, healing, and hope.

TESTIMONIAL: Meet Scott, a Telos alumni parent, sharing his family’s experience:
“I’m a parent of a child who spent about a year at Telos in Utah. After visiting several programs, what truly drew us to Telos was the people. They felt more modern, more thoughtful, and the level of care was immediately clear. We could tell they genuinely cared about the kids.
One of the most meaningful parts of my son’s experience has been the community he found—the ‘brotherhood,’ as he calls it. At home, he often felt like the outlier, but here he found instant support from both peers and staff. They lift each other.
We couldn’t be happier with the growth, support, and connection he found at Telos.”
We’re deeply grateful for families like Scott’s who trust us with their journey.

With a new school year underway, it can be difficult for students to shift into focus mode. Thinking about friends, activities, or simply being anywhere else is often easier than tackling assignments. But is it laziness—or an Executive Function deficit?
Executive Function is the ability to plan, start, and complete tasks. For students who struggle in this area, initiating and finishing schoolwork on time can feel overwhelming.
At Telos, our teachers are trained to help students strengthen these skills by building strategies to stay organized, follow through, and achieve success in the classroom. This year, instead of unfinished assignments, students can look forward to turning in work with confidence and a completed checklist in hand.
