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.

Welcome to the Telos Ultimate Potential podcast, where we explore the heart of healing, growth, and the human experience.

In today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Karl Jensen, a true legend here at Telos, who has dedicated the last 20 years to helping young people find hope and stability on their mental health journeys.

Karl shares his own powerful story of trauma and healing—and how those experiences have shaped his deep compassion and understanding for the students he serves.

Together, we’ll explore how Telos’ trauma-informed care approach recognizes that every individual carries their own version of trauma—whether big or small—and how acknowledging that truth changes the way we connect, support, and heal.

Join us for an authentic and heartfelt conversation with one of Telos’ most beloved recreational therapists and mentors, as Karl helps us see that healing doesn’t start with fixing—it begins with understanding.
