How to Help Your Children Discover Their Unique Gifts (Even When They Can't See It)

Do you have a child that struggles to find their 'place' in your family? Or maybe you're the one who felt like your gifts didn't help the family at all? 

Join Steve and Lauren Alessi as they peel back the curtain on what it really takes to thrive as the different one in a family of go-getters. You’ll hear Lauren’s honest journey from struggling with shyness to confidently embracing her own gifts—and how her parents, Steve and Mary, leaned in to help her discover a calling in counseling - which is now blossoming into an amazing chapter in her life.

Through real family conversations, tough love, and even a dramatic “family intervention,” the Alessis prove that every personality—loud or reserved—serves a vital role. With humor and heart, they dive deep into the pressures of family expectations, the false allure of “what’s good” versus “what’s God,” and how trusting each other opens doors to real purpose.

Discover wisdom on navigating differences and supporting each other’s true paths—no matter where you fit in.
