Summary

The teenage years can be tough for ALL involved. The child, the parent – the moments of frustration when trying to communicate with them and champion them, but seeing no result can feel almost too much to take sometimes!

Well, when Landyn stumbled upon a TikTok video that her friend Mary Jo sent her with the message ‘I think this is what our teenagers are trying to tell us’ - Landyn’s ears perked up.

The man in the video was Jordan Toma. Jordan is a financial advisor turned speaker/coach from New Jersey that was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, and Auditory Processing Disorder. He struggled most of his younger years from a behavioral and educational perspective - until he was given the gift of an IEP - Individualized Education Plan. Being able to understand how to turn his struggles into his strengths changed his entire life.

Jordan’s mission is to be the person he needed during those developmental years. And now he’s here to help you and your child, too.

In this episode, Jordan is laying out:

What an IEP is and how to access this for your child
The words your child is longing to hear from you as the parent
What to do if you and your spouse aren’t on the same page on what’s best for your child
Resources available to your child from elementary to highschool if they aren’t fulfilling their highest potential
Encouragement for your parent heart to keep going

Let this episode be your reminder that you’re doing the best you can – and to trust your gut. No matter the circumstances, your child is just one assignment away from their life changing. And YOU are the catalyst to help make that happen.

You’re doing a good job, mama.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Landon. I am a lifestyle entrepreneur who is here to ask the questions we're all
0:10.2	wondering about. But maybe just a little too afraid to ask. Think of this space like your
0:15.6	girlfriend's group text. It's vulnerable, it's funny, a little bit risky, yet a safe
0:21.4	place to chat about all the real life things. I'm raising my hand for all of us, bringing
0:26.6	on the experts to uncover the solutions to our most thought about questions. And really,
0:32.6	simply here to remind you that you are not alone in any of this journey called life. Because
0:38.6	if you are wondering about it, chances are someone else is too. I'm Landon and this is the
0:44.6	Living With Landon podcast. Hey guys, welcome back to the Living With Landon podcast. I'm going to start this episode with a story
1:14.3	real quick. So my girlfriend, Mary Jo, you might follow her on Instagram. It's Mary Jo
1:19.6	from Port to Palm. And she's got teenagers and we will do a little back and forth as moms do.
1:25.6	And she sent me this video from TikTok. Right now your mom can see your potential way before you
1:35.7	can see it for yourself. Your mom might be annoying you, right? But your mom is not really trying
1:40.5	to be annoying. She's trying to remind you of who you are because you can see who you're going to
1:45.4	be called. And she needs you. She needs you to listen to her, right? She needs you to hear what she's
1:51.7	saying. Because if you don't, you'll never live up to the true potential. And when you do, because I
1:56.7	promise you, you're gonna, you're gonna look at your mom and you're gonna say, mom, you were right the
2:00.7	whole time. And it had over nine million views. And she said just listen to this. I feel like this
2:07.5	is what our teenagers are trying to tell us. So I play the video and I was so moved. I think what
2:13.6	moved me so much in that video is that my son at the time was also 14. And the title of the video is,
2:19.4	I wish someone would have told me this when I was 14. The man in the video was Jordan Thomas,
2:24.8	which is my guest today on the podcast. He's quoted in his bio as saying, I needed who I am now
