It’s such a relief and reassurance as I always knew there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. And thank GD I didn’t listen to the Drs… and so called professionals. Your program is such a gift I hope you can help more and more people.

Why Momentum works when nothing else does.
For Men Who Feel Stuck
This isn’t generic self-help. Momentum is built specifically for late teens and 20-somethings who want to take control of their life, but could use some structure, support, and a proven roadmap to get there.
Science-Backed Curriculum
Our program combines real-world coaching with a curriculum shaped by leaders in psychology, behavior change, physical health, and career development. Everything you learn is grounded in research and built to last.
Team Accountability
You’ll join a live session 1x/week and collaborate with your pod via group-chat every day. That regular connection, real conversations, shared challenges, and group accountability, is what keeps you on track and growing.
Skills & Career Focused
Momentum helps you explore different career paths, choose the one that fits you, and then build the hard skills to pursue it with focus and intensity. This isn't your average men's group, we're here to help you win in all aspects of life.
Practical, Not Therapy
We’re not here to diagnose or dwell on your past. But we do use the best tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, goal-setting research, and motivational science to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

95% of parents say their son is thriving
Finally found something that works and now I’m the one confident in the plan we follow each week. The clear structure, guidance, and strategies from our coach that actually fit our family have transformed our home life. I feel confident in the plan, and my son is starting to rise to meet the bar.

Momentum showed us how to set boundaries without hovering. I’m calmer now, I’m sticking to what I can control,. and he’s actually responding. Watching him take ownership while I back off has been kind of amazing.
Santiago R.

I almost didn’t sign up because of the price, but honestly it’s been worth it. The coaching gave me focus and accountability for how I was enabling my son to stay stuck, and helped me fix those things fast. A few months in and my son is becoming independent for the first time.
Rachel S.
Carlsbad, CA
Change takes time, and these coaches get that. They pushed me to hold boundaries in ways I hadn’t before. And sure enough, my son’s been stepping up planning stuff, following through, actually caring about other people. Can't recommend this program enough.
Michelle J.
Tulsa, OK
Can't believe how fast things shifted. Within weeks, just from me following through differently, my son started showing more confidence. Now he’s playing rec sports, making friends… I honestly didn’t think we’d see this kind of change so soon.
Jennifer R.

We tried therapy and other programs before this, and nothing really stuck. This coaching finally clicked. I feel supported, I’ve got real tools, and the progress at home is obvious.
Elizabeth S.
Charleston, SC
Before Momentum, our son wouldn’t stick to anything, he’d start and just quit immediately. The coaching showed me how to set goals and actually hold him to them. The coaches cared, kept us involved, and for once I’m seeing real follow-through.

Tom Bresnahan, 59
Momentum Co-Founder & Lead Coach
Tom Bresnahan knows “stuck” firsthand. In his 20s, a Hollywood dream hid anxiety, addiction, and drift—until a mentor’s blend of structure and care set him straight. When his younger brother later spiraled, Tom used the same trauma-informed coaching, daily accountability, and lifestyle fixes—and watched a rapid turnaround.
That win grew into a decade-long practice, guiding hundreds of families toward firm boundaries, united parenting, and self-driven sons.
Now, as Momentum’s Co-Founder & Lead Coach, Tom is scaling his proven system so families get help sooner. Backed by 15 years in recovery counseling and family-systems work, he offers more than advice: Momentum delivers the structure, brotherhood, and measured push that turns potential into real-world momentum.

Alex Milligan, 32
Momentum Founder & Coach
The idea for Momentum comes from my younger brother’s struggle. Despite being smart and kind, he spiraled after high school, stuck in low-wage jobs, socially withdrawn, and battling depression and bad habits. My family tried everything, but nothing seemed to stick.
What he needed wasn’t more advice. It was structure, accountability, and a group of peers to grow with. Over time, he found his way, but it was a slow, painful, and lonely process. His story isn’t rare.
I started Momentum to build the program he, and so many others, never had. We’re here to help young men rebuild not just their habits, but their belief in who they can become.

Coach & CEO at Radicle Science
I’ve spent most of my adult life building things that didn’t exist yet, and I’ve learned firsthand how messy, uncertain, and meaningful building anything real can be.
What no one tells you is that doing hard things never really gets easier, you just get better at doing them. It’s a skill like anything else. You learn to keep showing up and to move forward even when motivation fades.
That’s why I coach. love helping young men find clarity, build conviction, and realize they’re capable of more than they’ve been led to believe. To do the work is hard. But so is staying stuck. And one of those actually leads somewhere.

What's the program like?
Building Foundations
We start by shifting the parent’s role—breaking old cycles of enabling and setting a strong base for progress.
- Clarity Audit: guided reflection on boundaries, finances, and enabling behaviors
- Family Systems Mapping: identify patterns that keep your child dependent
- Boundary Basics: scripts for saying no, holding limits, and stopping rescuing behaviors
- Stress Reset Tools: quick practices to lower parent anxiety in tough moments
- Accountability Check-ins: early wins tracked with your coach to build momentum
Learn Accountability and Skills
You’ll begin putting new strategies into practice at home and learning how to hold firm without constant conflict.
- Live Roleplays: practice tough conversations with your coach before real-life use
- Boundary Implementation: introduce 1–2 non-negotiables (e.g., chores, rent, screen time)
- Conflict De-escalation: learn scripts for staying calm when your son pushes back
- Shared Parent Coaching Circle: group call with other parents to swap strategies and support
- Progress Tracking: review how your child responds when the rules shift and refine as needed
Real-World Application
This phase focuses on reducing stress in the home and creating an environment that promotes your child’s independence.
- Family Stress Audit: uncover hotspots where arguments or tension repeat
- Repair & Realign: tools for improving communication with spouse/partner and siblings
- Consistency Coaching: strategies to stop “backsliding” on limits or mixed messaging between parents
- Natural Consequences Training: practice letting your son face outcomes without rescuing him
- Community Learning: learn from alumni parents who’ve successfully navigated this stage
Launch and Thrive
The final phase is about solidifying gains and setting a plan that sustains change long after the 8 weeks end.
- Launch Plan: finalize financial boundaries, living arrangements, and expectations moving forward
- Independence Milestones: create a checklist for your son (work, school, responsibilities) that you enforce with consistency
- Parent Growth Review: compare Week 1 vs Week 8 to track your own transformation and reduced stress
- Future Supports: choose ongoing accountability options (coach check-ins, group calls, or alumni network)
- Celebrating Wins: reflect on progress as a family and reinforce the path to continued growth
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Momentum?
Momentum is a parent coaching program designed for families with adult children who are “stuck.” Instead of trying to fix your son directly, we work with you, the parent, to shift patterns, set healthy boundaries, and create the conditions where independence is the only option.
Who is Momentum for?
Momentum is for parents of young adults (typically 18–30) who are struggling with issues like lack of motivation, social isolation, gaming or screen overuse, poor follow-through, or dependence at home. If you’ve tried therapy, nagging, or tough love and nothing has stuck, Momentum gives you a proven playbook that works.
Do you coach my son at all?
No, the coaching is for parents only. We’ve found that when parents change their approach, their kids are forced to adapt. This makes progress faster, more sustainable, and less stressful than dragging a resistant young adult into sessions.
What if my spouse or co-parent disagrees with this approach?
That’s common, and we help with it. Momentum gives both parents a shared framework and communication strategies so you’re consistent at home. No more good cop/bad cop dynamics, just a unified front.
How long before I see results?
Most parents notice changes in themselves (less stress, fewer fights, more confidence) within the first few weeks. Shifts in your child’s behavior often follow soon after (sometimes faster than expected) because the family system has changed.
What if my child resists or pushes back harder?
That’s normal, and actually a sign things are shifting. Your coach will guide you step by step through the resistance phase so you don’t cave or revert back to old habits.
Who are the Momentum coaches?
Momentum coaches are clinically informed professionals trained in the Failure to Launch framework. But unlike programs that focus on “fixing the kid,” our coaches work directly with parents. They’re carefully selected for expertise in family systems, behavior change, and boundary-setting. Their role is to guide and support you as you shift your approach, so your son is pushed toward independence without constant conflict.
What cities does Momentum currently serve?
Momentum is available to parents everywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Because our program is online-first, your location never limits access. You’ll meet 1-on-1 with your coach virtually, and connect with other parents through live group sessions. Optional in-person retreats and workshops may be offered in major hubs, but the core program works no matter where you live.
