About this listen

Parenting with purpose often feels like pushing a boulder uphill while "everyone else" sprints downhill in the opposite direction. In this episode, Jackie shares a real-life story about setting limits with her 16-year-old, unpacks why choosing to be “different” as a parent leader matters, and connects insights from the book Hold On to Your Kids to remind us that being different isn’t deprivation — it’s the foundation for stronger families, healthier relationships, and resilient kids.

If you enjoyed this episode don’t forget to like, follow, subscribe, or leave a review/comment to let us know what resonated most—and share it with a parent who might need the reminder that the uphill climb has company.
