About this listen
We tell our kids that when one door closes, another one opens — but when it’s our turn to face rejection or disappointment, living that truth isn’t so easy. In this episode of The Business of Parenting Podcast, Jackie shares a personal story of hearing “no” herself, and how it became an opportunity to practice what she preaches.
Together we’ll explore the difference between managing family logistics and leading with values, and why “no” plays such an important role in both. You’ll learn three practical ways to reframe “no” as an investment in resilience, connect it to your family values, and model how to handle rejection for your kids.
Because sometimes the most powerful leadership moments aren’t found in the “yes”es — they’re hidden in the “no”s.
