    S2 Episode 33 - Sole Founder: Leading Your Family with Clarity and Confidence - Partnering For Life Mini Series Part 4
    Feb 16 2026

    In this supplemental episode of the Partnering for Life mini-series, Jackie speaks directly to single parents and sole decision-makers at home. Drawing from her experience being raised by a single mother, she reflects on what strong leadership looks like from a child’s perspective and reframes family leadership through the lens of the “sole founder.” This episode explores how clarity, support systems, sustainable rhythms, and internal alignment help single parents lead with confidence, build stability, and shape lasting family culture.

    If this episode resonated, please follow along, leave a review, or share it with a parent who might need the reminder that leading alone doesn’t mean leading without strength or strategy.

    S2 Episode 32 - Staying Aligned in the Flurry of Life: Partnering For Life Mini Series Part 3
    Feb 9 2026

    In Part 3 of Partnering for Life, Jackie reflects on what happens after vision is defined and ownership is clarified—because life keeps changing. Through personal stories and leadership insights, she explores how couples can build rhythms of recalibration, stay connected through busy seasons, and revisit alignment before small tensions grow into distance. Strong partnerships aren’t built on one good conversation—they’re sustained through intentional return.

    If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to follow, subscribe, or share it with a parent who might need the reminder that strong family leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about staying connected, course-correcting early, and choosing alignment again and again.

    S2 Episode 31 - The Invisible Work Problem (And Why It Breaks Partnerships): Partnering For Life Mini Series Part 2
    Feb 2 2026

    In Part 2 of Partnering for Life, Jackie explores the invisible work and mental load that often strain even strong marriages. From tracking school schedules to anticipating needs, unseen responsibilities can quietly create imbalance and resentment if they’re never named. In this episode, Jackie unpacks the difference between “helping” and true ownership and shares practical ways couples can clarify responsibility, build shared leadership, and strengthen their partnership at home.

    ​​If this episode was helpful, I’d love for you to follow along, leave a review, or share it with a parent who might need the reminder that invisible work is real leadership—and that clarity and shared ownership are essential for healthy partnerships at home.
