In this inspiring episode, I sit down with my amazing guest, Dana Roefer, to dive deep into a topic that every parent needs to hear: how to cultivate the God-given gifts in your children.

As a mom, we not only have the ability, but also the responsibility to nurture these talents, whether it's through leadership skills, entrepreneurial lessons, or just intentional engagement. Dana and I connected recently at a Faith Driven Entrepreneur event, and her passion for helping teens and kids understand entrepreneurship—and more importantly, understand their capabilities—was immediately contagious. Dana is a homeschool mom and works with Faith Driven Entrepreneur, bringing a wealth of experience on raising kids with a problem-solving, entrepreneurial mindset. We talk about how this isn't just about starting a business; it's about providing a safe environment for them to try, fail, and build incredible confidence that will serve them for a lifetime.

• Is Your Overwhelm Self-Inflicted? I share the one piece of advice that can help every overwhelmed mom shift into a CEO role by delegating tasks and giving your kids valuable life experience.

• The Secret to Practical Learning: Why does Dana believe that real-life experiences at home are far more valuable for your child's entrepreneurial mindset than a school worksheet?

• Beyond Chores: The True Motivation: How can you use simple affirmations, like "Thank you for serving the family," to reinforce your child's sense of value and contribution?

• How to Find Your Tribe: I share a shameless plug about how going to a single local event led to this fast-growing friendship—learn how you can find the supportive, mission-aligned community you need!
