   S2 Episode 43 - The Business of Parenting Unscripted

   What if the thing that makes the biggest difference in your child’s life is something you may never even realize mattered? In this unscripted episode, Jackie reflects on 43 episodes of The Business of Parenting, shares what’s coming next, and tells a simple story about a boy throwing starfish back into the ocean—one that captures why she continues this work and why our everyday leadership as parents matters. We may never know which lesson, conversation, act of love, or word of encouragement will stick with our children. But one of them might. And that one thing may create a ripple far beyond what we can see today. An encouraging reminder for every parent leader to keep showing up, keep pouring in, and trust that what you do matters.
