Preparing our children for life's inevitable challenges might be the greatest gift we can offer them as parents. Jennifer Borget, a thriving content creator, former broadcast journalist, and homeschooling mother of three, reveals how modeling entrepreneurship and resilience has shaped her family's journey through both successes and setbacks.
What began as an anonymous blog while working as a news anchor has evolved into a multifaceted content creation business spanning multiple platforms. Jennifer shares the unexpected path that led to developing physical products like the Family Movie Night Journal, which families across the country now use to create meaningful traditions together.
The conversation dives deep into how children absorb entrepreneurial lessons through observation. Jennifer's kids witness two contrasting career models—their father's traditional employment and their mother's self-directed business—giving them a broader understanding of what's possible for their futures. Through practical involvement in her business, from helping with design elements to fulfilling orders, her children gain hands-on experience while creating family memories.
Most powerfully, Jennifer emphasizes that showing our children how to navigate failure might be our most important teaching opportunity. "You can change your mind and that's okay" becomes a liberating mantra that reduces the fear of making mistakes. When children see parents pivot, adjust course, or even throw the occasional bagel during a moment of frustration, they learn that resilience isn't about perfection—it's about honest communication and getting back up after setbacks.
For parents hoping to nurture limitless potential in their children, Jennifer offers this wisdom: counter the world's limiting messages with consistent affirmation, recognize each child's unique gifts rather than forcing predetermined paths, and create space for their individual dreams to flourish. The greatest legacy we can leave isn't financial success but children who believe in their ability to create meaningful lives on their own terms.
