"How Do I Talk To My Kids About Work Without Making It EVERYTHING? Help!"
About this episode
How do you talk to your kids about work—without making them think their worth depends on it? In this episode, Jason and Nicole tackle one of the trickiest balancing acts of modern parenting: explaining your career in a way that’s honest but not overwhelming, inspiring but not pressure-packed. They explore how to navigate your child's questions about what you do, how to help them dream big in a world where industries are constantly evolving, and how to set boundaries around work without making them feel like they’re second place. If you’ve ever felt the guilt of closing your laptop after bedtime—or struggled to explain why “Zoom” isn’t a game—this one’s for you.
