How do you encourage your teen son to dream about his future, pursue meaningful goals, and move forward with confidence? One powerful way may be simpler than you think: let him see you doing the same. As moms, we spend a lot of time helping our sons discover their interests, explore career possibilities, and prepare for adulthood. But what if our own willingness to learn, grow, and pursue a goal is part of the lesson? In this episode, we're discussing dreams, goal setting, faith, and taking action—even when you don't have everything figured out. Inspired by Marie Forleo's book Everything is Figureoutable, we'll explore how pursuing your own goals can encourage your son to pursue his, why clarity matters, and how small steps can lead to meaningful progress. You'll learn: ✔ Why your example may be one of your greatest parenting tools ✔ How pursuing your own goals can encourage your son to pursue his future ✔ Why action creates momentum when you're feeling stuck ✔ How goal setting helps bring clarity and focus ✔ What Scripture teaches about seeking God's guidance for the future ✔ How moms can "light the path" for their sons through growth and perseverance Scripture 📖 Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
