How Francine Juhlin Builds Confident Kids and Empowered Parents Through Story | EP033

You can’t pour from an empty cup—and you definitely can’t raise confident kids if you’re running on fumes. Talking with Francine Juhlin lit me up with the reminder that self-care and storytelling are powerful tools, not just for adults, but for the kids in our lives too. Francine’s journey from military squad leader to children's author and holistic coach proves how empathy, structure, and fun can transform how we support the next generation. She shows us how to turn caregiving chaos into connection by including kids in the process, building self-esteem early, and giving ourselves permission to refill our own cups first.About Our Guest: Francine Juhlin, also known as Princess Francy, is a transformational leader, author, and speaker with a passion for empowering others.

I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.Connect with Me:https://www.deborahgreenhut.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahgreenhut01/Find my books hereThanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
