Episode 26 - Do, Doing, Done : Motivating Your Kids (and Yourself) to Actually Get Things Done

Why is it so hard to get kids to follow through — even when they want to do the right thing? In this episode of The Business of Parenting Podcast, Jackie breaks down why motivation doesn’t come before action… motion does.

Using the simple but powerful Do → Doing → Done framework, you’ll learn how to turn vague expectations into clear steps, help kids stay engaged in the messy middle, and create meaningful closure that actually builds motivation over time. This episode is packed with practical tools, brain-based insights, and real-life strategies to help your kids — and you — get things done with less frustration and more confidence.

If you’re ready to replace nagging with momentum and build a family rhythm that works, this one’s for you.
