In this episode, Jenna shares her approach to conscientious parenting — what she considers the cornerstone of raising her children. She reveals how, from the very beginning, she approached each of her children with the question: “Who are you?” Jenna talks about the importance of truly seeing her children for who they are, not who she might want them to be. She describes the sacred responsibility of nurturing their unique qualities and helping them grow into the best versions of themselves — a process that requires patience, attention, and a willingness to let go of expectations.
RuthAnn, who never had children but spent years as a devoted caregiver to her late husband, Lance, finds common ground with Jenna’s perspective. She shares how making Lance a priority—putting his needs first and being his strongest advocate—mirrored the dedication Jenna describes in parenting. Together, they explore how both caregiving and parenting call for deep empathy, advocacy, and the ability to put someone else’s well-being at the heart of daily life.
Through their conversation, RuthAnn and Jenna discover that, while their journeys may look different on the surface, the core values of love, attentiveness, and advocacy unite them in ways they never expected. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about the universal lessons found in caring for those we love.
