On today's episode of the Powerful Parenting Journey podcast, Stephanie talks to Eileen Wilder, a devoted mother of three and a dynamic influencer on and off the stage. She is known for positively impacting numerous lives and helping people achieve success.

Eileen opens up about her parenting style and how she measures her success as a mother. She then sheds light on the transformative power of exposing her children to seminars, conferences, and outings that foster meaningful conversations and enriching learning experiences. Addressing the notion of being labeled a "lazy parent," Eileen shares a valuable coaching tip that empowers children to explore their own decision-making capability when asking for advice.

The discussion shifts to Eileen's children, Audrey (16) and Harry (14), and their entrepreneurial aspirations. She talks about their distinct paths and how their entrepreneurial ventures align with their passions and goals.

Eileen discusses the importance of self-care, even with limited resources, and how it allows parents to have the energy to show up for their families. They discuss the value of outsourcing household tasks and responsibilities and emphasize that women (and men) should not feel guilty about outsourcing tasks.

Regarding the challenges of raising children in the digital age, Eileen recounts personal experiences in her family that led her to make the momentous decision to confiscate her daughter's cell phone. She candidly shares the profound positive impact this change has had on her daughter's well-being and the family business.

Eileen introduces her son Harry's course "BIZ KID BOOTCAMP," which aims to get kids excited about business ideas through examples and experimentation.

Join Stephanie and Eileen for an insightful conversation about Eileen's approach to being a good mother, fostering independence from an early age, and raising children in an entrepreneurial environment.
