And no, it's not your kids' approval.

They don't say "good job, Mom." They roll their eyes.

But they see.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲:

Your teenagers will never admit you inspire them. But when you go all in on your med spa dreams, they're learning that fear is supposed to be part of the process.

My daughter watched me leave corporate stability to build my practice. Rolled her eyes when I talked about "building something bigger."

Six months later? She's reselling clothes online and became the nail art expert among her friends.

My son saw me posting daily about body contouring—even when I felt stupid. "Mom, nobody's on Facebook," he'd say.

"I'm not sharing for you and your friends' feedback."

Then he built 78K TikTok followers in 30 days. Because he learned consistency from watching me.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

What they say: "You're embarrassing"

What they absorb: Courage looks like showing up anyway

What they say: "Why do you work so much?"

What they learn: Dreams require sacrifice

What they say: Nothing

What they see: Everything

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 "𝘄𝗵𝘆" 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻—𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲—𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲?

For not raising your prices?

For not hiring that next provider?

For not going all in on YOUR vision?

They need to see you bet on yourself. Watch you fail and pivot. Witness what commitment looks like when the waiting room is empty.

Your comfort zone teaches them to play small.

Your excuses become their ceiling.

Your fear becomes their inheritance.

But your courage? That becomes their permission slip.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:

Share below: What's ONE thing you've been putting off in your business because you're afraid?

Then tell us what example that's setting for whoever's watching you.

Because someone is always watching. And they're learning whether dreams are worth the discomfort.
