Jenny Watson: Balancing the Tension of Split Attention


Listen Later

How are you balancing your attention to the callings God has given you? 

In this episode, Jeff and Jenny discuss: 

  • Finding what lights you up and lets you serve others.
  • Serving your children to serve others.
  • Scaling and growth with a seasonal product.
  • Empowering mothers to help their families. 

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Everyone has different paths in life. Parenthood is not a death sentence to your entrepreneurial or mission dreams. 
  • Inviting babysitters into your family intentionally can help you disciple your children and help you serve your mission. 
  • Be on the same page with your spouse about stewarding in your family. 
  • Your family is not an obstacle or an anchor holding you back. But don’t let your dreams hold you back from building your family. 

  

"The balance that we're going to experience as women, between our business and our family, is not a problem to be solved, it's attention to be managed." —  Jenny Watson
