Episode 100 is a milestone conversation for High Performance Parenting. Greg and Jacquie Francis sit down to model something most families rarely do well: stop, reflect, celebrate wins, and then intentionally plan what’s next.

Through humor, family stories, faith conversations, and real examples from their own home, they walk parents through:

• Why celebrating wins matters for kids
• How reflection builds gratitude and confidence
• Why families forget how much they’ve actually accomplished
• How to talk through goals without pressure or overwhelm
• Why faith, leadership, and intentional environments shape long-term growth

This episode isn’t about hustle or perfection — it’s about perspective, gratitude, and moving forward with clarity and faith.

What do you do when a situation in your home isn’t healthy — even though your intentions were good?

• How to evaluate environment, safety, and peace in your home

• Why discipleship must start at home
• How to evaluate whether a church aligns with your family values
• Why consistency matters more than programs
• How traditions and rhythms shape kids’ faith
• The role of serving together as a family
