97 | Raising Resilient Kids with Sara Burks

The Episode:

Sara Burks has worn a lot of hats—business owner, coach, teacher, and now Director of Partnerships and Education at The Boutique Hub—but the one she’s most proud of is Mom. In this episode, we dive into what it really looks like raising resilient kids in a world that often prioritizes hustle over home.

Sara shares how growing up on a fifth-generation farm shaped her values, how she and her husband have navigated parenting through the chaos of entrepreneurship, and why resilience isn’t something kids magically have—it’s something they grow, one tough moment at a time.

If you’ve ever wrestled with teaching grit, modeling balance, or just figuring out how to do it all without losing yourself in the process, this conversation is for you.
