Dr. Sherry Walling has spent years balancing life as a psychologist, entrepreneur, and parent. She’s married to a tech founder, has been immersed in the startup world for decades, and has raised two kids who’ve never known a traditional 9-to-5 household.
In this episode, she shares what she’s learned about raising resilient, adaptable kids in an entrepreneurial home—the good, the hard, and the unexpected.
She talks about:
How kids absorb resilience by watching their parents handle risk and uncertainty Why getting kids involved in the business builds confidence and independence The role of financial literacy in raising self-reliant kids How to instill a growth mindset that helps them tackle challenges head-on
Growing up in an entrepreneurial household can be a gift—not something kids have to navigate. When done well, it helps them think creatively, solve problems, and develop confidence in themselves.
