Do you have a long list of dreams—but no idea where to start? Parents often feel torn between wanting a meaningful, adventurous life…and the realities of raising kids, managing a home, and juggling responsibilities. How do you pick the right dream to pursue first—without sacrificing your marriage, health, or family? In today’s conversation, Greg and Rachel break down the exact five-step process they’ve used for 20+ years to chase bold, meaningful goals while raising seven kids, traveling to over 60 countries, homeschooling, and building a business. You’ll learn how to prioritize your dreams, avoid sacrifices that damage what matters most, and identify the “first step” that naturally unlocks momentum for every other goal. Whether you’re overwhelmed by possibilities or unsure how to start, this episode will help you get clarity, build confidence, and make meaningful progress toward the life you actually want—one small step at a time. Key Takeaways ✅ Write every dream down — clarity comes from seeing your full list on paper. ✅ Follow your intuition and repeated nudges — they’re often guideposts toward your best future. ✅ Aim for alignment — choose the dream that makes the other dreams easier. ✅ Consider urgency — some dreams (like traveling with kids) have a limited window. ✅ Protect the core areas — never sacrifice marriage, parenting, health, or spirituality to chase a goal. ✅ Morning routines fuel everything — they give you the energy, clarity, and stability to pursue big goals. ✅ Forward motion reveals the path — obstacles show you where to start and what to fix first. ✅ Dreams require identity growth — you become the person who can achieve the dream by pursuing it. MEMORABLE QUOTES 🗣 “You don’t have to see the whole path—you just have to take the first step.” 🗣 “Any meaningful dream requires you to grow into the person who can achieve it.” 🗣 “You can’t pursue big goals while sacrificing your marriage, health, or kids.” 🗣 “Write it all down. Clarity comes through the act of writing.” 🗣 “If you step forward, the next step reveals itself.” 🗣 “Some dreams won’t matter later—and some can’t wait.” Chapters 00:00 Pursuing Big Dreams with Family 01:29 The Importance of Prioritization 05:39 Holistic Approach to Goals 11:58 Writing Down Your Dreams 16:53 Intuition and Signs in Goal Pursuit 19:23 The Journey of Homesteading and Property Ownership 19:53 Following Your Interests as a Guidepost 22:04 The Importance of Genuine Interests 24:27 Researching and Learning as a Pathway 26:43 The Ready, Fire, Aim Approach 28:39 Defining Success and Wealth 29:54 Deciding Which Dream to Pursue RESOURCES: Let us help you in your extraordinary family life journey. • How We Raised 7 Well-Adjusted Kids (https://welladjusted.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/) - Without Yelling, Tantrums, Punishments or Power Struggles (+ get THE CHECKLIST: Things We Do Every Day to Raise Well-Adjusted Kids) • Rachel’s ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠ (https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/courses/ambitious-well-read-mom-booklist) • Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠ (https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/courses/greg-denning-booklist) • Join the 12-Week Habits Challenge (http://teens.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/) for parents of kids 13+ • Don’t miss out on the Extraordinary Parent Mentoring Method (https://parenting.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Enrollment%20open%21%21%20%F0%9F%8E%89%F0%9F%8E%89%F0%9F%8E%89&utm_campaign=Parenting%20launch%20Enrollment%20Open%20%28Email%20%235%29) class! • Get Greg’s NEW Formidable Family Man BOOK (https://ulxksbw3zo14.swipepages.net/ffmbook) ! • Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠ (https://courses.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/courses/family-systems-charts) • Get Rachel’s Extraordinary Family Life Planner (https://extraordinaryfl.samcart.com/products/extraordinary-life-planner) • Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ (https://instagram.com/worldschoolfamily) or ⁠@greg.denning⁠ (https://instagram.com/greg.denning)

Are you trying to set teen boundaries without your child calling you “controlling” or “the worst parent ever”? If you want your teen to live by high standards—around tech, food, friends, habits, and lifestyle—you can’t just make it your standard and enforce it. It has to become their standard. In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down exactly how they helped their own teens buy in so deeply that they now say things like, “I’m not putting that garbage in my body,” or “I don’t waste my life on that.” Instead of rules and power struggles, they show you how to prioritize relationship over rules, lean on unconditional love, and teach the laws that govern health, happiness, success, and addiction—so your kids see for themselves where certain choices lead. When teens understand the why behind your standards, they stop feeling controlled and start choosing those standards for themselves. You’ll also hear how the Dennings have intentionally made real life more compelling than video games or junk food—often inviting friends along for the ride—so the “different” lifestyle isn’t a punishment, it’s an upgrade. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I hold the line without wrecking the relationship?” this conversation will give you a new framework: less control, more conviction—and a family standard that everyone owns. 🎉 Enrollment is now open for our Winter 2026 Habits for a Successful Life Online Class for Teens →https://www.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/pages/habits-for-a-successful-life-online-class-for-teens Key Takeaways ✅ It can’t be my standard; it has to become our standard as a family, or teens will always feel controlled. ✅ Prioritizing the relationship over the rules makes high standards easier to hold and easier for teens to accept. ✅ Unconditional love is the foundation, but standards and boundaries are still essential—just not weaponized. ✅ Focus less on control and correction, and more on conviction, conversion, and clear “why’s” behind your standards. ✅ Treat standards like universal laws (like gravity)—not arbitrary parent rules—so kids see cause and effect for themselves. ✅ You must live the standard first. If your life looks dull, stressed, or unhealthy, your teen won’t want what you’re selling. ✅ Make your family life more attractive than the alternatives—adventures, shared projects, real-world fun beat screens. ✅ Expect teens to experiment and compare—then help them notice how they feel after different choices. Memorable Quotes 🗣 “It can’t be my standard I enforce on my kids. It has to be our standard.” 🗣 “If we don’t live the message, we suck as the messenger.” 🗣 “The goal isn’t to make your child do what you want—it’s to help them want it for themselves.” 🗣 “Tell me your habits and I’ll tell you your future.” 🗣 “We’re not the creators of the rules—we’re the teachers of the laws that already exist.” 🗣 “When the relationship is fantastic, it’s easy to hold a high standard.” 🔔 Don’t miss more parenting insights—subscribe now: https://yt.openinapp.co/GDYT www.FormidableFamilyMan.com RESOURCES: Let me help you in your journey to becoming a more purpose-driven family Leader—building stronger relationships, intentional parenting, and creating your Extraordinary Family Life.
