In this episode, Kaley sits down with Jackie Brown, founder of Dahlia's Make a Difference Day, and it's a conversation about redefining what success actually looks like. They talk about why it's okay to not want marriage, what it took for Jackie to step into life as a stay-at-home mom despite growing up with high-achieving parents, and how she's stayed hands-on in her kids' education without losing herself in the process. Kaley and Jackie dig into building a passion project from scratch, advice for anyone who's ever wanted to write but didn't know where to start, and why evolving is the whole point. If you've ever felt boxed in by what success is supposed to look like, this one's for you!

Jackie Brown is the Founder of Dahlia's Make a Difference Day, a Minneapolis-based initiative combining children's literacy, nature, and community impact. Jackie lives with her husband, their two children, their cat, and a garden full of dahlias with bunnies who can't stay away from them. She believes young people have real power to transform the communities they love, and built Dahlia's Make a Difference Day around that belief, creating hands-on ways for kids to connect with reading, nature, and their neighborhoods. Because of this, Jackie has stayed deeply involved in her own children's education, treating literacy and community connection as something to be lived, not just taught.
