I’ve been so impressed with the parenting success principles I’ve been learning from Nicholeen Peck, I felt compelled to help her get her message out to more families. Her episode on a BBC reality show in England made such a powerful, unexpected impact that people across the country are now begging her to come back and offer free parenting workshops.
If you haven’t seen her episode yet, you need to. Two extremely rebellious teenagers from England were sent to live under her family’s strict rules in Utah for 10 days—with a cameraman documenting every moment. What was expected to be an explosive freak show turned into something miraculous. Even the producers were stunned by the transformation. And it all happened in just 10 days.

After seeing that episode, I signed up for her 10-week implementation course and was so excited—because my children aren’t even rebellious like those teens! I thought, If she can help those kids in 10 days, imagine what I could do in 10 years by applying just a few of her simple principles.
As I got to know Nicholeen better, I learned about her goal to raise enough money for her family to return to England and spend a month teaching free parenting classes across the country. That’s no small feat. And while her book is very popular, I know from experience that book sales alone often don’t cover the cost of an international trip for an entire family.
I believe in her mission so deeply that I offered to help raise funds for the cause. That’s why we’re hosting a special webinar together:
How to Fulfill Your Mission and Keep Family Balance
📅 Date: Thursday, August 22, 2013
🕖 Time: 7:00 PM MDT (Don’t worry—it’ll be recorded if you can’t make it live)
🌐 Location: Special TSG Webinar page on Nicholeen’s new site
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I stopped doing events back in 2011 to focus on my family. I even paused doing teleclasses because, frankly, they still required a lot of attention. (Big thanks to Shantel McBride for keeping our Genius Bootcamps alive during my sabbatical.)
But this webinar? This isn’t business. I’m not being paid, receiving commissions, or compensated in any way. I’m doing it because I believe in strengthening families worldwide. That’s my focus right now.
I hope you’ll join us in helping Nicholeen take her message back to England. So far, she’s scheduled to be in London, Manchester, Lancaster, Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, Glasgow, Liverpool, Nottingham, and several other locations—plus a television appearance. She’s moving forward in faith that the resources will come together, and she’s using the same principles from The Jackrabbit Factor to see it through.
A Few Fun Connections Between Me and Nicholeen:
-
Nicholeen began sharing her message 13 years ago.
-
I began sharing my message 13 years ago.
-
Her worldwide exposure began in 2009 on a reality show in England.
-
Mine began in 2009, when a man from England featured my work on an Australian reality show.
-
Her exposure led to media and speaking opportunities in China.
-
Mine led to my books being published in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
-
We both spoke at the TJEd Conference in Salt Lake City in 2010, but didn’t meet or hear each other’s talks.
-
I contributed a chapter to a 2012 parenting book centered around Nicholeen’s work—still not knowing who she was.
-
We share the same spiritual beliefs, and we both homeschool our children.
As we’ve gotten to know each other, it’s felt like we’ve been living parallel lives. We’ve both faced the unique challenges of having a message to share, while striving to keep family first. And through it all, we've experienced the kind of serendipitous encounters that keep propelling us forward.
That’s why we’re excited to come together and share what we’ve learned—along with guest speaker Jed Norwood, who will offer insights on how he balances his life’s mission (helping families prepare for future crises) with his family responsibilities.
