The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including education, the role of social media, and practical steps for parents to prepare their children for active citizenship.
Key Takeaways:
1. Importance of Civic Education:
- Lindsey emphasizes the need for parents to step in where schools may fall short in providing comprehensive civic education.

The book also addresses the mental health and college admission benefits of being an informed and engaged citizen.
3. Starting the Conversation at Home:
- Lindsey suggests that parents initiate political discussions with their children by asking open-ended questions like, โWhat have you heard about this?โ This approach helps avoid confrontations and encourages a healthy exchange of ideas, especially when dealing with information from social media platforms like TikTok.
4. Social Media and Political Content:
- The conversation highlights the challenge of dealing with political content on social media. Lindsey recommends that parents engage with their children by asking them to share what theyโre seeing online and discussing it together, fostering critical thinking and a better understanding of different perspectives.
5. Preparing for College and Beyond:
- Parents are encouraged to help their children register to vote, understand the different levels of government, and read the U.S. Constitution to better prepare them for active citizenship and the college experience. These steps can also ease the transition to college by fostering socialization and involvement in community activities.
6. Practical Tips for Parents:
- Lindsey provides actionable advice for parents, such as helping their teens register to vote early, encouraging them to participate in local politics, and facilitating conversations about political processes. These efforts help build the skills needed for college success and lifelong civic engagement.
Closing Thoughts:
Shellee and Lindsey conclude the episode by encouraging parents to take an active role in their childrenโs civic education. By fostering an understanding of government and politics early on, parents can help their children become informed, engaged citizens who are well-prepared for college and beyond.

About Leah:
Leah Rae Getts, and her husband, Todd, are the owners of DigitalTrailblazer.com and specialize in helping experts, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs to create, launch, sell, and scale profitable online courses and coaching programs. They started their online business in 2016 with no experience - Leah a previous nurse, and Todd, a band teacher. Despite their lack of business & marketing experience, they were able to build a full-time income online and retired from their jobs in 2017 to be home with their children. They created their first online course in 2018 and quickly scaled their course sales to multiple 6 figures a month within only 6 months. They are now award-winning marketers and sought-after speakers, having been recognized for their success in the industry by multiple organizations, and featured on stage, in podcasts, as well as in various interviews, and articles. Her expertise ranges from creating an irresistible offer, to funnel design and creation, to paid and organic traffic strategies, to content creation, lead generation, copywriting, appointment setting & closing, managing a sales team, and more. Leah is used to doing lots of fun, engaging live video & story telling with their audience so sheโll be a fun guest for your audience :) And on top of all of the 'normal' stuff, we are faith-based, family-oriented people, who look to help those who can make a positive impact in the world, do it bigger & better, so we can positively impact millions of lives, by just focusing on our thousands.
