In this inspiring episode, Krishna Cart welcomes former student Helena Gabriel and her father, Charles Gabriel, to explore how intentional parenting, early academic exposure, and faith-based values helped shape Helena and her sister Antonia’s journeys—from gifted test prep in elementary school to elite high school programs like TJ and the Academies of Loudoun. Charles shares his coaching-style parenting approach, while Helena opens up about her path to discovering a passion for healthcare, leadership, and advocacy. Together, they reveal lessons in resilience, strategic thinking, and staying grounded in purpose. A must-listen for parents navigating how to support their child’s potential—academically, spiritually, and personally.
"Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
