In this special 100th episode of the Creating Sunshine Podcast, I’m joined by my two favorite people in the world—my daughters, Emma and Bella—to celebrate how far this journey has come over the last two and a half years. We talk about what “creating sunshine” means in real life, what they’ve learned from watching me take risks and build a dream, and the behind-the-scenes moments you don’t get to hear on the mic.

Emma shares her hilarious (and very honest) take on what it’s like living with a multi-passionate mom who’s always brainstorming new ideas, plus the confidence lesson she learned from auditioning for her school musical. Bella tells the sweet story of being “Celebrity Student,” showing her talent first, and inspiring other kids to be brave—plus her best confidence tip: just go for it while you still can.

If you’ve ever wondered how your dreams impact your family (or you’re a mom building something meaningful), this episode is a reminder that your kids are watching—and they’re learning courage, kindness, and what it looks like to keep going.

In this episode, we cover:

• Celebrating 100 episodes of the Creating Sunshine Podcast
• How Emma and Bella describe “creating sunshine” (bright, happy moments)
• What’s changed in our family since I became self-employed
• Behind-the-scenes reality of recording with kids (and technical hiccups)
• Lessons on taking risks: “Just do it” and “just go for it”
• A confidence story from Bella: being Celebrity Student and inspiring others
• Emma’s mindset going into her Alice in Wonderland musical audition
• Kindness, the golden rule, and not being “booty people”

Favorite quotes:

• “Creating sunshine means finding happy moments in the things you already do.”

• “Treat people the way they want to be treated.”
