  • 001: Don't Just Teach Your Kids to Set Goals, Teach Them to Do This by Kalen Bruce

    Kalen Bruce of Freedom Sprout on not teaching your kids to set goals, but teaching them to do this instead.

    Episode 001: Don't Just Teach Your Kids to Set Goals, Teach Them to Do This by Kalen Bruce of Freedom Sprout on Parenting

    Kalen Bruce created Freedom Sprout to fill a void. He heard too many conversations about how “they don't teach finance in schools.” It took years for him to stop complaining about it and do something about it. He has five kids, so him and his wife have to get five adults into the world with a solid knowledge of finances. The ultimate goal and vision of Freedom Sprout: To sprout a future of financial freedom for 1,000,000 children.

  • 274: The Week in the Life of a Magical Mama
    Did you know you’re a magical mama and you’re making magic all the time in your life?
    Well, you are. In this episode, I decided to let you in on a week of my life and share some of what I like to call “magical moments.” From my recent travels to Boston, time with Maya, being an awesome wife and taking a pause for self-care, I wanted to let you in on all of this because 1: it’s fun and 2: maybe it’ll spark some ideas for you on how you’re creating a bunch of magic in your life.

  • 273: I Release My Attachment to Ex-Lovers
    Do you feel any sort of residual frustration around exes?
    I don’t know about you, but I’ve sometimes felt the emotional aftershocks of relationships past. Whether it’s been baggage that has shown up in my current relationship or disappointment around the type of communication we’ve had since our breakups, it hasn’t served me.
    So I’m here now to release the rest of my attachment, expectation and any lingering victim stuff I have around my former lovers.

  • 272: From the Trenches of Motherhood: Lessons From Toddler (and Mama) Tantrums
    What do you do when your child has a tantrum?
    I don’t even like that word honestly, but I’m using it here for the purpose of context. Lately, my two-year-old Maya has been testing out her range of emotions, and exploring the responses that exercising those emotions might provoke.
    I’m gonna be real with you - it’s been a challenging past day and a half. I got a little bit of a cold, puked, parented from the couch, got screamed and kicked at multiple times...so in the midst of Maya working through her feelings, I came very close to losing my sh**.
    So come with me on this little journey. This is just me sharing some tales from the trenches of motherhood, and how I used my resources, the village, to get my power back and do what I do (be a badass goddess mama!).

  • 271: Don't Be Like the Crickett
    Do we pass on our limiting beliefs to our children?
    I say yes. Now what happens after that - how they choose to process and potentially let go of them or create something else with them - that’s the beautiful thing of self-awareness and choice. Just like a lot of us are probably working on unpacking and releasing stuff from our parents. Once we’re aware, we have the responsibility and choice.
    This Momtra features a little story about a crickett. Moral of the story - don’t be the crickett.

  • 270: The Bull**** and Downsides of Self-Help and Personal Development
    Do you ever get overwhelmed by all the self-help stuff? 
    “Live your best life!” “Find your greatness” “Be your most authentic self!”
    Sometimes it’s enough to make you throw your hands up in the air in an epic WTF emoji fashion.
    This episode is me, just taking a few moments to give some unscripted perspective on the exhaustion that can come from constantly working on yourself, and how some of it can feel like bull***. 
    How do we move beyond the frustrations and pitfalls and just be happy and love ourselves? Let’s dive in!

  • 268: I Want To Make You Laugh!
    Who doesn’t love to laugh?
    Laughing is so therapeutic for me. So I want you to laugh as a part of the affirmation, inspiration and motivation of today’s Momtra episode.
    I’m sharing a few funny moments from my life of motherhood and marriage. Maybe you can relate or maybe it makes you think about some of your own funny moments as you carry them with you throughout the week.
