This week on Unleash Your Purpose, we’re diving deep into the tension between technology and intentional parenting with our incredible friends, Kyndle and Drew Cottrell. We’re talking about phones, boundaries, and building a legacy that lasts.
From practical tips like “no phones until driving” to the emotional and spiritual journey of protecting kids’ hearts and minds, Drew and Kyndle Cottrell share years of experience navigating these challenges. They explore how removing technology opens up space for deeper community, real-life connection, and intentional growth—not just for kids but for families.
🎙 Key Highlights:
- Why they say “no” to phones (and “yes” to communication with purpose).
- The impact of intentional choices on kids’ emotional growth and resilience.
- Creating a family legacy: What it takes to raise kids who thrive in today’s world.
- A vision for multi-generational living and what it means for the future of family.
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to set boundaries around technology—or dreamed of raising a family that stands out from the crowd—this conversation will inspire and challenge you. Drew and Kyndle's honesty, wisdom, and faith shine through every moment.

This week on Unleash Your Purpose, Sara and I are diving deep into our foster care and adoption journey, sharing the raw, unfiltered truth. This episode isn’t just another talk on parenting—it’s a personal look into 10 things we wish we’d known before we stepped into the world of foster care and adoption.
Let’s be real: parenting 11 kids (yes, 11!)—from toddlers to 20-somethings—has been the wildest ride. Nine of our kids came to us through foster care, and with each one, we’ve learned a whole lot about grace, resilience, and the power of setting boundaries. Whether it’s adapting to the expectations, handling the system’s quirks, or finding joy in small wins, these lessons go beyond any parenting book.
In this episode, we’re getting real about the emotional highs and the brutal lows, from celebrating the little things like family pumpkin carving to tackling the challenges of being a “buffer” between our kids and a system that often seems out of touch. If you’re considering foster care, adoption, or just want a glimpse of what this life really looks like, this episode is for you.
It’s more than a list—it’s our heart and soul poured out. We’re sharing tips for anyone walking this journey, advice for embracing each kid as they are, and encouragement for those moments when it’s tough to see the big picture.

This episode is packed with everything from our kids' unexpected reactions, to chaotic backstage moments, and yes—a pretty incredible surprise at the end that left our whole family speechless. Ever wonder what it’s like when two- and three-year-olds start melting down on national TV? Or when you’re trying to answer questions with a bone-dry mouth in front of a live audience? We lived it, and now we’re sharing it all with you!

Ever had one of those "please-let-this-not-be-happening" moments? Well, buckle up, because today, I'm spilling the beans (or should I say, the "treat") on one of my most embarrassing moments.
Picture this: My wife and I had just picked up our son from…yep, prison. It was a day of delays, anxiety, and emotional eating that culminated in…let’s just say, an “unfortunate incident” right before a big work meeting. So there I was, the CEO of a company, leading a cleaning day with my entire team, trying to keep my “situation” on the down low. But with no water, no AC, and a very suspicious smell following me around, it was two hours of pure survival mode.
This one’s not just for laughs—it’s proof that life keeps you humble in the wildest ways. So if you think your day’s off to a rough start, trust me, I’ve been there…and maybe a bit beyond. 😂

In this episode of the Unleash Your Purpose Podcast, Ryan Senters sits down with author, mentor and friend, Jeremy Pryor, to dive deep into the heart of family, legacy, and faith. Jeremy’s approach to family isn’t about following modern trends; it’s about returning to ancient, time-tested methods that prioritize multi-generational relationships, purpose, and a shared mission. He’s all about challenging the Western ideal of the “nuclear family” by exploring why family teams grounded in strong values are the key to a thriving legacy.

Failure is the best teacher, but how often do we really embrace it—especially as parents? In this episode of the Unleash Your Purpose Podcast, Ryan dives deep into the importance of teaching our kids to fail well. Sharing personal stories of failure, like almost flunking out of graduate school and early marriage struggles, Ryan reminds us that being a vulnerable parent teaches resilience. Kids don’t need perfect parents; they need real ones who can show them how to handle adversity.
With practical tips for fostering a growth mindset, Ryan encourages us to shift the focus from results to effort and persistence. You’ll also learn five actionable strategies to help your children see failure as a stepping stone to success.
So, when’s the last time you failed?

Parenting in today’s digital age is more challenging than ever. With smartphones in every pocket and social media constantly at our kids' fingertips, it’s no wonder we’re seeing skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and social isolation in today’s youth. So how do we, as parents, help our kids build real relationships and learn resilience in a tech-saturated world?
In this episode of the Unleash Your Purpose podcast, Sara and I dive into the heart of these issues. We share practical tips that have worked in our family—from setting strict screen time limits to encouraging tech-free family days—and explore how the "phone-based childhood" is impacting our kids' mental health. Plus, we discuss the latest research from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation and offer strategies for parents who want to regain control of their family’s tech habits.
If you’re concerned about the effects of technology on your kids and want to help them grow into strong, connected, and resilient adults, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play now and take action for your family’s future!

If you’re looking for a real conversation that will challenge your mindset and get you fired up, you’ve got to check out this episode of Unleash Your Purpose. I sat down with my good friend Timmy Ham, aka I Am Sloth, a guy who's breaking the mold by combining his love for both art and athletics. We dive deep into his journey—from a pro athlete and a corporate marketer to a full-time artist, working with major brands like Nike, Casey Neistat and Gary Vaynerchuk.
But here's the kicker: Timmy didn’t just stumble into success. He talks about getting laid off, making a bold decision to invest everything he had into his art, and raising $20,000 in his first Kickstarter. Now, he’s carving his own path in an industry that didn’t even exist before he built it. We also talk about balancing business with family, the mindset shifts that come with that, and how being intentional with your time can shape your future.
Trust me, if you’ve ever felt like you're stuck between two worlds—whether it's pursuing your passion while keeping up with life’s responsibilities—this episode will hit home. Click play and get inspired to chase your own purpose with no apologies.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of your past impacting your present, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt conversation, I dive deep into one of the most critical aspects of parenting—healing from the wounds we carry so that we don’t pass them on to our kids.
I open up about my own journey, from growing up in a single-parent home to the deep-seated pain of feeling “not enough,” and how those wounds almost derailed my own family life.
We talk about how adverse childhood experiences (ACES) and generational trauma can shape us in ways we don’t even realize, often leading to unhealthy patterns in adulthood. But here's the thing: while your past may not be your fault, healing from it is your responsibility. And when you do the hard work of healing, you don’t just change your life—you change the legacy you pass down to your kids.
This episode isn’t just about my story; it’s about the hope and freedom that comes from forgiveness and self-discovery. If you’re a parent or someone wanting to break generational patterns, you can’t miss this one. Click play, and let’s unpack this journey together.
