What happens when the things you’re obsessed with as a kid end up shaping your entire life?Today’s episode is the definition of the perfect snowball effect and it started at just 11 years old for Kaitlynn .

Kaitlynn Blyth, founder of Happy Day Play, shares the full-circle story of how reading What to Expect as a kid, loving developmental milestones, and paying attention to the “little things” turned into a fast-growing business helping families connect through play, curiosity, and community.

We talk about:

• Why our childhood interests are often the first clues to our purpose
• How she grew Happy Day Play from a blog → to social → to full classes
• The moment a video went viral and changed everything
• The power of following your gut (even when it feels wild)
• Why parents are the real experts on their kids
• The role community plays in early childhood and family wellbeing
• And what’s next as she explores franchising Happy Day Play

This episode is a reminder that nothing is random and that every step, bump, or opportunity no matter how small play a role in your journey. And sometimes, your snowball starts rolling long before you ever realize it.
