A Moms Passion Project

Do you already have a goal set for early 2026? Or maybe you've been thinking of one and saying, nah, there's no way. Well, I invite you to be a guest on this show.. for 90 days! Maybe your lacking accountability, support, or motivation but regardless, I want you to share your story here on this podcast. Tune in to get more info!

I met Bobbi a few years ago at a pop-up shop with her coffee truck and as a typical non-coffee drinker, Doaky cold brew quickly became a regular stop for their half gallon. I am really excited to bring her on the podcast and hear about how it all started. What looks like an overnight success to the outsiders was actually alot of heart, grit, doubt, and support.

The most important gift you can give your child is to love your spouse. I'd even go as far to say that loving your spouse is more important than loving your kids. I explain why in this episode and how the quality of your marriage impacts your child's confidence. Plus, I give you two super specific and tangible ways to ensure your marriage stays a priority.

The 4 simplest words to live in with each season. The good, the hard, the waiting. I give you 3 tangible takeaways to ensure you live everyday with perspective.

It's undeniable the strength and courage Erika Kirk had at yesterdays memorial. From forgiveness to accepting the challenge she laid out for women, let us not allow the mundane tasks of our days allow us to grow numb and weary but to live to be the virtuous women she, and Jesus, are calling us to be.

It wasn't how he debated with college students or how he built a company from his parents garage into multi-million dollars (all of which I will also admired), but the way he talked about and treated his wife. The way he spoke about family. And of course, his unwavering belief in who Jesus was. I will never be able to articulate like Charlie, but I can be sure to live each day more like Charlie did.

The pivotal years - ages 10-14, are crucial years when it comes to developing confidence, leadership skills, and overall a healthy mindset. I first start off talking about a tradition we started in our family that has served us well when it comes to making an impact in those years. I then bring in a little bit of science to help us understand why it is that these years are a great opportunity to instill confidence, leadership, and mental health.

When the idea came up to create a few episodes around "parenting advice", that little, not so quiet voice inside my head said "who do you think you are to give parenting advice?" But for reasons only God knows, I hit record and shared the first parent hack we've found to be the most instrumental in creating kids to carry themselves with confidence to tackle whatever may come in their day. Is it foolproof? No. Does it solve all parental problems? No. Does it make us the best parents in the world? Arguably, possible (jk!) But I do think this episode will help you find ways to implement something similar in your home, whether you have a preK kiddo or a high schooler.

In today's episode, I touch on a topic that is crucial to your mental health. If that thing you are pouring your heart and soul into - whether it's your family, your work, your passion project - were to be stripped away from you tomorrow, who would you be? I answer this question and dive into the importance of remaining rooted deep in your core, who you are.

I get overwhelmed when all these fancy people talk about all the tips and tricks and tools they use to be "more productive". So here I am, sharing the ONE and only tool I use to ensure I hit my goals in the timeframe I set out. It takes less than 5 minutes and you'll be sure to check off the most important tasks on your to-do list without the overwhelm.

In this heartfelt episode of A Mom’s Passion Project, I open up about the challenges that come when pursuing a God-given dream. I share the powerful concept: What God creates, Satan counterfeits, and how that truth has shown up in my own journey — from running my nonprofit to launching Kid Biz Builder.We’ll talk about the importance of staying on guard and fiercely protecting your heart, your family, your reputation, and your integrity when walking in your calling. Adversity will come — but so will the opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more anchored in your purpose.As we step into Season 3, I’m excited to explore how A Mom’s Passion Project and Kid Biz Builder might merge into something even more impactful. Stick around and see how this unfolds!

Just a quick update post 100 day goal and one day away from the next 30 day goal. One thing I am learning more and more is to be detached from the outcome. That there is no failure or success, just information to help you do better the next time.

The title speaks for itself ;)

Like all moms, we get distracted, and life throws crazy curve balls our way every single day. So how do we remain focused? Or rather, how can we re-focus our time and energy back to the things we want. Like health, family, finances, and passion projects.

Now that our 100 Day Goal is coming to an end, I talk about what I've come up with for next steps and how to keep the momentum going with the next 35 day goal.

Doing hard things is a part of life. But when the valley's come, it's your job to overcome the struggle and keep moving forward.

A recap and celebration of Kid Biz Market!

After the chaos of post-covid learning, my friend, Rachel knew there had to be a better way to educate kids. So, she did something bold - she started her own school. In this episode, we dive into her journey from not knowing anything about how or where to start to purchasing a new property and growing her school massively in the past few years.

Whether is personal growth, career achievements, or simply overcoming obstacles, every step forward matters. Get ready for a dose of motivation to remind you that you're further along than you think - and your journey is worth celebrating. Be proud.

In a world that glorifies hustle and productivity, taking time off can feel like falling behind. Whether it's a week-long vacation, a long weekend, or just a day of intentional rest, the fear of losing momentum often keeps us pushing forward, sometimes to the point of exhaustion.But what if slowing down is actually the key to moving faster? In this episode, I explore the power of how pausing and resting can actually enhance your creativity and how stepping away can lead to breakthroughs in your passion projects.

What path does God want me to take? Often, we seek clarity on specific paths, wondering which road to take or decision to make. Sometimes it's about big decisions, and other times is just the small things. But what if God's ultimate plan is less about the exact path and more about who we become along the way? Join me as I delve into the truth that God's greatest desire is for us to reflect the character of Jesus in whatever path we choose.

This isn't your typical "Moms Passion Project" but I couldn't NOT bring Terra on the podcast to share her story. I loved following Terra along her journey when she and her family took to full time RV Traveling for not one, but two years. Although this story isn't about that (maybe she should come back on to share those stories!) but to be a witness, as if I had a front row seat, to see her transformation via social media was pretty powerful. Seeing the highlight reel of her story unfold on social media, I had so many questions. I'm grateful she agreed to get on the podcast to answer them as real and honest as possible. She doesn't shy away from the bad and the ugly. It's definitely a story you don't want to miss. Follow Terra on IG: https://www.instagram.com/weisslifejourney/

I've shared this stuff before in different ways on different social media channels and I ALWAYS get really great feedback so I thought it deserved a permanent place on the web. There's a lot of things I wish I would have stuck with - like never eating oreos again or reading a book every month, and nothing really ever stuck - but this one did and it's probably better than any other "habit" I could have created. Tune in and take notes cuz you'll want to implement something like it for your kiddos. Trust me.

Over the years, I've learned this same concept in different ways from a variety of mentors. The strategy is to determine was is that ONE main goal that if you accomplished it, you would also be checking off one, two, five, ten other goals in the process. So, how do you do that? In this episode I go into helping you figure out exactly what your domino goal is.

This story can NOT be missed! Natalie set out to complete a Rim 2 Rim 2 Rim (or R3 as people call it) which is roughly 43 miles and has you hiking in the day and most often through the night. Natalie shares all of the ups and downs of making the incredible trek through the unapologetic Canyon.

Today I share my top 3 tools I highly recommend helping simplify your passion project and also expedite your potential learning curve. From totally FREE to spending a little bit every month with a membership to the most expensive online course (with lifetime access), I share what I have personally used to help me learn more about HOW to pursue my passion projects. I loved recording this episode as it was a great reminder to myself just how much we have at our fingertips and that there should be zero excuse for not completing an idea or passion project.

You've had them - good coaches and bad coaches. Good teachers, bad teachers. You've been a great parent, and a not-so-great parent at times. These 3 traits or characteristics are ones you can learn to ensure you become the best (self) coach/parent you've ever been.

A beautiful story of stepping fully in to your passion despite the fears and self-doubt. Chaz and I met a few years ago as PTSO moms for our kids' school. I knew from the get-go that she was a special person. I've had a front row seat to seeing her passion for capturing moments in time start as just a side hobby and blow up into a full-on business. It's been an honor to witness, and I feel even more blessed to have her as a guest to share her story.

Often times what holds us back is not knowing how to start, and then "it" - that thing you've always wanted to do, gets put on the back burner and never flourishes. Not only is this bad for you, but it's bad for THEM! The people you were meant to reach, to serve, to bring your skills and talents to. So stop sitting on the sidelines, jump in, and follow these super simple steps to get moving in the right direction.

SEASON 2: My goal is to always provide helpful tips and tricks based on personal experience or that of a guest on the podcast. So today, I am giving you a look into a passion project I never thought I would actually deem to be passionate about but expect the unexpected with God leading the way! For the past two months since diving deep into my personal grocery spending, I have been able to save $600-$800/month on our grocery spending. Like WHAT?! I give you the 3 steps I took to get to where we are, and I don't see myself going back to the "old" ways of budgeting and meal planning ever again. I'd love to hear if you have a similar method or if you do something totally different. And! I give you a hint to the "next" thing towards the end so if you have experience with it or know someone.. help a mom out!

If you're someone who has been working on a passion project and you're ready to share it with more than just your mom, dad, and close family and friends - this episode is for you! I recently started incorporating the use of Pinterest to help spread my message about this podcast and what our future retreats have to offer, and my pinterest views went from 0 to over 45k MONTHLY. And the beautiful (and often unknow) part of using Pinterest is that it's an actual search engine and your content lives on forever. Unlike something on other social media platforms where people might see it, if you're lucky, for the first 24 hours. Dive into this episode with me and please reach out if you have questions about how this might work for you and your passion project!

A personal story in real time about what it's like - physically, mentally, emotionally - to be at the "half way" point of achieving a specific goal. I share my current state of what it's like being 6 weeks in to a 12 week training for a fitness competition. I share the good, the bad, the not so great yet amazing feelings of being so close to a goal, even when it started off super rocky due to a physical injury. I share WHY it's important to persevere despite the hard things because it will ultimately bring you joy and fulfillment. Tune in to hear more!
