Hey Family Brand folks! This week we’re super excited because Hailey Reidhead, the voice behind the "She’s a Lady Podcast," is here with us. Hailey isn't just a podcast host; she’s a hairstylist, a mom of two wonderful girls, and a huge advocate for empowering women through the thick and thin of life's journey.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: finding our identity in motherhood. It’s a journey that can feel like a rollercoaster at times, with its ups, downs, and unexpected turns. Hailey opens up about her personal experiences, sharing the real talk on how she navigates the shifting sands of identity that come with being a mom and a professional.

We get into the nitty-gritty of what it means to balance personal aspirations with the demands of motherhood. Hailey shares her path to maintaining her individuality while embracing the roles of wife and mother. It’s not just about finding balance but also about thriving in each aspect of life and remembering who you are beyond your roles.

Join us as we unpack these themes, offering insights and perhaps a bit of guidance for those of you wrestling with similar challenges. This conversation is for anyone looking to feel understood, inspired, or just a bit less alone in their journey. So grab a comfy seat, hit play, and let’s get into it together.

Hey Family Brand folks! Today, we're super excited to chat with Katie Kimball, who’s all about empowering kids through cooking and life skills. Katie, a mom of four and a wizard in the kitchen, has something really special lined up for us this summer—a Free Virtual Kids Summer Camp!

Katie’s journey started with her passion for teaching her own kids to cook, which blossomed into helping other families do the same. This summer, she’s taking it up a notch by offering a camp that’s packed with fun and useful activities, from cooking to gardening to tech skills.

The camp is not just about learning; it’s about growing confidence. Katie shares how gaining skills in one area can really boost a kid's confidence across the board. And let’s be real, who doesn’t want their kids to feel like they can take on the world?

So, what’s in store at the camp? It’s a mix of everything! Whether your kids are into crafting delicious dishes, fixing cars, or even managing their screen time, there’s something for everyone. The best part? It’s all online, so your family can join from anywhere.

Ready to sign up and make this summer a blast for your kids? Head over to the Kids Cook Real Food site and check out all the details. (Links Below!)

Let’s make this a summer to remember by giving our kids the gift of learning and confidence!

Hey Family Brand community, Chris and Melissa here! Today’s not just any day—it’s Tripp’s ninth birthday, and while we're celebrating, we’ve got a topic that’s been pressing on our hearts. We’re talking about something that could change our kids’ lives: understanding and believing in their inherent worth.

In our chat today, we dive deep into why kids today face more challenges than ever before—comparing themselves to a whole world online, not just their classmates. It’s tough, and it's why we think there's a real need to regularly affirm how much they matter.

We explore the "cool aunt and uncle effect," which shows that sometimes, these important messages can be heard better from someone other than mom and dad. It's one of the reasons we created our Family Brand Academy, to help families communicate the crucial messages of self-worth and identity effectively.

So, what can we do as families? It’s about more than just telling our kids they’re great; it’s about showing them they’re valued every single day. It's about being intentional in our conversations and actions, making sure our kids know they’re not just enough—they’re more than enough.

Join us by hitting play now, as we dive deep into these ideas and share practical tips on nurturing a positive, strong sense of self in our kids. Let's empower them together to face anything with confidence.

Ps, we would love to connect with you! Share how you’re reinforcing these values at home with us on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ourfamilybrand! Let’s keep this conversation going and build a community that lifts each other up. Here’s to a week of empowerment and celebrating the amazing potential of our families!
