    Going Deeper: A New Way to Teach Sports | Mike Schroder

    Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast.

    Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Mike Schroder, the founder of Future Fans—a brand focused on helping kids connect with and enjoy sports. Mike’s journey started with a simple goal: he wanted to bond with his kids over sports but found that teaching them about football wasn’t as easy as he’d hoped. So, he created Future Fans to make learning about sports fun and engaging for kids. In our conversation, Mike opens up about the ups and downs of that journey, the power of intentional parenting, and how sports can bring families closer together. Plus, he shares the unique way Future Fans makes sports education accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

    Rest, Simplicity, & Soup: Nourishing Your Family with Ease & Intention | Kathi Lipp (EP358)

    What if instead of waiting for a long sabbatical, you could experience the healing benefits of rest every single week? In today’s episode, I'm joined by Kathi Lipp, author of *Sabbath Soup*, to explore the idea of a weekly sabbath—one day set aside for rest, renewal, and connecting with what truly matters. We discuss how simplifying meal planning can reduce decision fatigue, foster family connection, and even get kids excited about trying new foods. Join us as we uncover how a weekly day of rest can transform your busy life into a more peaceful one.
