About this listen
For years, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but now I finally understand why our family struggles in big systems.
We are not a fan of big organizations. And it has nothing to do with size… it has everything to do with being seen and valued.
From schools to sports, we have learned that our kids thrive in smaller environments where they are known, valued, and intentionally developed not treated like a number. Watching my daughter struggle in a massive sports organization while my son thrived in a small, hands-on one made this painfully clear.
And here’s the realization that hit me hardest: This is the same reason so many people choose to shop small.
Small businesses offer connection. They remember your name. They care about the outcome.
In this episode, I talk about: • Why big organizations often prioritize volume over value • How this shows up in youth sports and education • The emotional toll of watching your child be overlooked • And how this mirrors the way moms feel in large systems too
This episode is for any parent questioning whether “bigger” is really better and learning to trust that choosing smaller, more intentional spaces can make all the difference.
