Formidable Family Men with Greg Denning
#312 Ambitious Moms: Big Dreams & Little Kids — Navigate The Baby Years Without Losing Yourself
Raising tiny humans while holding on to big dreams? You’re not alone.
In this honest and hope-filled episode, Rachel and Greg Denning — parents of 7, world travelers, and family coaches — get real about what it takes to nurture early childhood development while staying anchored in purpose and passion. If you're in the trenches of baby and toddler life, wondering whether your dreams will ever fit into the chaos, this episode is your permission slip to slow down and trust the process.
Rachel shares her raw experience of building a business with babies on her hip, while Greg offers a father’s perspective on creating emotional security during those crucial early years. Together, they reveal why the early season of parenting matters so much more than you think — and how it can actually fuel your long-term goals.
You'll hear:
- Why emotional connection is the foundation of healthy development
- Tips for gentle night weaning, co-sleeping transitions, and finding balance
- How to pursue goals without burnout or guilt
- What they’d go back and tell their younger selves as new parents with big visions
You don’t have to give up your dreams — but you may need to hold them differently for a while.
