If you’ve ever wondered how to nurture a healthy in-law relationship—or how to raise kids, plants, and a family dream all at once—this episode is for you. Becky sits down with her daughter-in-law, Kaitlyn Brouwer, to talk about growing things: children, gardens, relationships, and mindsets. Together they explore how planting positive thoughts can transform perfectionism, stress, and self-doubt into confidence, joy, and growth.

Kaitlyn Brouwer is a homesteader, musician, and mother of three who believes growth starts from the inside out. Whether she’s nurturing her garden, raising confident kids, or building strong in-law relationships, Kaitlyn brings courage and creativity to everything she does. She’s a Sendy Mom through and through—willing to try new things, embrace imperfection, and grow something beautiful in the process.

Key Takeaways:

• Plant positivity. The thoughts you nurture grow into your reality—especially when facing performance anxiety or self-doubt.
• Perfection isn’t the goal. Teaching kids to try (and fail) builds courage and resilience.
• Risk-takers and rule-followers both need balance.
• Encourage curiosity and confidence.
• You’re not special. Take a lesson from Bluey
• Growth happens in messiness. You can find joy and grief side by side.
• Start small. A window box garden—or a five-minute morning routine—can change your mindset.
• Learn as you go. Community classes, hobbies, and homesteading all remind us it’s okay to be a beginner.
• Do it with love. Even dishes and daily chores can become meaningful when done with gratitude.
• Healthy in-laws grow from communication. Honest conversations plant deep roots of trust.
