The Millionaire Mother

What if the goal isn't to build a business you'll work in forever?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with exited founder and entrepreneur Alisha Pennington to unpack one of the most overlooked topics in women's entrepreneurship: business exits.
While over half of businesses in America are women-owned, only 1.34% of women will ever sell, transfer, or successfully exit their company. Alisha believes the reason isn't a lack of business knowledge or financial literacy. It's something much deeper.
Together, we explore the identity, worthiness, and emotional attachment that keep so many women tied to businesses they've already outgrown, and why building a company that can thrive without you may be one of the most liberating things you ever do.
Whether you're scaling a multimillion-dollar company, building a personal brand, or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, this conversation will challenge how you think about ownership, freedom, legacy, and what it truly means to create wealth as a woman.

What if the exhaustion so many mothers experience isn't because they're doing motherhood wrong, but because they've been disconnected from what is biologically normal?
In this episode, Cait sits down with Brittany Chambers, founder of Goodnight Moon Child and creator of the Integrative Infant Sleep Framework, to explore the intersection of infant sleep, attachment science, neuroscience, maternal intuition, and the cultural narratives shaping modern motherhood.
Together, they unpack the messages many mothers receive about independence, sleep training, and what it means to be a "good mother," while examining what both science and ancestral wisdom reveal about the mother-baby relationship.
This conversation challenges conventional beliefs, invites curiosity over judgment, and offers a powerful reminder that mothers may be far more equipped than they've been led to believe.
