Burnt Pancakes: Momversations | Conversations for Imperfect Moms, Chats About Mom Life & Interviews with Real Mamas

What if our kids didn’t have to wait until adulthood to chase their dreams?
 In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with Krystal Popov, entrepreneur, founder of Futurepreneur, and the leading voice in America for raising kid entrepreneurs.
Krystal has built four businesses, including a seven-figure co-working space, and now she’s on a mission to help kids design, launch, and run real businesses today. We talk about why the traditional education-to-job pipeline is broken, how AI is changing what our kids will need to succeed, and what parents can do to raise confident, creative, problem-solving kids.
This is a must-listen for moms who are questioning the “normal” path and wondering how to better prepare their kids for a fast-changing world.
In This Episode, We Talk About:
Why kids don’t need to wait until adulthood to start businesses
The biggest problems with today’s education-to-career model
How entrepreneurial thinking builds confidence and independence
The connection between purpose, creativity, and kids’ mental health
How to swap doom scrolling for activities that build real skills

Today I’m joined by integrative fertility coach and former pharmacist Katie Wood, whose personal fertility journey completely transformed the way she supports women today.
After months of not conceiving, feeling dismissed by her OB-GYN, and searching for answers that traditional medicine couldn’t give her, Katie discovered the power of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and whole-body healing. That experience led her to conceiving and ultimately build a career helping women conceive naturally—with real support, not quick fixes.
In this episode, we talk about:
Katie’s emotional journey through delayed conception
How acupuncture and holistic medicine opened her eyes to the root-cause issues behind fertility struggles
The biggest gaps in how standard OB-GYN care handles early TTC concerns
Early signs your body may be out of alignment
How trauma, stress, and energy imbalances impact fertility
What an integrative, whole-body fertility plan actually looks like
Why “unexplained infertility” is often a misleading diagnosis
How Katie blends Western medicine, nutrition, TCM, and energetic healing
A real-life success story that shows what’s possible when women feel truly supported

Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey as I explore the origins and customs of some of our favorite Christmas traditions. Ever wondered why we decorate an evergreen tree, hang giant socks on our fireplace, or plant a mistletoe over our doorways? Or how about the stories behind Santa Claus and his reindeer, or the popularity of candy canes? This episode is packed with facts and stories that reveal the ancient roots and evolution of these beloved holiday symbols and rituals.

This week, I'm also taking a closer look at Christmas cards, and sharing our love for this warm and personal way of connecting during the festive season. Whether you're sending them out or receiving them, they're a reminder to pause and reflect amidst the holiday rush.

And remember, everyone makes mistakes, even during the holidays - yes, you might burn your first pancake, but that's all part of the festive fun. So, gather around the fireplace, sip on some hot cocoa, and join me for this  episode on Christmas traditions. We promise, it'll add an extra sprinkle of magic to your holiday season.

In today’s episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I'm diving into the world of holiday parenting, but not the toddler nap-time meltdown era. I'm talking about the teen and tween years, where emotions run high, expectations get complicated, and the holiday season suddenly feels like unfamiliar territory.
I’m sharing insights inspired by an incredible guide from CultivaTeen Roots called Holiday Harmony: A Parent Quick Guide for the Teen Years. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow… this stage is a whole different ballgame,” you’re not alone. Holidays with big kids require new strategies, new communication, and a whole lot of connection, and this episode breaks down five practical ways to support your tween or teen through the season.
In this episode, I cover:
Why holiday stress looks different for teens and tweens
How giving them space can prevent overwhelm and conflict
The importance of setting clear expectations before events
Practical tools to help them manage sensory overload
How to stay calm and not take their reactions personally
Choosing one meaningful thing to honor their holiday experience
Simple conversation starters for the drive home
My own experience shifting from “little kid holidays” to “teen territory”

Holiday Harmony: A Parent Quick Guide for the Teen Years
Why this episode matters:
Holidays can be a beautiful time of connection but they can also bring stress, overstimulation, and power struggles, especially with older kids who are still figuring themselves out. This episode gives you tools to create more harmony and support your teen or tween with empathy, clarity, and confidence.
Perfect for you if:
You’re parenting a tween or teen
You feel like holidays are more complicated than they used to be
You want fewer meltdowns and more meaningful moments
You’re craving practical, real-life strategies
You want to build deeper connection with your big kid this season
