Without further ado, let’s bring on the incredible Kate Scudder.

Beautiful lady. Welcome to the show. I am so excited to have you here. Now, before we dive in, can you tell us what you had for breakfast this morning? 

Cait Scudder: Yes, I had what in our family? I don’t even know how we got onto this nickname. We had pot some, which is porridge. When Jack and Ella [00:03:00] were like barely able to talk, they just rebranded.

Porridge is Pot Some, so we had pot, some with grass fed butter and blueberries and milk and cinnamon, and a little bit of maple syrup. 

Melissa Ambrosini: I mean, is there anything better than maple syrup? Delicious. Ooh, I love it. 

Cait Scudder: So good. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Now, my love, when I first saw your Instagram handle, I literally. High fived you from here?

I was like, yes. Because I truly believe that you can have both. You can have the career that you want and still be the mother that you want. And we’re gonna dive into that. But can you take us back? Tell us how you got into this work. You were married to an Australian also, which I love, and I just stalked him on your Instagram.

I do, of course I know his face. Of course I do. Oh my God. 

Cait Scudder: Oh funny. 

Melissa Ambrosini: I love that. That’s so good. So take us back. Tell us how you got into this work and I [00:04:00] wanna know the ages of your children, tell our audience, like go back to where this all began for you. 

Cait Scudder: Oh my gosh. Well, it’s so funny, Melissa, because the, it’s wild that we’re doing this interview this week talking about those connections, how you know Toby from a previous life because two days ago we just celebrated our 10 year anniversary.

Of being together, of meeting each other. And it really goes back all the way to that moment. March 26th, 2015, I was in Bali, so I’m originally from New England in the United States, and I was working in, I mean, my background is in education, so I went to a really prestigious undergraduate school, went straight in to get my master’s in teaching.

And then after that, uh, had a job for two years teaching at a really cool, like alternative school, but I was driving almost an hour each way, making $38,000 a [00:05:00] year. You know, at that point it was my first job, so I was like, thank you so much. Not really realizing how much I was being taken advantage of, and it just, it took me only a couple years to realize I am already burnt out.

I’m 25 years old and I’m already burnt out. This is not sustainable. I know. I love teaching. I know I love being in front of a room. Teaching, like Spanish verb conjugations to 14 year olds is not my highest calling. Love that for whoever it is, but it wasn’t mine. And I’m like, there is something else out there.

And about a year prior to that, I got my 200 hour from Kripalu, a school of yoga, and the Berkshires and a couple of my teachers, JOA Chan and Grace Joel were running this feminine embodiment, like 500 hour yoga teacher training in Bali. And I’d seen it the year prior and I was like, oh my gosh, that looks amazing, but I can’t go.

I’m a teacher, I can’t leave my students for a month. And it really just hit me that I [00:06:00] wasn’t gonna go back. And when I made that choice, I ripped off the bandaid. I was freaking terrified of losing my meager but steady salary getting kicked off of health insurance. I was 26. So in the United States, health insurance is like a whole thing.

I’m like, I, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. But I knew I had to make it happen. So I started a GoFundMe. I worked some extra shifts as a waitress, and I got myself over to Bali for this life changing crew. I mean, I was like, I’m gonna walk out doing like one hand in handstands and crow to blah, blah, blah.

I’m like, I think I gained five or 10 pounds. Definitely did not get better at bending, you know, asana yoga. But the inner transformation, I feel like I activated all of the feminine archetypes inside of me and just like upgraded like Super Mario upgrade in my feminine embodiment in this experience. Bali will do that to you.

Oh, she will. And it’s so interesting. I’m like, I’m gonna wear my snake golden snake earrings today. I don’t know why, [00:07:00] but I’m like, I’m feeling the Bali energy right now. And so it was just a couple days after that training had ended. My girlfriends who I met, I, I had sort of blocked out an extra month to backpack through Thailand and Vietnam.

I had no plans, only a ticket. Get out to of Bali, to Thailand, and we were on the beach for a couple days. My girlfriends invited me to go down to Bingham Beach with them, and I randomly met this man, this Ozzy, who had just flown back from Australia from his brother’s wedding. It was so random that he was down in Bingham.

He lives in Ubud, but he had this feeling, he literally called his friend who had a hotel down there and said, I’m coming down. I have a feeling I’m gonna meet someone. His friend was like, what are you talking about? You just came from a wedding. Clearly you’re like, love drunk, but okay. And we met on the beach and it truly was this like seismic realignment.

And it just so happened that I was headed to BU the next day, which is where he lives. So he went [00:08:00] back that night. We met again the next day. It was just on, I canceled my trip to Thailand, which you know, all like strong independent woman. The so many of the voices of what I understood being a strong independent woman is would’ve said, this is crazy.

You don’t do this for a guy that you just met. But there was just this deeper wisdom and pull that there was something happening here that was bigger than I could explain. And then long story short, stayed for three weeks in Bali. He invited me to come back to Australia, met his whole family and that really sealed the deal.

Like watching him be an uncle to his niece and nephew, seeing him with his family. I’m like, okay, this is my person. And three months later we got engaged in Spain. Moved to Bali shortly after that and spent four years there. And that’s eventually where I started my business. So I wanna give you, it’s just, I would need to give you the backstory of that, but it’s so interesting how these like deeper currents that are [00:09:00] one part are participation in showing up.

You know, I started the GoFundMe, I got my butt to Bali, even though it didn’t make sense. But I mean, come on, meeting on the beach like that, there was God magic, the universe, divine intervention that I never could have planned. And that relationship with Toby being in Bali really set into motion for me a whole new trajectory and a whole new opening into the world of personal development, personal branding.

You know, UD is a big digital nomad hotspot, and it was the first time in my life, you know, coming from a education background in a small country town in western Massachusetts. I saw people blending the fullness of their gifts and talents and creating a personal brand that they could run online from anywhere in the world.

I’m like, hold on. There is something here. And so that led me to birth my business in 2017, and I [00:10:00] started my, my first launch was with a program I created called Radiant Living School, and it was all about living your light out loud. That was the tagline for it. And it was really about feminine embodiment, co-creating, you know, tapping into your most radiant expression and creating your life from there.

And it was very successful right off the bat. And about six months into doing that, a lot of my clients were like leaving the program feeling just so lit up and they’re like, hang on a minute. How are you doing this as a job? And I sort of accidentally fell into business coaching. I really love marketing and storytelling and business and kind of reverse engineering.

You know, I’m really into the systems that uphold that feminine expression. That inner balance of masculine and feminine is something that I’m just such a, such an advocate of. And so I fell into business coaching and just loved it. And so that internal essence expression has been at the heartbeat of my work since the [00:11:00] beginning.

But the focus turned to business in really the like latter half of 20 17, 20 18. And then in 2020, I became a mom and I gave birth to my firstborn Ella, who is four and a half now in October of 2020. She was a COVID baby, and it rocked my world, as you can imagine. And I just lit even more of a fire in me.

You know, I was so worried when I first found out I was pregnant, I was, my first response was just like sheer joy running it, you know, with a little stick to show Toby. And I remember crying to my crying, my eyes out to my business coach the next day being like, I’ve built the wrong business. I should have built an Amazon drop shipping company.

Like, I’m gonna have to close the doors. I actually went into my Google Drive to find a resume. That’s how terrified I was. I’m like, I haven’t looked at this thing in a decade, but there’s no way. And at that time I didn’t know of any women running successful [00:12:00] big businesses while navigating life with young children.

And so, but actually the opposite happened. That was the year that my business crossed seven figures, and we’ve had seven figure cashiers ever since I. Averaging about a new baby every 19 months. So I have three now. Ella is four and a half. Jack, my middle is two and a half. And then James, my youngest is one.

Melissa Ambrosini: Wow, babe. I love that so much. So when you gave birth to Ella, like were you still in Bali? Where were you in the world? We were back in Maine, 

Cait Scudder: so we moved from Bali to the States in May of 2019. We were kind of figuring it out, decided at the end of 2019 that we wanted to be in la so we moved to Los Angeles, conceived on New Year’s.

And so I spent the first trimester I was, I had a lot of morning sickness with her, kind of curled up in fetal position on our little couch in our bungalow in West Hollywood. And just as I was starting to feel better, wanting to get out and [00:13:00] meet people, bang, the world closed down March, 2020 with COVID.

Every in Los Angeles, the beaches were closed, the trails were closed. We were literally walking around random streets of Beverly Hills kicking a tennis ball to each other as like our recreation. And I’m like getting bigger. I’m like, babe, this isn’t it. Like we need to go back to the East coast. So we did a cross country road trip again, back to Maine, the east coast, where my family is, and where we have some community and moved to Maine at that point.

So we were living in Maine at the time. 

Melissa Ambrosini: And now you’re in Australia, but have you been in Maine ever since 

Cait Scudder: Maine? Ever since, yep. 

Melissa Ambrosini: And now you’re in Australia and you’re just kind of figuring out if this is where you wanna be. 

Cait Scudder: Yes, a hundred percent. It’s so good. And you know, this has always been the elephant in the room and just the dance that we have been doing with each other, knowing that we’re from complete opposite sides of the world.

Now, obviously we were talking a little bit earlier about just. Weighing up all of the [00:14:00] different needs in the relationship. It’s that we have a gorgeous 12 acre historic home and farm in Windham, Maine, which is just so beautiful and we love it so much and it’s feeling like the graduation time for my husband has K for that, which is so hard for me in so many ways.

But also, I’ll never forget, we were driving to a dear friend’s husband’s birthday party, a couple, it was like a year and a half ago now, it was raining. And he just really bravely said to me like, babe, I love you so much and it breaks my heart to say this, but like I feel like I need a change. And it just brought up all the feels because in so many ways that historic, you know, we even have the rock wall, the old, the character, the soul.

It’s such a special piece of land. It was, it was super hard for me to come to terms with, but one of the things now, you know, being a family of five, it’s what is so clear [00:15:00] to me is that for our family unit to thrive, for our marriage to thrive, for our children to thrive, mom and dad need to be in a space that allows us to thrive.

So. We are in the grand experiment and we’re here, we’re loving it. Australia, I mean, you know the quality of life here. I’m like the mangoes, the coffee, it’s just all chefs kids. It’s so good. And we have such a big, you know, tribe here in Sydney, so we’re really enjoying it. 

Melissa Ambrosini: That’s so beautiful. So does Toby work in the business or what does he do?

Cait Scudder: He is also an entrepreneur. He doesn’t work in the business. He’s, he comes in to support with like high level, almost like fractional CFO. He’s really like a systemic thinker. But it’s so interesting, you know, talking about being a, you were talking before about being a three five generator and working in your zone.

Toby is a manifesting generator. He has so much Gemini in hi and he’s an Aries, so much Gemini. He is so good in Burst, like he’ll come in and be this visionary. But [00:16:00] I remember when I was just starting my business back in 2017, it was really trendy around that time to re quote unquote, retire your husband and bring him into the business and.

Toby at that point was just like, absolutely not. Like I need my own sovereignty. And so it, there have been moments throughout the course of my business where I’m like, babe, what do you think? But that’s not his dharma. He has his own successful drop shipping company and also has a teak furniture he makes, and manufacturers reclaim furniture and does some e-comm and drop shipping for that as well as, you know, consult liaises between distributor and clients in the states.

So he’s, he’s got his own thing going on. He’s, he’s always got like 10 projects. 

Melissa Ambrosini: True manifesting generator style, like my husband. What are you, are you a generator? 

Cait Scudder: I’m a manifester. I’m a three five manifester. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Wow. Okay. So I’m a three five generator. Nick is a manifesting generator and like Toby. 10 billion different things on the [00:17:00] go.

So he does oversee, kind of like Toby, he’s very much high level over my business, but he is a musician, so that is his soul calling. And he could never just be eyes over my business. He could never just do that. But yeah, he’s also an investor. He does crypto, he does property like all sorts of different things like true manifesting generator style.

Cait Scudder: It’s, they would just get on like House on fire. That’s exactly Toby’s into all of that stuff as well, minus the musician bit. But yeah, he, that’s, that’s so him. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yeah. Yes. So I’m curious, both of you working, doing what you love. You’ve got three kids. Talk to us about logistically, what do your days look like?

Do you have support? When do you work? When does Toby work? How do you get it done? A 

Cait Scudder: hundred percent. Okay. So we do have support. We have a nanny who comes now. 40 hours a week. And so the time zone thing is one of the things that we’re still kind of figuring [00:18:00] out right now. But she’s here from seven to four, so hang on a minute.

That’s actually 45 hours. She’s here from seven to four, Monday through Friday. But I really work from every other week. The way that I’ve set up my schedule is, and just going into like the nitty gritty, I really prefer on the days that I do calls to have multiple, like a very call heavy day and to free up my other days.

And the way that it’s working now that I’m in Sydney is I’m waking up early, sometimes even before the kids come up. And on my call days, I’m having those calls early five at six o’clock next week. With the time zone it’s gonna be 5:00 AM So sleep is definitely taking a hit. The plus side of that though is that I get a couple hours of work done and then I get to just be with the family and the kids during the day or do something for myself.

And it’s so interesting, even as you’re saying that, it’s like how many hours. Of support. Do you have, but hang on a minute. If you’re only working 20 hours, what are you doing with the rest of that 25? [00:19:00] And so for me, one of the most important things I am just such an advocate of is widening the base of support and really allowing in more support than you think you need.

Because what that support when it’s not, you know, the, the, when I had one, when Ella was a baby, I remember we had a postpartum doula come for, I think it was 12 hours a week, maybe 10. And it was all about like, how quickly can I get back to, you know, being with her. I just had that postpartum doula for like the bare minimum of what I needed in order to work.

I wasn’t taking into account, I wasn’t weighing what are my needs, my personal needs as a woman. We obviously didn’t have other children at that point, so I wasn’t factoring in time with them. And so. Now, having that support during the day allows me to have one-on-one time with each of my big kids. It allows me to go, you know, run an errand [00:20:00] or, or have a meeting with Toby.

We’re in the process of making really big life decisions right now and doing a lot of like systems overhaul and that white space. I mean, I was saying this to you earlier, but that has been the most challenging thing about having three young kids, particularly one who’s still co-sleeping, breastfeeding.

Like literally there is someone touching me. This is my longest stretch and forever of not having a human on me. And, you know, an hour ago I did have one of mine on me. It’s, it’s really challenging to get that white space. So having that support doesn’t just mean, okay, that frees up all of my time to just go into my business.

It allows me to, you know, move through all of these different roles that life is asking of me right now, including, you know, being a co-pilot of this, of this and co-captain of this ship with my husband. So I work on concentrated days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, are really my call days, and usually every other week is when I have [00:21:00] those more concentrated days.

And so the rest of the time that I do work on those Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday days is really related to like client facing stuff. Monday is really my ideation. It’s my time to work on the business. And then Friday I am doing a lot of like wrap up stuff sometime the odd interview, but most, most call times are concentrated to that three days and that time blocking in that way really works for me.

Melissa Ambrosini: Yes, I love that so much and I love that you have so much support. I think it’s so important and I just wanna also let everybody know that I have been on your podcast and I’m gonna link to that in the show notes because that episode there is so much gold in there and I don’t wanna like repeat too many things that we said there.

I truly think you gotta go listen to that episode as well ’cause it’s so good. And in that we speak about how important support is and many hands raising your [00:22:00] children and how we have to get better at asking for and receiving support. As women, we’ve gotta master our main goal and really be okay with that.

So we have a nanny as well. We have her 20 hours a week and you know, Nick and I have had the discussion. We are like, we need her more. We do. And like you said, not to raise my children but to like help around the house and do things like that, which she does as well. Which is just so, so supportive. Like so supportive.

So I love that you have support, both of you thriving businesses, three gorgeous little children. I want you to talk to how motherhood has changed you in business, and I’m sure it’s changed with each birth. Talk to us about how that shifted for you. 

Cait Scudder: Oh my gosh. Wow. I’m finding it is like emotionally been hearing you ask that question because for me, I mean [00:23:00] the rebirth of my company to the millionaire mother took place in 2023.

Shortly. It was actually about nine months. Isn’t this interesting? It was actually about nine months after I gave birth to my second. So very much like you. You know, the birth of my first crossing the thresholds from Maiden into Mother was groundbreaking. It reorganized my entire way of being. There was something about the second birth for me that just completely rewired me and with my first, we were planning for a home birth.

We ended up transferring to the hospital. Was this when you were living in Maine? Maine, yes. We had Road Tri from la, got back to Maine. I was like six and a half, seven months pregnant and then delivered a couple months after that. And so we were living in Maine. First birth, you know, you don’t know what you don’t know.

We transferred to the ho, my water’s broke. All my kids. I’m like, it’s so funny. Every pregnancy I’m like, I’m [00:24:00] gonna deliver this one on time, but my body tends to carry to like 41 to 42 weeks. And everyone was telling me, oh, you’re gonna deliver early. Your mom delivered you and your brother early. You’re gonna deliberate 38.

So I told myself, I’m going on mat leave starting from 37 weeks and the next five weeks I was just like twiddling my son up and down, eating all the dates, eating the spicy food, being like, babe, let’s go have snacks. Where is this baby? But anyway, my water’s broke and there they were like a little green.

There was meconium in the water and she was about 41 and a half. And my midwife was like, I’m so sorry, but we can’t, that’s like a contraindication. We can’t, you can’t have your home birth. And so transferred to the hospital. Didn’t end up having the birth of my dreams. I still delivered naturally vaginally, but it was like super traumatic.

The nurses were like holding my knees up to my head, screaming push. There was like NICU on the phone as I’m crowning. It was just horrible. It was like very traumatic and [00:25:00] I had a really intense tear and so was in surgery for the first hour after she was born. Like I didn’t even have her, like she was on Toby, and so I had a lot of trauma that I had to clear outta my body and I need that.

My full-time job, I took a pregnancy test on Ella’s first birthday. Found out I was pregnant with Jack, and I was like, I know that that is not, it would be so easy to out of fear, say. That’s just what birth is. I felt so duped. I took this hypnobirthing class. Like that was Abso freaking non nowhere near orgasmic, let alone pain-free.

Like what are all these people talking about? It would be, it would’ve been so easy to just be cynical, but I’m like, I know that a new experience is available to me. So I just threw myself into it. I did like so much pelvic floor healing work. Took this incredible pain-free birth class, hired the most incredible doula and just had this angel [00:26:00] team.

And so Ella’s birth was really taught me about just like grit and like basically is being able to survive the hardest shit imaginable. But Jack’s birth was completely different. So he was born at home in the water, and I can True, he was 10 pounds and 15 ounces, so like kilograms, I don’t even know. He was enormous.

He was like a dowler. And the craziest thing about that birth experience, Melissa, is number one, it was pain-free until the very, very, very end. And then it was just like he’s out. Ring of fire was intense, but like, I mean the whole thing was intense but it wasn’t painful. And the most insane part of that birth is that I didn’t push him out.

I experienced what A lot of women, oh, well it’s called FER, the fetal ejection reflux. And what happens is the fondness of the uterus just gets so strong that it just [00:27:00] expels the baby out. I had that with Prince as well, so Okay, amazing. Mine wasn’t as fast as, you know, yours was, I had like a cervical lip and so.

Doing the spinning babies during labor, but he, my body just expelled him. And what is so crazy? So the past version of my podcast used to be called Born to Rise, and my whole, my, my offering was called the Rise Mastermind. It was like, and my background even pre, you know, Ali days like I was sharing with you, I was a competitive athlete.

I just have always been, you know, that ambitious go-getter, dream it, believe it, achieve it, you know, very healthy inner balance of inner masculine and feminine. But like my inner masculine’s pretty fucking ripped. And I was like, if I want it, I’m gonna go after I’m gonna make it happen. And then this birth with Jack happened and my body did the most miraculous thing without my pushing and [00:28:00] it rewired me on the most cellular level.

And it made me say, hang on a minute. If I can do that without, and it’s not that it was without trying, but where the most active labor is getting out of my own way and allowing it to happen and to move through me what I need to rethink the way that I do everything in my life and my business. And it’s not to say that I was just like pushing a boulder uphill in my business, but it was like something changed in me when I tapped into the essence of my power coming from my root, my womb, my pelvic bowl, my source point of connection.

I’m like, this is the place that I am going to run my business from in everything I do across the board. It is gonna be informed by this like profound, ancient, deep internal [00:29:00] wellspring of wisdom that I carry inside of me. And so. I remember having a conversation with a spiritual mentor that I hired. This was about eight months after that.

And I was sharing, you know, I’m, I have this like offer that’s generated millions of dollars and my brand is like known for this rise thing. And I just, I feel it wanting to shift. And he said to me, I’ll never forget, he’s like, Kate, it sounds like Rise has already like died. Why don’t you just give it back to the earth?

It’s just the most beautiful analogy of like, and you think about, you know, the trees, the way they shed their leaves, and that becomes the most fertile compost for the new thing to grow and evolve. And I kid you not, Melissa, within a week I had emailed the container. I had, I issued over a hundred thousand dollars of refunds.

I closed it seven months early and I was like, I am stepping into the void. I [00:30:00] love and it wasn’t like, oh, this is so out of alignment. It just was that I needed enough of a blank slate to allow the space for the next thing to arrive and like mind you, this might all sound very like poetic and inspiring.

I was haired, I was so nervous. I was the, you know, breadwinning whatever of with two young kids, I’m like issuing refunds. I’m like slashing our MRR by 80%. But I knew that something else, just that like mama bear instinct. I knew that something else was coming and it was within the next six weeks that I literally downloaded.

I’ll never forget being upstairs in my office with this huge giant like roll of paper and I was on my hands and knees. It was literally like I was giving birth. I just channeled. I saw the full vision. The Millionaire Mother brand, the offerings, the brand growth, and I just wrote the whole thing [00:31:00] down. And within six weeks after that, we had relaunched the podcast, relaunched the brand, and I knew that motherhood was not just this tangential side conversation to like tuck away and really get down to business.

It was bridging these worlds and specifically weaving in how our experience psychologically cellularly somatically as mothers impacts our results in business, the way we operate in business. I knew that spearheading that movement was my calling, and it’s what I’ve been doing ever since, for the last, now nearly two years.

And I am just, I’m more on fire for it than ever before. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yes, babe. You sure are. You sure are. And I’m just. So glad that you are out there doing this and blazing the trail and showing and being an example that you can have both. And we shared on your podcast my evolution of how [00:32:00] this has unfolded for me.

And it’s been so interesting to just focus on business and mindset and then come back to sharing more about me and, and more storytelling and more of all the different facets of who I am. So I’m just so glad that you are out there blazing this trail. And something that you talk about, which I wanna speak to is the neurological and the biological edge that motherhood gives us in business.

Can you talk to us about the science behind mum brain as a superpower and not a setback? 

Cait Scudder: Yes. I love this question so much. I’m like, I’ll talk to anybody who wants to talk about this. So one thing that I think is really interesting, I mean, you’re in this postpartum window. I am as well. I think that that’s a time that it gets really active, but it really starts in pregnancy when our brains are on a cellular level, start to change composition.

So the gray matter in the brain, which is the part of the brain [00:33:00] traditionally associated with short-term memory, word recall, verbal processing, that part starts to decrease during pregnancy and lasting years into postpartum. It’s why when, you know, we’re standing in the kitchen asking Babe, hand me the thingy, and he’s like, what are you talking about thingy the spoon?

It’s like we just can’t remember the word for that thing, even though we know it. And yet I. During that time also, the part of our brain note is the default mode network, which is actually made up of multiple different centers in the brain. That part starts to meaningfully turn online and start to, it starts to grow and that is the part of the brain associated with, I mean some call it like daydreaming, but more like open non nonverbal communication or what I would call in non-scientific terms are spidey senses.

It’s why we can sense when we’re literally on the other side of the room, [00:34:00] our toddler’s about to reach and touch a hot stove and we just whip our head around and know it’s that ability, and this is an evolutionary adaptive quality. It’s how the human species evolve. A mother’s brain changes from needing to have the like sharpness and precision with words and memory to this more intuitive essence feeling, ability to sense this extra extrasensory perception, which just skyrockets and it’s.

Part of what supports a mo mother to bond with their child, again in that early infancy, but into, you know, years postpartum as well. And what I think is so fascinating when I began to research this, I’m like, hang on a minute. So, okay. The sharpness and precision, and again, we think in the world of business, which has been traditionally in, you know, recent history, obviously dominated by men, but also, you know, as in, in recent years as well, like spearheaded by women [00:35:00] either who don’t have children or who have had to almost like tuck their kids away and tuck their motherhood away and put on the boxy suit and pretend like, you know, they don’t have this aspect of themselves.

We’ve really glorified and essentialized. The qualities of the logical thinking mind as these like pinnacle traits of entrepreneurial success. But the data actually shows us otherwise. And I always love, I mean, whether it’s Steve Jobs or there’s so many entrepreneurs, Sarah Blakely is a really leading one, and she’s obviously a mother of four, had her kids after really creating the bloom of her empire.

But there’s this interview where she is asked about what is it that is your superpower in business? And she named intuition as the number one leading edge, which is such an inherently feminine quality. But for many men have done the same thing, like the most savant, [00:36:00] visionary forward thinking. It’s actually the ability to be in that dream-like state that is so activated by the default mode network, that ability to be in like open perception, daydreaming.

It’s the true CEO, it’s the true visionary quality. We have as mothers this biological superpower advantage to be tapped into that intuition. It’s like I said to you in my own personal story, and so many of my clients have their versions of this as well, I literally channeled and downloaded this full thing, not because I was sitting there trying to get the exact words right, but because I was in this like open awareness and I was able to receive this message and download and bring it into that fruition.

And I think, you know, any mom who has gotten shoes on a toddler nose, ladies are staying, power is unmatched. Like zero, a second to none. Our ability to execute and get things done. And I just think it’s that combination of [00:37:00] being in that open sensory perception, being so hyper connected to our intuition.

Those are adaptive qualities that have supported us over time to be such so connected to our children and raise our children well, but they’re also business superpowers. 

Melissa Ambrosini: 100%. Yes. I love this so much. And often Nick will say to me, oh, why? Why do you wanna cancel that? Or why do you wanna start that? Or Why do you wanna do that?

And I’m like, I just do. Like I remember years ago, years ago, before kids, probably like 10 years ago, I wanted to start a mastermind and I had the sales page, I had people purchase, and then I woke up one morning and I was like, Nope, I’m pulling the pin. And Nick’s like, why? What? And I was like, we’re doing it.

We’re pulling it. So I pulled it and just no other reason than my intuition was like, no. [00:38:00] So that’s so interesting. I love that so much Now. A lot of people listening do have their own businesses. Can you tell us who is in your business? Like do you have full-time staff? I’d love to hear about the behind the scenes.

A 

Cait Scudder: hundred percent, yes. Right now I have a full-time director of operations, so she really oversees all the inner workings of the company. And then we have multiple contractors, so she’s our only full-time person right now. We’ve got a social media manager, we have a community manager, a tech va, another VA who does all sorts of different executive assistant administrative support.

We have a podcast manager. Gosh, uh, who am I missing? We have a, just like thinking through all the different departments and then we have like ad hoc people who come on like brand, oh, we have a graphic designer. We have a photographer branding agency that we do, you know, regular shoots with. We have a [00:39:00] bookkeeper.

My husband is really kind of that CFO role, and we have a, a website maintenance person who helps with like SEO and things like that. But the core team is about six people. We’re very close. We are very minimal on meetings. We do almost everything in terms of slack communication, and our mantra is like, does this actually have to be a meeting because everyone’s a Hmong And so we’re really, you know, full power on brevity, being concise, but having really streamlined communication as well.

Melissa Ambrosini: Yes, I’m the same. I’m like, does this actually need a meeting? Like really, really, really, really like I will ask 15 times and then they’re like, actually no, I can just slack you. And I’m like, great. Just slack me for this season of my life. I cannot do hour long meetings, 

Cait Scudder: babe. I’m so with you on that. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yeah, send me a three minute slack.

So I love that we use Slack as well and all of my team is virtual too, which is amazing. 

Cait Scudder: Slack’s so great [00:40:00] because it has the auto transcription, so it’s like sometimes I’ll listen to it and sometimes if I’m nursing or whatever, I can just see what the message is about. So it’s so helpful. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yes. I’d love to hear what your definition of successes.

Cait Scudder: So funny, I was just writing about this earlier today. For me it is. So I’ve been thinking a lot and a real leading edge of my body of work right now is about legacy and really this idea of 360 degrees inheritance. So for me, building wealth, and obviously the name of my company is called The Millionaire Mother.

We are all about getting that bag going after growing financial material wealth, not turning away from that and not shying away from that. So monetary financial success is 100% part of that picture, and I realized [00:41:00] immediately with becoming a mom, there is no number, no talk line, revenue flex, no anything in the material world that could replace or make me want to sacrifice my relationships, my relationships with my husband, my relationships with my children on the altar of quote unquote success.

So for me, success really is this 360 degree. Look at what is the inheritance that I’m leaving my children with? What is the legacy that I am leaving in the world, in my home and outside of my home? And I’ve been thinking so much about this idea of these like concentric circles of legacy. You know, my children like yours are in those early years, those subconscious minds, zero to seven years where their world is being shaped every single day.

Obviously by like big stuff [00:42:00] that happens. But by the tiniest interaction, it is the, the legacy that I’m leaving is not just money in a bank account or. Whatever, a book or a podcast or something like that, it’s the imprint on their nervous system. It’s how they respond to stress and distress. It’s the relational template that they see modeled in my husband and my relationship.

And so for me, success is being able to foster and nurture that the inheritance that I’m leaving them and the, the legacy that I’m leaving on the world. As much as I’m out here growing my empire, like for me, the, the empire is this external expression of my creative gifts fully online. My discipline and devotion channeled into this thing which creates impact and income and does all of this.

That is the external expression of [00:43:00] that and the inward behind the scenes home life expression of that. Is how I’m able to channel that to my beloved. So my definition of success is creating an inheritance on a 360 level that I feel so proud of. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Mm, that’s so beautiful. I love that So much so, so, so beautiful.

And it’s such a powerful question because it really does get you to reflect, because everyone’s definition of success is different. And I think we need to regularly tune in and go, okay, well what does success look like for me right now in this season of my life? And then what does it look like in the next season?

And constantly just coming back and going, what does it look like for me right now? Because it will shift. And I just love that. I love your answer, and it’s so beautiful. What’s bringing you the most joy in your life right now? Ugh. [00:44:00] 

Cait Scudder: Honestly, time with my kids is just topping the charts. I don’t know if it the lifestyle of being in Sydney.

Like I said, we love our life on the farm back in Maine, but Sydney is so alive, it’s so vibrant. Our home is like, we can literally look out the most beautiful view of the sea. We’ve got a pool here. We’re walking distance five minutes down the road to the most beautiful park and beach, which is just so stunningly beautiful, and just time in nature with my kids, and particularly our whole family time together, I feel like we’re really getting the rhythm of, you know, that breathing.

I, I feel like that’s a very steiner metaphor, but that in-breath out breath of time together, time apart. I feel like we’re really getting that. I mean, gosh, there’s so many moments where I don’t feel like we’re nailing it, but I really feel like we’re getting into that rhythm here. I. It’s the time together, whether it’s whole family time together or the individual time I’m getting with my kids, my big [00:45:00] kids.

I’m, I mean, I’m solo time with James all the time. I love him. That’s also a highlight. But my toddlers, like, there’s something about just seeing the world through their lens, whether it’s Ella coming up and showing me a picture, mommy, like, look, that’s you. And just her stick figures and just the way that she processes the world, or it’s Jack as I’m rubbing his head, going to bed, you know, sharing something with me about his day and the digger in the lawnmower.

And just like I’m, I just feel like I am seeing and experiencing the world with so much richness through their eyes, and it’s just hands down, but best it is just filling my cup so much 

Melissa Ambrosini: That’s so beautiful. On the weekends when Nick is more physically present with us, because during the week he’s, he’s working in meetings and all sorts of things.

They are my favorite, like just the four of us on the weekend, like Pure [00:46:00] Soul Medicine for me. And I just look at him and he goes, I know what you’re thinking. And I’m like, I know I say it all the time. I’m like, I love it when you’re with us because yeah, during the week it’s either like me with Prince or me with both of the kids, like I mentioned to you.

Like I do try and have that one-on-one time with Bambi because it’s so important that she still gets that with me. And I make her feel so special when I do have that time just with her. But a lot of the time it’s me, Bambi, and Prince and I love that. But you know, when Nick is there on the weekend, we just have the best fun.

It’s just so much fun. So they’re the moments and you know, I was reflecting on this last night, I want more of that in my life right now. Like there’s a lot going on and. I’m like, how can I create more white space in my calendar for more of that? And I think, you know, when I teach this inside she launch, I’m like, you have to get really [00:47:00] clear on what your priorities are in your life for this season in your life.

Like what are your core priorities? For me, like number one, it’s my myself. I have to take care of myself. I have to make sure that I am content. I feel good. Of course, my children are a top priority, my husband is a top priority and my business is a top priority. And for this season of my life, like I am such a social person.

I love my friends, I love being social. But that comes after like my, my family and my work. Just, you know, this season. And I look at my parents now, like my parents. Are living their best social life. Like they have the biggest social calendar I’ve ever seen. They literally go out to dinners like five nights a week that I’m like, where are you going that we’re going to Bali with these friends and then we’re going to Europe with these friends.

Like they literally are living their [00:48:00] social life dream right now because they had kids young. And so now they’re in that season. And I’m sure like if I asked them what is a priority in your life? It’d be their friendships and traveling with their friends and doing that. So I think you really need to get super clear on what are your priorities in your life right now, and really make sure that your calendar reflects that.

You know, if taking care of yourself is one of your top priorities and there’s no workouts in your calendar, well that kind of tells me that you’re not serious about it. So I teach this inside She launch and it’s so important. So I just love that. You are really enjoying your time with your children and that’s what brings you the most joy.

’cause it definitely does for me too. 

Cait Scudder: So sweet. It is so special and I’m so with you on that. It’s like the adventures of, I mean that’s kind of, we almost like narrate, that’s a big thing that we’ve been into recently, but narrating the [00:49:00] adventures that we’re having as we’re doing it and they’re just like obsessed.

They’re just, it, it’s so, it’s so amazing what the smallest amount of like, intention, presence, love sprinkled on it just, it just lights up their world so much and it’s such a joy to be in that with them. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yeah, absolutely. And our energy, you know, the mother is the heartbeat of the home. Our energy dictates like the energy of everyone.

You want a thriving home ecosystem. It starts with the mama. And you know, like Nick would say to me, babe, they’re tuning into your energy. And then I’d like snap at him and I’m like. But that’s because my energy, like I haven’t had time to fill myself up. And so instead of saying that, he’s like, go and meditate, or like go and, you know, do something for yourself.

So the mother’s energy, we are the heartbeat of the home. Like they tune into everything. So this [00:50:00] is why we need to take care of ourselves, like your self-care. And I’m not talking about manicures and pedicures, I’m talking about your devotion to yourself, honoring of yourself. Whatever that looks like for you has to be number one.

It just has to be because everything else crumbles. If you are not taking care of yourself. And like I said, it doesn’t have to be day spas. It is literally 10 minutes eyes closed, sitting up in bed before your children wake up a prayer. It’s just whatever it is for you. So this is really important. It’s really important.

Now I’d love to hear Hun, if you had a magic wand and you could put one book in the school curriculum of every high school around the world. So we are thinking it’s for boys and girls around 16, 17. It could be on any topic. What book would you choose? 

Cait Scudder: Oh gosh. I feel [00:51:00] like there’s a couple that are coming to mind.

I mean, Mel Robbins Let Them Theory I feel like is a whole mic drop. It’s so good. I’m reading it at the moment and it’s just like highlight, highlight, highlight. It’s unreal. So that I feel like super, super important. You know the one that first came up and I, I’m like, hmm, 16, 17, it might be a little beyond that, but one of my favorite books of all time I recommended to all of my clients is by Kasha ORAC called Unbound, A Woman’s Guide to Power.

If you haven’t read that book, you gotta read it. It’s so good. Bring her on your show. She’s just unbelievable. But she used to be a, she trained as like a Taos nun and also worked for years as one of the most highly sought after dominatrixes in New York City. And her whole body of work is about power and, and women and the energetics of power.

And it [00:52:00] is such, I mean, I use principles of that book all the time in my daily life in looking at, you know, where am I? How am I embodying? It’s just like pure pillar presence of power. So I would say every girl and you know, young man reading that to understand how to honor the power of a woman, but.

Unbound is is high, high up on the list. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Well, I’ve just opened it on my desktop. I’m gonna get it. That sounds amazing. I’ll read it and maybe get her on the show. I love that. And I’ll link to it in the show notes as well. Now I wanna hear about how your day looks. Talk us through a quote unquote typical day in your life.

And I wanna know all the little things you do for yourself. How do you fill yourself up? Talk us through a typical day in your life. 

Cait Scudder: A hundred percent. So it’s gonna depend on the day of the week. Call day, not call day, yada yada. But for me, I wake up in the bed with James. So James and I at this point are sleeping [00:53:00] in the bed together, Toby’s in his own room, which not ideal in many ways, although I’m a manifester and apparently we’re supposed to have different rooms from our spouses.

So I’m like, I, you know, I used to roll my eyes and be like, that’s so weird. But now I’m like. I really get it after having all these kids. I’m like the idea of having my own space to sleep sounds nice. So I wake up, I’m in the bed with James, and then usually it’s just a matter of time around six 30 or so, Ella will walk in with her little bunny Jack will come in.

Toby will come in, and we kind of rotate whose bed we do this on. But we just have this like big family cuddle puddle. It’s the best way to start the day. So we do that every single morning and then our nanny arrives around seven. We all go upstairs to have breakfast. I am, I mean, there are times that I wake up way earlier than James and I’ll, you know, put something on, but mourning, whereas I used to be just meticulous about that being my sacred space.

That’s not what my reality [00:54:00] looks like right now. We just get right into family life. For me, it’s on a day that I don’t have calls. After a nanny gets here, it coming back down to my room, closing the door, having my hot cup of coffee with all the adaptogens and yummies in it, and just having that moment.

I’ll usually put on, I know this sounds so weird, I’d like, or I more than a year postpartum, but I put on my labor playlist because it’s just my favorite playlist. It’s like all this beautiful spiritual music, and I just give myself again. Sometimes it’s half an hour while I’m taking a shower and getting ready.

Sometimes it’s less than that, it’s a song or two, but it’s just my moment to come back into center. So for me, music and what I am listening to is such a bong for my system and for my soul. And during that time, does the nanny have all three kids? Usually Toby is upstairs and the nanny is helping out. So Toby’s like feeding the kids breakfast or taking Ella to school, he [00:55:00] does school drop off for Ella.

She goes to school three days a week. So the nanny will be with the boys and Toby will be taking Ella to school or he’ll be like finishing tidying up. So yeah, that’s usually what that looks like. And then I will transition into coming into my office and getting a couple hours work done. And I spoke again before about that rhythm, you know, which is really kind of Steiner Waldorf inspired of that, of that breathing in and out in the day.

So that sort of marks like the first separation, if you will. And like I said, Ella’s got her own rhythm and cadence at school, but I try to, if I’m not on a call, you know, it’s not a call day. I’ll batch that hour, hour and a half of work to take off some high level things I have to do. And then that pairs with around 9 30, 10 when James is waking up from his first nap and when Jack is getting ready to have snacks.

So I’ll go out, I’ll breastfeed James, I’ll have snack with Jack, and we’ll have that beautiful home time together. So there are these multiple [00:56:00] points throughout the day that I’m getting that connection. And then same thing will break again. Boys will go back with our nanny. I’ll go back for another like power 90 minutes.

Or so and then go up and make lunch and have lunch with them. And then Jack goes down for his, his afternoon nap. James goes down for his nap. And then at that point in the afternoon, that’s when I’ll usually go out for a walk or a run or you know, a walk and then a swim. But usually when I get my exercise in again in a different world, exercising right after having lunch wouldn’t necessarily be it for me.

But that’s just the time that it works for me right now. And then Ella gets home, we alternate days that we go to pick her up. I’m like, still the, the turns I have to do to get back. I’m like, I’m just getting comfortable driving on the other side of the road in the car now that I can go get her by myself.

But sometimes I’ll have time to do another little, you know, usually tying up loose ends 30, 45 minutes of work and then I’ll get in the [00:57:00] car and go get her. Then starting from four o’clock, we all have family time together. So real family time between four or five 30. Sometimes we’ll go swimming. Sometimes we’ll all go down to the beach together.

If it’s raining, we’ll do an art project or something. And then I love getting the kids to help with dinner. I love cooking. It’s one of my, like my creative outlets and expressions and just pro little tip for anyone who’s like likes cooking, but the overwhelm of picking out what you have to do. I’ve been using AI so much for helping me generate meal plans and organized shopping and just all of the things.

But I love, number one, delegating things like onion, garlic. I’ll have our nanny chop that up when the boys are sleeping. Put it in the Tupperware. That’s my least favorite part of chopping. But if there’s like easier veggies to chop, I have the big kids help me with that. So meal prep becomes kind of a family thing.

So just really delegating, getting so meticulous about, you know, pre chopping chicken or whatever, onion, garlic, [00:58:00] but leaving some tasks for the kids to be involved in. Yeah. And then we do dinner together, bedtime and that. It’s so funny you were speaking about, I can’t remember if it was on this episode or before, but that five minutes on the couch, we have this incredible couples therapist from Bali who works with a lot of, you know, people inside of the personal development industry in that he came to stay with us in the thick of postpartum with James.

I was like two months postpartum and I was really struggling with mastitis. It was such a dark and hard and heavy moment. And he actually came in to do, flew from volley, came to our house, stayed over with us to do just like a few days of like being with us and supporting us in our day-to-day rhythm.

And that five minutes on the couch of just touching and not needing to talk through everything. I think the thing that’s wild about. Being in a partnership in a marriage where you have business conversations to overlap life, logistics, finances, [00:59:00] parenting, and like your individual children and then just what’s going on for each of you.

There’s, you wear so many hats, your co-pilots, your lovers, your best friends, your parents, but having that time to sink almost beneath the need to be understood and just the need to be connected. We have that exact same thing. So five minutes on the couch is like our stable and sometimes it turns into more, but just dropping in and like see that is like the lifeblood in the pulse of our marriage in this season and it’s just, it’s so beautiful.

So that’s the day. 

Melissa Ambrosini: And what time is that usually? Usually around eight o’clock. Yeah. Beautiful. I love that so much. Thank you for sharing your day. It’s so beautiful and I kind of do a bit of a flow as well between. Working and then going and momming and I kind of just dance between the two, which is really working and I love it 

Cait Scudder: for any, I just wanna throw out again this practical tip.

One of the things that has been [01:00:00] amazing about the Waldorf style of education is using song to transition, and I don’t know if any other mamas do this, but I don’t even know how we discovered this, but there’s this song, it’s called The Kernel’s March from the Jungle Book album. You can find it on Spotify.

That has become the song that we put on to transition for after dinner to go downstairs and get into the bath. And it’s like this, like really peppy like dump, dump, dump. And it’s really like upbeat. The kids love it. It works like a charm. We put it on now and there’s no resistance going to bathtime over anybody who finds that so hard to transition the kids into the bath.

Thank me later, DM me, tell me how it worked out for you. But it has been a game changer in our house. 

Melissa Ambrosini: I love that so much. Yeah, we do a lot of song as well. So, does Ella go to a Steiner or do you love the Steiner philosophy? I’d love to hear. 

Cait Scudder: Yeah, both. So she goes to a Steiner school three days a week. She was at a little homeschool collective that was a Waldorf inspired school.

So [01:01:00] taught by like lifelong multi-decade Steiner teachers. And yeah, we just love that style of education. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Yes, Bambi goes to a Steiner playgroup and it’s so beautiful, and we’re still not sure like next year whether we’re gonna send her to the Steiner school or whether we’re gonna homeschool. We’re still, and I feel like this is another whole podcast that you and I could chat about for another time about the schooling system and what way to go.

But yeah, there’s so many beautiful things about the Steiner. Philosophy and world and she just loves it. You know, I go to the playgroup and there’s some kids there that like I can tell that this is not for them. And then there’s like the Steiner kids where like they thrive and like I look at them and like the mother will even say, I’m not sure this is for my son, or I’m not sure this is for her.

But Bambi, like she thrives, she loves it. It’s like so her personality. So yeah. I feel like we need to do another episode on that. I know. Now I’ve got three [01:02:00] rapid fire questions for you. Are you ready? Great. Okay. What is one thing that we can do today for our health? Drink more water. Yes. Beautiful.

Especially the breastfeeding mamas. Drink more water. All the water and good water. No. No. Nasties. Exactly. What’s one thing that we can do for our wealth? 

Cait Scudder: Stop saying yes to things that drain you so you can free up your bandwidth. Your energy is kind of a longer answer, but your energy is your greatest asset and making money is so much easier than you probably think It is.

So clear the bandwidth that is going to other places and allocate into building out your passion is gonna be the best thing that you can do. 

Melissa Ambrosini: I love that. And last one, what’s one thing we can do for more love in our life? Give up 

Cait Scudder: saying this to myself. Give up the need to be right and let connection be the priority instead.[01:03:00] 

Yes. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Beautiful. I love that so much. Babe, you are helping, you are serving, you are supporting so many people with all of your work, with your online presence, everything. I wanna know how I and the listeners can give back to you today. How can we serve you? 

Cait Scudder: Thank you, babe. So honored to be here and so feel that Soul Sister connection.

So it’s so, so lovely to be here with you. Come hang out, come say hi on Instagram, come listen to the Millionaire Mother Podcast and just, you know, spread the word. I think one of the things that I am just so, so passionate about, many women who find my page and who are either newly pregnant or newly postpartum or just in the throes of a rebirth.

The piece of feedback that I get so much is just thank you for bringing language to something that I have felt but haven’t known how to say. And you know, I think the biggest thing that I’m passionate about is about helping mothers know that [01:04:00] they’re not alone. If they’re feeling this rebirth for their company coming, you’re not alone.

If you’re feeling like you’re meant for more and you’re meant to play bigger, but you’re scared if you can have both, you’re not alone. So. If you’re resonating with any of this message, share this interview. Spread the word because more mothers on the planet. I truly believe when we have more mothers in their sovereignty, in their power, in their financial vitality and optimal expression, I.

And just playing full out the ripple effect intergenerationally in that 360 level is just going to be truly the greatest, liberating and, and healing force on the planet. So spread the word. 

Melissa Ambrosini: Mm, beautiful. And I will link to the episode we did on your podcast. In the show notes, I’ll link to your Instagram, your website, everything so people can go and stalk you and become obsessed with you like I am.

This has been so [01:05:00] beautiful and powerful. I really feel that true soul Sister connection with you. And I am just so grateful for all the work that you do in the world and for being here and sharing with us today. I’m so excited for what to come next with our friendship and I’m just so grateful. So thank you for being here.
