Gather around with us for a family H.O.W.L.—a cozy, end-of-season ritual where we honor the wins and lessons that shaped us this year. It’s fun, imperfect, and full of heart. Let this Wildfire conversation inspire a new tradition in your home.

Why it matters:

In a world that moves fast, taking a moment to name our wins and lessons helps our families feel seen, supported, and grounded. When we make space for these tiny rituals, we teach our kids (and ourselves) that progress is worth celebrating.

Family Discussion Questions:

  • Honor: What are we most proud of? What milestones did we reach? Begin by honoring the effort, kindness, and creativity you’ve shown this season.
  • Our: Who helped make this season special? Recognize and thank the people who encouraged, supported, or inspired you. Share how they made a difference and notice how much stronger we are when we G.R.O.W. together.
  • Wins: What brought you the most joy or made you feel accomplished? Celebrate the big and small victories: projects finished, new skills learned, or moments of courage.
  • Lessons: What did we learn this winter? How will we carry that wisdom forward into the next? Reflect on the challenges and surprises that taught you something important.

Action Challenge:

Gather your pack: your family, your people, whoever’s been part of your season. Light a candle, snuggle in, build a fort, or sit by a fire. Keep it short and simple; even ten minutes can make it special. Take turns sharing reflections, proud moments, or funny memories. Celebrate the little wins, the lessons learned, and the ways you’ve grown together.

About the Podcast

Wildly Intentional
Reclaim your rhythm. Rethink the rules. Rewrite your life.
If you’ve ever looked around and thought, There has to be a better way—you’re in the right place. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a call to live, parent, create, and lead on purpose. To break free from the scripts we’ve inherited and build something better—one season, one story, one choice at a time.

Wildly Intentional is for the ones who:
- Can’t unsee what’s broken
- Crave deeper conversations, rhythms, and ways of living
- Are done waiting for permission to do life differently

I’m Mandy—maverick homeschooling mom of three, proud wife, family culture builder, cycle-breaker, and the person people call when they’re ready to rethink everything. From my kitchen table to your headphones, I’m here to shake up the norms, tell the truth, and light the way forward.

Here, we go beyond quick fixes and curated perfection. We talk about real life—messy, meaningful, and unapologetically intentional. Through bold ideas, honest questions, and that edge-of-your-seat kind of truth that makes you whisper, “Why has no one said this before?”

You don’t have to think like me—just be brave enough to think for yourself. This is your permission slip to live, lead, and parent in a way that’s unapologetically yours. Whether you're raising kids—or just raising your hand to say “I want more than this”—you're welcome here. Because you don’t need a label. You need a life that fits. It’s not about doing life perfectly. It’s about doing it on purpose.

Subscribe to Wildly Intentional and reclaim your rhythm, your voice, and your way of life—season by season, story by story, step by step.

Mandy Webber

I’m Mandy—a mother, maker, mentor, and unapologetically wild thinker. I’m known for my magnetic energy, practical wisdom, and fierce curiosity—and for helping others unlearn the noise and reclaim the rhythms that actually matter.

I’m the one people call when they’re ready to do life differently—not just talk about it. Whether it’s rethinking school, reclaiming seasonal rhythms, starting a business, healing family cycles, or figuring out how to preserve 50 pounds of tomatoes and their sanity... I help people find their own way—deeply, honestly, and without the fluff.

I’m a builder and a truth-teller. A guide for the questioners and quiet disruptors. A pattern-seer, soul-rooter, and cycle-breaker. The kind of person who lights up a room while pulling back the curtain. I live what I teach, and I mother with my whole being—fierce, flawed, and wildly intentional.

I’m here to tell the truth, shake the norms, and light the way forward—one season, one story, one soul-led decision at a time.

Most days, I’m barefoot in the garden, reading aloud with my kids, canning in the kitchen, or following a big idea down a rabbit hole—coffee in hand, steadied by the quiet presence of my husband nearby. I’m a lifelong learner, a maker of many things, and a lover of good questions.

From my kitchen table to your headphones, this show is your invitation into real conversations, soul-stirring questions, and practical insights about how we live, lead, raise, create, and rebuild with purpose.

If you’re craving honest dialogue, grounded frameworks, spiritual depth, and a bold reimagining of what it means to build a life that truly fits—you’re right at home here.

Welcome to Wildly Intentional. Let’s rethink everything. Together.
