Pom Poms, Pea Salad & Punk Parenting with Brittani & Brynt

This week, we welcome dear friends and our own personal spiritual healers, siblings Brittani and Brynt, founders of Singing Heart Retreats. The youngest of four, these two were raised in a household where big laughs, creative ideas, and home-cooked meals were always on the menu, with a dash of Texas flair for good measure. 

We celebrate their spirited Momma Vicki who always kept it authentic when it came to her cookin’ and her parenting! The siblings share how, like ours, the family expressed their love through cooking. In the words of Brittani “They did some very serious loving, cooking, and togetherness for us and with us.” So much so that when Brynt decided to become a vegetarian at an early age and Brittani, gluten free, Vicki lovingly made meals to fit all her kids dietary restrictions.

Add it to the list of achievements for Momma Vicki, she was also an extremely talented seamstress running her own business in between being an unofficial “taxi driver” shuffling her children back and forth to various activities. Bur Momma Vicki didn’t just drive the kids to their activities—she was often in the thick of them herself! Momma Vicki was the “sponsor/coach” of Brittani’s cheerleading squad and while at practice she took notice that Brynt was not feeling the flag football she signed him up for. Being the intuitive Momma she is, she encouraged him to try dance instead, an activity that became a lifelong passion for him. Way to know your kids, Momma V!

As the conversation unfolds, Vicki's authenticity shines through in the way her children recount her memorable "Mama-isms." From her signature phrases like "Lord, give me strength" to her classic assertion that certain things were "asinine," Vicki's unique perspective on life taught Brittani and Brynt the importance of honesty and humor, even in challenging situations.

Rounding out this heartwarming chat, Brittani and Brynt share their passion for guiding people through yoga and energy healing work at their Singing Heart Retreats. They’ll be hosting their next retreat April 10-14 ‘25 in Sedona, Arizona, titled Guided by Love, a journey designed to connect you to your true value, cultivating self love through yoga, energy healing, and community with others.
