Meet Brenda Noon Schmidt, aka Kick-Ass Modern Mom.

She grew up on a cattle ranch on the Arizona/Mexico border, worked six jobs in college (including teaching swim lessons and working at a cigar shop with retired cops), built a career in marketing and finance, and now runs her own business teaching moms how to outsource, delegate, and reclaim their time.

This episode is pure energy. We talk about:

✅ What ranch life taught her about systems and collaboration

✅ How she balanced multiple jobs, paid her way through college, and married an entrepreneur

✅ The surprising link between restaurant work and business strategy

✅ Her journey from finance to entrepreneurship and helping moms "run their home like a business"

✅ Why outsourcing isn’t a luxury (and how anyone can start with 5 hours a week)

If you’ve ever wondered how to juggle everything—career, family, adventure, and sanity—this conversation is your permission slip to stop doing it all yourself.

🎧 Listen in for stories about $2.13 diner shifts, cigar shop nights with Bill Murray types, and the secret to finally making time for the life you want.

📌 Watch now and learn how to buy back your time, build your village, and enjoy the life you’re working so hard for.
