We met a sad, lonely goat in Hawaii. It was tied to a small leash all day long. Even its bleat (the sound goats make) sounded sad. You'll hear the full story when you tune into this week's episode. Rather than just let the goat be sad, Sophia, Eva and Olga …
We spent the month in April in Hawaii. Practically every day we were in the water and watched in amazement the surfers catching and riding waves. We knew the trip would not be complete without surf lessons! So we found an amazing instructor not too far from…
Today's episode is a huge one, and we are very excited about it! As you all know, Eva started Dream Big when she was just seven years old back in 2016. Eva's little sister Sophia was born in 2015, and literally grew up listening to Eva podcasting and dreamin…

We spent a ton of time skiing this winter. We always had wanted to give our girls the gift of learning how to ski before their adult years. We had taken them for snow days here and there in prior years, but this season we decided to go all out. We bought sea…
Eva shares an important lesson about what we can learn from a glass of water, and it's not about how drinking lots of water is healthy (which it is!). Instead, it is an inspirational story about the weight of water. If you hold a glass of water for a few min…

At a family dinner a few weeks ago, the word NO became a subject of discussion and we were surprised to learn that our kids thought of NO as a "bad word." I guess that shouldn't be a huge surprise because kids are taught from a young age not to say no to the…
Love is not an easy emotion to describe. It's a feeling that you experience when you are giving or receiving love -- but certainly not easy to explain to a kid or even an adult. Unconditional love is an even more challenging concept -- this idea that you can…
Today's episode is rare in that Eva is telling the Big Dreamers something that they should NOT do! This is something that many parents (us included) have been guilty of far too often. But it is a really bad habit, and one that becomes harder to break as the …
Have you ever met someone who has far less than you in terms of material wealth but is way, way happier? These people are living proof that you don't need money to buy happiness. In fact, as Eva explains in today's episode, you don't need any reason to be ha…
