#15: Montana Lower: Profit For Purpose, Sacred Anger & The Real Village

Welcome to episode 15 of Edge Within with Mat Davenport.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Montana Lower, single mother, founder of INBLUEM, and a force of nature, to explore the raw realities of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and becoming who you're meant to be.

From childhood trauma to birthing a business with a six-month-old on her hip, from total burnout to building a real village, Montana shares her unfiltered wisdom on rejecting the pressure to be sane, embracing challenge, processing big emotions, and leading with both feminine intuition and masculine structure.

We dive deep into conscious parenting, why anger is sacred, the myth of doing it all alone, and how profit in the hands of heart centred people can change the world.

This episode is medicine for mothers, fathers, and anyone craving more authentic connection in a disconnected world.

TOPICS COVERED: - Why sanity is not the goal - Childhood trauma as rocket fuel for ambition - Birthing INBLUEM with a baby on her hip - Profit for purpose (and why money isn't the enemy) - Masculine and feminine polarity in business and relationships - The brutal truth of single motherhood burnout - Building (and being in) a real village - Conscious parenting: No more good girl, equipping kids for reality - Sitting in the swamp permission to feel it all - Holding space for sacred anger and big feelings - Boundaries that protect without controlling - Surrender, accountability and rising after rock bottom - Natural beauty, healing products and values driven business - Message to stretched mothers wanting to create
