Happy Thursday Hidden Pearls Podcast!!

​As you know, movement, meditation and mindfulness are huge parts of our lives. It weaves through the work we do, the relationships we build, and if you've watched Receiver on Netflix, you’ll see how it weaves through the football we play and love.

​The yoga journey for the Kittle crew began in Iowa City Iowa, at what we still view as our home yoga studio, Hot House Yoga. The architect, principal guide, and leader in all things yoga for us​, was and has always been, Maureen Mondanaro.

In this episode we get into what Emma & Bruce were like in their early days on the mat, what it was like opening the FIRST hot yoga studio in the state of Iowa, the importance of always remaining a student, and how to move gracefully through the transitions of life.

While we haven't shared a studio in a few years, Maureen is still a big part of our lives as a friend and mentor. We are so excited and grateful to have her join us as part of our Women of Yoga series.

This week we are making a donation in Maureen's name to support an Iowa City School in need - Mark Twain Elementary.

You can access any of the movement, meditation or mindfulness practices we discussed on the show today, on Hidden Pearls Studio. For a limited time, enjoy a FREE month of Hidden Pearls Studio by using the code HPPodcast upon checkout https://hiddenpearlsstudio.com/join_us

John Bosa - Welcome to the Hidden Pearls Podcast!


This week Bruce continues his Mindful Parenting series with one of our favorite 49ers fathers, John Bosa.

As a former first round draft pick for the Miami Dolphins, John shares the highs and lows of his own career and the many lessons he has learned in raising Nick and Joey Bosa. Both of his boys were also first round draft picks and have been two of the best defensive ends in the league since they were drafted.


John is a passionate and caring father who made a lot of intentional choices about the way in which the boys were raised.

He shares his heartfelt and entertaining insights into the sibling rivalry between Nick and Joey, how they found their way into football as their primary sport, all that comes with being first round draft pick, and how they as a family navigated the issues they faced in big time football.


This week we are making a donation in the Bosa name to St Judes Children Hospital - https://www.stjude.org

In June we celebrated Pride Month. To keep the party going, we touched base with a group we are so proud and appreciative of, 49ers Pride.

Pride is celebrated in June for a number of reasons. (1) to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, (2) to honor those members of the LGBTQ community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/ AIDS, and (3) to recognize all the ways that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have historically impacted the world.

In this episode we are joined by Christina Jefferson, Senior Director of Inclusion and Culture with the 49ers, and Nick Clarke, who manages Fan Engagement for the 49ers.
Nick's role includes overseeing the direction and execution of promoting for 49ers Pride. He is also responsible for Emma's Women of the Niner's events, and can be blamed for giving Bruce the microphone at the 49ers rally in Mexico City before we cooked up some Arizona Cardinals!!!

Join us for a fun and lively conversation that reviews the history of 49ers Pride with the Niner's organization, how / why / when it was created, its purpose and outreach, and a look back over some of the main events 49ers Pride has been involved with. There are plenty of amazing events and experiences to get involved with throughout the year and you can find everything by becoming a FREE member of the organization by using the link below. We also hear of the work within the Niner's organization on building an inclusive and welcoming culture that recognizes all people. Continuing to spread love, inclusion, and kindness, we are proud to offer you this conversation about love and the power of truly "seeing" the other.
