Rachel Nielson of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Podcast tells us all about her confusion regarding condoms and the awkward conversation she had with her father. I CRIED I laughed so hard.

Rachel Nielson is a lover of practical ideas, conversations with kindred spirits, and my two wild children who keep life interesting. She combined all of these passions when she created 3 in 30, a podcast for moms who want doable takeaways to try with their families - strategies to help us manage the madness and maximize the magic of motherhood. Before her kids were born, she was a camp counselor for kids with disabilities, an international volunteer in an orphanage in El Salvador, and a high school English teacher. Then she and her husband struggled with infertility and went through the adoption process and IVF to get their two miracle babies. After all of her experiences working with children, and after her long fight to become a mother, she truly believed that she would thrive as a mom from day one. Let's just say, her transition into motherhood was a little bumpier than she had imagined. With a sense of humility and desperation, she started reading parenting books, attending motherhood conferences, and processing what she was learning by writing articles for parenting websites. Her podcast was the next step in that journey. She is excited to host a show where we can listen to experts share their best try-this-at-home strategies to help us create more meaning in motherhood.  And because she knows moms are short on time to listen to podcasts (and short on brain space to even remember what was in those podcasts!), she keeps each episode to 30 minutes with 3 memorable takeaways.   Get your cozy clothes at ShelfieShoppe!
