The mental load of motherhood is heavy, and I am always on the lookout for ways to lighten it.  Can you relate?  A surprising discovery I've made throughout the years is how dramatic a difference knowing and voicing our values can make in lightening our mental load as moms. When we know ourselves well enough to know our core values, we are able to decrease stress and pressure and build up the structure and support that we need.  Knowing our core values is key to avoiding mom burnout!  I was really grateful to have the opportunity to discuss this at the Happy Mom Summit with JoAnn Crohn. In the interview, I discussed 3 ways knowing our values can help lighten our mental load, and I'm so excited to share them with you today. I absolutely loved being part of the Happy Mom Summit. I hope you find these takeaways helpful in lightening the mental load of motherhood!  *** Announcement: Values Guide Workbook: Discover your personal values with my helpful and FREE Values Guide Workbook!

Welcome to Voices of Your Village, so this is a selfish episode because I really needed it. This is about how to declutter the "shoulds" in the holiday season. One of my challenges is like, Oh I should be doing this. I should be baking cookies with my kids. I should be doing family photos and holiday cards and getting those sent out. But all of these "shoulds" add up for me. And ultimately, I end up showing up as a parent I don't wanna be when it's a lot of things that really don't matter to me or that I don't super care about, but I can end up in that land of "shoulds". I got to hang out with Rachel Nielsen and talk about what it looks like. How do we declutter our shoulds? What does it look like to dive into what really matters to us? And then what about the guilt or the fear of missing out? Because boy, do I have that. This was such a rad episode and honestly, super helpful for me personally. I hope it's so helpful for you as well. And look forward to hearing your takeaways and what "shoulds" you are decluttering, what you are gonna let go of.

Rachel talks about how important self-care is and how we can look after ourselves without feeling guilty.

This episode is a bit of a role reversal with someone I admire SO MUCH.  I have been a longtime fan of Rachel Nielson's podcast 3 in 30: Takeaways for Moms. Each episode is 30 minutes long and provides 3 ACTIONABLE takeaways for listeners to go and do. She has over 250 episodes covering a huge variety of topics — from potty training to mental health to tips for not looking at your phone as much — and I've been honored to be a guest on her podcast in the past to talk about anti-racism. And on top of that, I'm lucky to get to call Rachel a dear friend and podcasting mentor of mine. But today, Rachel is bringing her takeaways to First Name Basis as I interviewed her about three takeaways from her anti-racism journey. Rachel is white, which makes this episode relatable and a great opportunity to learn for anyone who is also white or benefits from white privilege. But if you are BIPOC, this episode is a helpful one for you to hear too because it can be one you can share with people you want to be able to have real conversations with about anti-racism. Rachel is so open and vulnerable in this episode as she shares her takeaways, which are so profound in how foundational they are. Her takeaways are: 1) Be willing to acknowledge the possibility that you might be racist. 2) Start looking for examples of racism in yourself. 3) Diversify your community — both online and in person. I hope you take time to listen and reflect on what your own anti-racism takeaways would be.   Invite Jasmine to work with your school!

Have you ever wished that you could love motherhood, as much as you love your kids? That's a little line I borrowed from my dear friend, Rachel Nielson of the 3 In 30 Takeaways for Moms podcast, who is an expert on that exact subject. Motherhood is full of wonderful surprises, but also hard surprises, and it does not come instinctually to everyone, as you'll hear was the case with me and Rachel. If you struggle with what you think motherhood SHOULD look like, and would rather uncover what you want your motherhood to look like, Rachel has several actionable steps you can take. She uses the analogy of cleaning out a closet to explain the steps to declutter your motherhood, and it really makes sense. While this may be a long process, it is possible to feel some change right away, as you find joy and alignment in your role as the mother you want to be.

Rachel Nielson is the host of the popular parenting podcast, 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms. Each 30-minute episode gives 3 actionable takeaways to help women find more meaning in their unique motherhood experiences. Rachel lives in the mountains of Idaho with her husband and her two miracle children who arrived to their family through adoption and IVF. As a former high school English teacher, she loves to read, write, and talk about deep ideas...which has made podcasting a perfect career for her to do from home. Rachel and I first connected as podcasters who shared side-by-side rankings in Apple Podcasts Kids & Family top charts. Some may have suggested we were competitors, but we immediately saw one another's work as complementary. When we had the opportunity to meet in person in 2020, we were able to see that as colleagues, friends, and confidants in this industry we could lean on each other and build a really special relationship that could support us as women, moms, and podcasters. I so treasure my sweet friendship with Rachel.   We have spoken about guesting on each other's shows for years. To be honest, the challenge has been narrowing down what to talk about because we could talk to each other for days about so many things related to motherhood. But, I asked Rachel if she would be willing to talk about something deeply personal and special today - the adoption of her precious son, Noah. Listen in to hear Rachel share: Her family's journey into open adoption How she honored and did her best to center her son's birth mother, Katie, throughout the process of adoption The unfathomable grief she held for Katie the day Noah was born The trauma of adoption for adopted children, no matter how healthy relationships they have with bio parents and adoptive parents How she and her husband navigated building and maintaining positive and healthy relationships with Noah's bio parents, Katie and Drew How Katie's death by suicide shifted Rachel's perspective on the ethics of adoption What her family's relationship with Drew looks like - how he is so significant and special in Noah's life What she wants prospective adoptive parents to consider before going through the adoption process Links mentioned: Register for my 2023 Plan & Prep Pajama Party: shamelessmom.com/pajamaparty Connect with Rachel: 3in30podcast.com Rachel's Podcast: 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Get Rache's Course, 5 Days to More Meaning in Your Motherhood: 3in30podcast.com/sma Rachel on Instagram Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

Today I'm bringing you a mini episode to share a podcast I've been loving that is a part of Cloud10 Media - the network Minimal-ish is a part of. I've been so grateful to work alongside of amazing podcasters like Rachel Nielson, host of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms. 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms is hosted by Rachel Nielson, a lover of practical ideas, conversations with kindred spirits, and her two wild miracle children who keep life interesting. She combined all of these passions when creating her podcast. After a long fight to become a mother, Rachel truly believed that she would thrive as a mom from day one. Her transition into motherhood was a little bumpier than she had imagined, and she sought the help of professionals for actionable advice. 3 in 30 is a podcast for women who want to love motherhood as much as they love their children. Since moms are short on time and brain space, each 30-minute episode offers 3 actionable takeaways. 3 in 30 covers a wide variety of topics from how to stop yelling at your kids so much, to productivity and time management tips, to parenting children with ADHD or autism, to talking to your kids about racism, disability, mental health, and so much more. The tips and strategies shared by expert guests will help you make your family life a little better each week. If this sounds up your alley, listen to 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms on your favorite podcast listening app. Listen in to the rest of this episode (or any episode of 3 in 30) by searching 3 in 30 in your favorite podcast app or clicking here for Apple Podcasts.

How much does our community impact the choices we make? How do we find our path when it's conflicting with our perceived expectations? Rachel Nielson talks about how her upbringing and Mormon religion impacted her path as a mom -- she was expected to be a stay-at-home mom but it didn't feel right to her. She challenged the expectations of her culture -- and loves her career & life now (which also is earning her good money!). Then clinical psychologist Dr Lisa Damour has advice on how to handle change with your partner - husband or spouse or whomever - and if you're worried you're making the wrong choice being a stay-at-home mom or being a working mom - Dr Lisa has some very encouraging research she'll reveal!  In our Real Mom Moment Digital Creator Nicki Marie hilariously tells us what parenthood means to her - it involves her child's storytelling which is of questionable truth. **What did you think of the show?

Rachel Nielson makes mom life simple by getting rid of mom guilt. She says, "I thought kind of an overarching principle for me of how I have made mom life more simple is that I shut down mom guilt, and I have found that by eliminating unnecessary mom guilt in my life, my life does feel simpler. Less less chaotic, less emotional in a lot of ways. It's just more straightforward because I have a compassionate, inner voice that just says, Nope, we're not going there."

Many of us inherited meanings about sexuality from our families and culture that have actually inhibited our sexual desire. In this podcast episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Rachel Nielson from the 3 in 30 podcast to discuss these restrictive meaning frames and how we can shift our mindset to make room for more desire and a more fulfilling sexual relationship.

Mother's Day can be hard, beautiful, heavy, and joyful. Some of us have lost our moms, don't have children but desperately want them, or don't feel celebrated in a way that helps us feel loved. Others of us may love Mother's Day. Whatever your Mother's Day holds, I hope that this episode will help you lean into the joys, challenges, and beauty of motherhood and know that you are not alone in it all. This is the Flecks of Gold journal from Rachel Nielson of the 3 in 30 Podcast For Moms @3in30podcast This podcast does not replace professional or medical advice. We will be talking about sex, so some content may not be suitable for children and could be triggering to some individuals.

If you ever procrastinate, know you're not alone. All humans on earth procrastinate on some level. It's sooo easy to get lost in “procrastination loops.” (Enter: scrolling endlessly on social media.)  Procrastination doesn't just prevent you from getting things done, like doing the dishes or cleaning the house.  Procrastinating also prevents you from being the person you want to be. We even procrastinate our dreams, goals, and habits!  How can we disrupt these procrastination loops and manage our procrastination tendencies? Today I'm sharing an interview I did with Rachel Nielson on her podcast 3 in 30: Takeaways For Moms. You'll learn WHAT procrastination is and WHY it's super easy to fall into endless loops of procrastination and three ways you can better control your procrastination tendencies.

Rachel Nielson is the host of 3 in 30 Takeaways, a podcast for moms who want to love motherhood as much as they love their children. Each 30-minute episode features 3 actionable takeaways to help mothers thrive within their family life. In this episode, Rachel tells us how the practices of journaling and gratitude have changed her parenting. No, you shouldn't have to "enjoy every moment" of parenting, and it's a ridiculous notion that we should. But Rachel says noticing the "flecks of gold" in our daily lives can actually attune us to finding even more to be grateful for– and as the weight of those flecks accumulate, they can become an anchor to hold us steady during the tougher times. Rachel's "Flecks of Gold" hardcover linen journal is a beautiful place to begin this practice!

Studies show that approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies.  This unhappiness leads to body shaming and body punishing in order to achieve the "ideal" look (only 5% of women ever achieve this "look").  There are so many of you out there silently struggling with accepting and loving your body.  In some cases, that struggle has led to an eating disorder.  This is a topic that we do not talk about enough.  My guest, Rachel Nielsen, is with us today for a very transparent conversation about her battle with an eating disorder and journey to love her body.  We talk about:Rachel's breaking point--when she knew she had a problem that was beyond her controlHow shame tried to keep her from receiving the help she neededHow to support someone dealing with an eating disorderHow she learned how to diversify her coping toolboxHow sharing our experiences can help free someone elseAbout Rachel Nielson:Rachel Nielson is the host of the 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms Podcast.

In this episode, she shares about her eating disorder, how she was able to find help, and what she's doing to continually pursue a life of freedom with food and her body.  I'm so grateful she has allowed me to share some of her story with you and in the episode, we dive into what it looks like to be ok with being in the “messy middle” of healing your relationship with food and your body.

You asked, and we answered! We have had several requests for some episodes all about parenting, so here's the first one. This week we're talking about what we feel our roles as parents are, what discipline means (hint: it has less to do with the child than you might think), and who we look to for advice and encouragement. We're revealing some of lowest moments of parenting (and in our true nature, tears are shed), and also our proudest moments that remind us it's all going to be okay. So much of being human is a reminder that anything worth doing is going to be hard sometimes, and raising little ones is no exception. But, we hope to offer some cheerleading to those of you in the thick of it with us. Resources from this episode:Table Topics for Families - a deck of cards with questions to spark conversation at the dinner table. Michelle uses this to talk with her kids about silly and serious topics. Simply on Purpose - an Instagram account by Ralphie Jacobs, who shares lots of insight into positive parenting with tenets such as "look for the good" and "remain the adult."Simon Synek and Angela Duckworth discuss our desires for control in this podcast episode. 3 in 30 is another podcast we've referenced many times. The host, Rachel Nielson, is quoted by Jessica as saying, "Only I can give my children a happy and healthy mother."

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. She is ADORABLE!!! Rachel interviewed me about Fancy Free on 3 in 30. Listen to that episode here! Rachel's favorite TV line comes from this SNL skit.

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!

Being a mom is not an easy job. We all can agree on that most days.    I’m not saying that it isn’t a great job, but when you are knee-deep in a tantruming kid, a broken faucet in the kitchen spewing water all over you, all while your oldest is yelling that if you don’t leave right now she will be late to volleyball practice- Let’s just say it’s hard to focus on the good times.   In this episode, we are chatting with Rachel Nielson, host of the “3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms” Podcast and creator of the Flecks of Gold Journal. She helps moms love motherhood as much as they love their children. Rachel shares with us her thoughts on motherhood, the ups and downs, and how she has found a way to reclaim her joy during those rough days in parenting.   Find all the resources we shared in this episode here: https://www.noguiltmom.com/how-to-reclaim-your-joy-as-a-mom Use the discount code NOGUILTMOM to purchase a Flecks of Gold journal of your own for 10% off!

Chances are, you saw motherhood going a little differently.
