For mothers who are feeling weighed down by their expectations of themselves:
A step-by-step audio course to help you inventory your overwhelm, edit your expectations, and make room for more joy.
In motherhood,
the "shoulds" can feel overwhelming…
I should be able to stay perfectly patient with my tantruming toddler or raging teenager.
I should make homemade meals and gather the family around the table every night.
I should exercise every day and maintain the same pants size that I did in my early 20s.
I should prioritize family scripture study and prayer every day.
I should excel at work like I don't have kids– and excel at home like I don't have work.
I should plan weekly date nights and stay connected to my partner.
The list of expectations to be a "good mom" could go on and on!
You want to enjoy your children, but it feels like there is no room for joy in the midst of so much mental clutter.
As a mom, sometimes it might feel like your mind is an overstuffed closet.
If you were able to peek in there, you'd see baskets full of expectations for yourself and shelves about to break from the weight of your mental load.
Shoved in the back corner–behind the boxes full of your kids' extra curricular activities and your responsibilities at church, work, and home–there are probably some dusty dreams that you put aside years ago and have pretty much forgotten about.
Dusted across everything, there's a subtle layer of shame that has been collecting for years–for all the things that you think you're not doing well enough.
If only you could hire a professional organizer to get in there and declutter all of those "shoulds" like they would a Pinterest-worthy closet!
Well, you can't hire someone else to do this for you…
But YOU can learn how to Declutter your Motherhood, using the same steps that you'd use to organize a physical space, like a closet:
Take everything out of the closet, and organize it into categories. Get clear on what you own and why you own it.
Go through each of your belongings and deliberately decide what you want to keep (because it “sparks joy” for you) and what you want to let go of.
Put the "keepers" back into your closet and enjoy all of the beautiful space you've cleared out. Decide if anything is missing that you’re excited to add.
You can follow these same steps with all of the heavy expectations and to-dos you are carrying around in your "motherhood closet." I will teach you how!
mom of two miracles and host of the podcast 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms.
Before I became a mom, I was a high school English teacher. But I happily gave up my career when my children finally arrived through adoption and IVF because I expected to love every minute of being home with them.
Turns out that motherhood was much harder than I imagined. I heaped so many expectations on myself and felt crushed when I couldn't live up to them:
I should be treasuring the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom to my miracle babies, but really I felt so unfulfilled.
I should be managing the household chores and making meals with ease, but really I was drowning in tasks that I had no skill set for.
I should be taking my children on fun adventures and outings, but really I could barely get us all dressed and fed most days.
You can feel more confident and connected to yourself and your children–
so you can make room for what really matters to you.

This course was a godsend to me.
I had been feeling in a rut in my motherhood and my career, unsure of how I could feel fulfilled in both and unsure if it was even possible. The course was so motivating and inspiring that before it was even over, I was making changes and reaching out to people who I knew could provide me with the support I needed.

Rachel gave me a process that helped me figure out where I'm at, why I'm here, what I can let go of, and most importantly, how to add things I enjoy into my life
I came into this course really needing help with my motherhood. I love her podcasts, and this class built on top of what I've already learned from her
-Janet M
I finished feeling empowered that there are really a lot of options out there and "no" is not one of them.
Becoming a mother has been one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, and this course helped free me from limiting beliefs that were keeping me stuck and unhappy.
-Valerie B
I came out of this course with a personal, solid action plan for moving forward.
–just like her three podcast takeaways, but tailored to me personally. I've committed to a timeline of making my plan happen.
-Kayla
This course is worth every dollar and every minute.
Rachel’s passion to help other moms is so genuine and this course really gave me a sense of belonging–both belonging to other women who are all doing the hard work of mothering, and belonging to my role as a mother.
-Candace
For the price of a massage or a hair appointment, I found freedom!
I was hesitant to pay the money and invest in myself, but I just kept feeling like I should. I will be forever grateful! I highly recommend this course!
