“The truth is, I don’t like motherhood–and I desperately want to.” In August of 2016, I wrote these words in an email to a woman I’d never met before but had admired from afar, asking for her advice. In this episode, Kelly Jensen cheers every mother on with the reminder to value who we are as individuals–and know that it’s enough.

How To

Parenting anxious kids can be stressful! It's hard to watch our kids struggle. If you have a child who worries a lot, avoids certain social situations, or even shows physical signs of panic when facing their fears, you might start to wonder, "Does my child have diagnosable anxiety? Or is this just part of growing up? And what am I supposed to do to help them?" Sound familiar? I’m raising my hand! This is a personal topic for me because I struggle with anxiety myself, and just in the last few months, my daughter has started to show some symptoms of anxiety. 
If you’re like me, and these questions have ever come to mind, you will love my interview with Dr. Terri Bacow, a well-known expert in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I was thrilled to have a true expert on this topic!

Introducing…The Fertility Chick with Abbe Feder

How strong would you say your sense of community is right now? With my increasing work commitments and the ages of my kids,  I’m not finding the natural opportunities to meet up with other moms that I did when my kids were younger and going to playdates and parks and preschool. Building a community has become an increasingly difficult thing for me! That’s why I’m so thrilled I got to interview Jen Banks on my show. She inspired me to recommit to building a community—and not just any community, but a resilient community!

Letting go of your expectations of yourself can seem like an impossible ask. As moms, we want to do our best job! We want to be good moms! And yet, this so often leads to heavy, unrealistic expectations that leave us anxious, guilt-ridden, and completely exhausted. In this episode, I will share a sneak peek into one of the lessons of my Declutter Your Motherhood audio course to help show you how to begin letting go of those heavy expectations that weigh you down.

354: Letting Go of Heavy Expectations of Yourself // Sneak Peek of the Declutter your Motherhood Audio Course

For a limited time, I'm dropping the audio of my Overcoming Overwhelm masterclass so everyone can access it! Hurry and listen to it before it goes back into the vault on Thursday, April 11. 

This is an audio replay of the free masterclass that I taught this past week, designed with your busy Mom-life in mind. Whether you missed the live session or this is your first time hearing about it, this audio recording of the class is here to cater to your schedule and needs.

At the end of the class, you'll hear me talk about my Declutter Your Motherhood Audio Course, and I wanted to make sure you know that I'm doing a special Spring promotion on that course right now. If you sign up by 9:00 pm on Wednesday, April 10, you will get free access to a five-week accountability group that I am hosting in April and May. You will get to join me live on Zoom once a week so I can answer your questions about the course content, and you can connect with and learn from other intentional mothers who are going through the course, too. This is a perfect bonus if you are someone who generally needs some outside accountability and deadlines instead of a purely self-paced offering, and I am so excited to get to do this live group with you!

Sign up for the course at 3in30podcast.com/declutter. Can't wait to see you there!
