248: 3 Small Shifts that Lead to Soul Shifts // Rachel Macy Stafford

I first encountered the work of Rachel Macy Stafford in 2015 when she was a guest on one of the very first podcasts I ever listened to. I was struck by her warmth, authenticity and her message of "letting go of distraction, perfection, & pressure to grasp what really matters" in our lives. Today, we will be talking all about soul-shifts: what they are and how we can start to make them in our own lives as mothers. I can't wait for you to hear my conversation with a mentor I have loved from afar for a lot of years.  For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/248-Rachel-Macy-Stafford Episode sponsors: BetterHelp: Use the code 3in30 to get 10% off your first month of online therapy!

The sign ups were only open for a short time, and I was thrilled to have almost 90 women join the program. These amazing mothers spent the last nine months working with me on becoming more confident and content mothers and women. We had nine different monthly topics with masterclasses and coaching and Q&A, and it was absolutely amazing. I wanted to let you know that we are gearing up to launch the Self-Assured Motherhood Program again in September. If this is something that piques your interest that you might be interested in joining this year, I've created an interest list where you can sign up to get more information and to be the first to hear when the program opens for enrollment.
