375: 3 Ways Voicing Your Values will Help Lighten your Mental Load // Rachel Nielson on the Happy Mom Summit

Author: Cloud10 August 12, 2024 Duration: 34:49
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!
