Episode 333, *How Can a Busy Mother Get Back to the Essentials*, was exactly what I needed to hear. As a mom, it's so easy to get caught up in the endless to-do lists and obligations, but Rachel’s advice in this episode helped me refocus on what truly matters. Her tips on prioritizing and simplifying were like a breath of fresh air, reminding me to let go of the non-essentials and focus on what brings real value to my life and my family. This episode is a must-listen for any mom feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of daily life.

She is validating, sincere and a pleasure to listen to. I’ve learned so much in each 30 minute segment. I’ve been listening for a few years, and since our kids are similar ages, I know I will be listening for many more. These podcasts have been a tremendous guide to my motherhood journey. Thank you, Rachel!

I’ve been listening to 3 in 30 since someone gifted me the flecks of gold journal over a year ago and have found it so helpful as a mom of young kids. There’s so much practical information shared and I appreciate Rachel’s authenticity and important topics covered.

I have been listening to Rachel for years and I love the content and education her episodes give to mothers in all walks of life! I learn so much and have doable takeaways to work on after listening. My favorite podcast!!

I used to love what she had to say.. but recently is more just “buy my course” “buy my journal”. I miss the actual podcasts.

I’ve only listened to 3 episodes and have enjoyed them all so far. My only criticism is that I’ve never listened to podcasts where the intro/promo is so long on every single episode. It’s especially annoying considering how short the shows are. Must you sell your services on every single episode?

I love the idea of making a podcast quick and easy to listen to and learn from! I'm really enjoying this podcast! It’s pretty much the only one I listen to! Great ideas for moms and families covering a wide variety of topics! Rachel is wise and kind. Great interviewer!

But not anymore.

I have been listening to 3 in 30 for almost 6 years and it is still my favorite podcast. Rachel has a gift for hosting a podcast- she is kind, insightful, thoughtful, and well-spoken. Her personality really shows through in this podcast and she is truly amazing. I am often in awe after listening to her episodes. I would be friends with her in real life if I could! She interviews wonderful, knowledgeable people and I often leave feeling inspired. I have been able to implement things from her episodes that have really made an impact on my life. This podcast (and Rachel) are truly amazing and I would 100% recommend it!

I found 3 in 30 at the beginning of my motherhood journey and I am so grateful! I have listened to every single episode and have learned and grown as a mother and person. Thank you for all you do Rachel!

This podcast is now a part of my morning routine. Love it.

I love Rachel’s take on podcasting. It’s so nice to have three actionable items in every episode that i can take and apply in my own life, coming from someone in a similar place as me who understands what I go through. I love this show, and love what I’ve learned from it. Rachel’s style makes me feel like I’m having a conversation with a friend at my house and she’s just the best.

I love that each podcast episode is 30 minutes long but is filled with incredible nuggets of wisdom on how to stay present in motherhood — even with the overwhelm. As a licensed child psychologist, I will recommend this podcast to the moms I know in a heartbeat.

My life has been changing for the better once I have found this podcast and it is also making me a better mom. Thank you

I like that the episodes are short and sweet with topics that apply to my life.

Love listening to this show. She picks great people to interview!

I love listening to Rachel every week! She is so kind, wise and authentic. When she says “hello my friends!” I feel like she really would consider me a friend. She doesn’t sugar coat things, but always gives concrete tips for ways I can be a better mom (heck a better person!)! I’m so grateful for this podcast!

This is by far one of my favorite podcasts! I’m a working Mom and adoptive Mom who is always juggling so many things. This podcast provides guidance, relief and support. I love that it has 3 tips in 30 minutes. It’s definitely The perfect set up for busy Moms! Love the hidden gems also. Please keep these up!

Rachel, Thank you for all your work in creating this podcast and community. I just listened to episode #273. Wow, what a gift you have for giving expression to emotion. You are so articulate and I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. This was a beautiful episode. I am so thankful for this resource as I navigate motherhood and all my other life roles. Hugs to you!!

I’ve been inspired so many times by these podcast episodes relating to being a healthy mom. The format is helpful for my brain to follow and makes it simple to consider and implement. I appreciate the personal touches to each episode too. Thank you for this contribution to the podcast/mom world!

I love this podcast so much! I originally learned about it at a “Favorite Things” party years ago. I have been hooked ever since and recommend it over and over. I don’t partake of a lot of “self-help” media. I was drawn in by some of the different holiday and/or tradition type episodes. Once I listened to a couple of those, I decided to go to the beginning and listen to them all! This podcast is so inspiring and the best part is that inspiration is attainable! I draw so much goodness from each episode that I wish I could expand my brain capacity in order to do ALL of it all at once. I used to save the episodes I really enjoyed and knew I wanted to go back to, but soon realized, I was saving more than I wasn’t. Even the episodes I don’t think are applicable to me or my phase of life STILL have something to take away. I am not a words person and I honestly can’t find the words to convey how much I truly love this podcast. Rachel is such a kind and genuine person. I’ve reached out to her a couple of times over the years and even as busy as she is, she has always responded! The first time I sent a message and she actually responded, I totally geeked out! I couldn’t believe it, haha! Love her! Love the podcast! So thankful I found it!!

This podcast continues to be one of my favorites - almost every podcast is relevant to my life and I feel like I always walk away with one actionable step that I can do that same day. I find myself sharing these frequently with my friends as well. Love it!

I cannot say enough good things about Rachel and the podcast. I love all the guests and variety of topics for motherhood. I really try to be intentional about my time and appreciate how concise and helpful each tip is delivered. I also love the summary of the takeaways at the end and makes me feel like I have actionable things to do that aren’t overwhelming. I don’t miss an episode.

I love 3in30! The 30 minute episodes are wonderful with doable concrete takeaways to help in my life!

This podcast is so relatable as a mom and it brings in so many topics mothers are faced with. The best part is the journal she shares- Flecks of Gold. It’s a simple reminder to capture those golden moments- record the moments and embrace motherhood. Thanks Rachel for giving great advice and encouragement. 🤍

I have recommended this podcast to all of my friends. I love it because it breaks everything down into 3 doable takeaways. Even in my frazzled brain, if I can't focus for 30 minutes, I can still gain something from the summary of the brief points. So practical, interesting, helpful and informative!

Being a mom is hard and I need all the help I can get so I am so thankful for 3 in 30. While folding laundry , washing dishes, or waiting in the car I can learn how to be a better person, wife and mother in just 30 minutes. Listening to this podcast is truly a form of self care. I recommend this podcast to everyone I know.

I’ve never loved a podcast more than 3in30!

Rachel is such a natural when it comes to interviewing and discussing varying topics with her guests. I’m always surprised how much I enjoy each episode even when I think I don’t need to listen or might not be as interested in the topic. It’s a must listen for moms!

I have listened to 3 in 30 for years and take away so much each week that helps me in my own motherhood. Rachel is so relatable and in touch with everything I need to hear as a mother of 5 young kids, I am so grateful for this podcast, it is the best one out there and my favorite one in the parenting genre!

This podcast has great advice on a variety of topics related to motherhood. It is very practical.

Sometimes talking a problem out with friends is a great way to give you new ideas on parenting, and sometimes listening to a podcast of breakdowns is a good way to get new ideas in a new perspective. This is a good podcast for that.

Efficient, inclusive, informative, relevant, helpful, and Rachel is overall a wonderful person and that shines through her hosting and her work in general.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time now and I look forward to the episodes coming out each Monday! Rachel is a wonderful host and I love the guests she brings on the show! I’ve learned so much from this podcast!!

What I love most about this podcast is how inspiring it is. It lifts me up when I need it most, and it also helps me process the hard feelings I have in my motherhood experience thus far. Rachel, you are such a warm person, and so easy to listen to. I appreciate your vulnerability, and honesty. As well as your knowledge! Thank you so much for creating this space for mothers of all kinds to find inspiration, help, and hope.

Rachel is so relatable! I seriously feel like she is my friend!

This podcast just gets better and better. I feel like Rachel is just a truly good person and it’s a blessing to have her spread the good to others. The podcast is always quality, thought provoking, and inspires me to be a better mom and person. It doesn’t leave the guilt trip that so many other parenting advice podcasts and pages do. I feel like Rachel could be my real life friend because of her compassion and how genius she is. This is one of the few podcasts that I have consistently listened to for years. There is something for every season of motherhood.

As a first time mom I have found the 3 in 30 podcast so valuable! I suffered through infertility for almost a decade before my son was born via IVF (I feel I can relate to Rachel on a lot of things) I thought being a mom would be so easy because I had been wanting it for so long, boy was I wrong. Being a mom is hard, tiring, and sometimes lonely. I was so grateful to find this podcast because she has so many wonderful topics that I think all moms need to hear, regardless of the age of your child(ren). It’s sure helped me to enjoy being a mother more. I’ve loved the topics on finding joy in motherhood, getting rid of mom guilt, organizing ideas, and ways to find more time in your day. Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast, you won’t regret it!!

Rachel is one of the most calming and real people I have met... Even though I have not met her. Haha! But I feel like I know her. 💜 I love that she covers so many different topics that are needed for moms. Her interviews are thought provoking and get to the point. So much knowledge in this podcast. Thank you for all you do Rachel! 💜 Jess

Love this podcast. So helpful to see the good in motherhood. I am constantly on the lookout for those flecks of gold. It has changed my perspective for sure!

I started listening to this podcast when my second child was a baby. I was struggling balancing motherhood with working and feeling like I wasn’t loosing myself. I love the three takeaways and that the episodes are only 30 min because I don’t have a lot of time. This podcast changed the way I parent and really helped me love this season.

My friend recommended this podcast a few years ago and I love it. It’s the first podcast I had ever listened to and still one of my go-to favorites. I love the length of the episodes, perfect for listening to while making dinner or running errands. Rachel is a great host and she has amazing topics and guests that are very relevant and useful. As a mom who has gone through infertility, IVF and the loss of a parent unexpectedly this year, I’ve particularly related to Rachel’s experiences with these difficult subjects and learned so much from her.

It’s also how I feel about this podcast!! 🤩 Not only does Rachel have the most delightful and reassuring voice, her research and interviewing skills are top notch! I love the variety of topics she showcases and her guests are always knowledgeable and articulate. I’ve been at fan for YEARS now and I always look forward to Mondays when a new episode is released! I am absolutely a more confident and competent mother because of 3 and 30. Thank you Rachel!!!

My title says it all. These podcast episodes are bite-size (compared to most podcasts) and gives great actionable items!

I stumbled across the 3 in 30 Podcast a couple of years ago and I’m so glad I did. I have a wide age range of kids from 14 to 2 and Rachel covers so many topics that apply to all of them. It’s so nice to be able to relate and take away helpful tips for being successful in Motherhood. Thank you, Rachel, for everything that you do for this mom community ❤️

I love this podcast and that it provides 3 actionable take always every episode. I esp love that the episodes are within 30 mins. Most mammas don’t have time for much more! I love the insights this podcast provides as well as the never ending encouragement for overwhelmed mommas. I always end an episode feeling uplifted and empowered. Thank you!!

This is hands-down the best motherhood podcast I have found. I have listened to almost every episode and have gained so much insight to help develop my parenting skills. I love how authentic Rachel is (and her voice is the perfect podcast voice, which is a little bonus). The 3 do-able takeaways in 30 minutes is my absolute favorite format - always a valuable use of my time. Every mom should listen to this podcast! It’s the best.

I was recommended this podcast by a friend and feel in love with it the first time I listened to it. Not only is content extremely helpful for parents, it’s also easy to digest and it’s recommendations are easy to apply to day to day life. I appreciate the diverse array of topics covered and Rachel’s skills as a host and interviewer!

3in30 has been such a valuable and transformative tool for me as a mom. I love how each episode leaves me with actionable takeaways so that I can begin to put into action the things I’m learning. Rachel is such a genuine, down to earth and relatable host. I appreciate her empathy and thoughtfulness and vulnerability. It feels like she’s a friend I know personally from being a long time listener. I am an early childhood educator, avid reader of parenting book and research, and have done a lot of therapy and personal healing work and feel that the content of this podcast is based in research and just resonates as truth. So grateful for you work you do Rachel and the way you connect and empower women throughout the world. Strengthening mothers strengthens everyone!
