Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

Today I'm bringing you a mini episode to share a podcast I've been loving that is a part of Cloud10 Media - the network Minimal-ish is a part of. I've been so grateful to work alongside of amazing podcasters like Rachel Nielson, host of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms.3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms is hosted by Rachel Nielson, a lover of practical ideas, conversations with kindred spirits, and her two wild miracle children who keep life interesting. She combined all of these passions when creating her podcast. After a long fight to become a mother, Rachel truly believed that she would thrive as a mom from day one. Her transition into motherhood was a little bumpier than she had imagined, and she sought the help of professionals for actionable advice.3 in 30 is a podcast for women who want to love motherhood as much as they love their children. Since moms are short on time and brain space, each 30-minute episode offers 3 actionable takeaways. 3 in 30 covers a wide variety of topics from how to stop yelling at your kids so much, to productivity and time management tips, to parenting children with ADHD or autism, to talking to your kids about racism, disability, mental health, and so much more. The tips and strategies shared by expert guests will help you make your family life a little better each week.

In today's episode, we are bringing you a unique topic that we haven't approached on the podcast: Yoga, breath-work, and meditation.

Chelsea is currently on the road to motherhood, and she shares some ways yoga can help us in our parenthood, as well as ways we can use it to help our kids adjust back to school (her doctorate is in education, and she brings so much value to this conversation on how yoga can help our kids!)Even if yoga isn't your thing, I believe you'll leave this episode with something you can try either yourself or with your kids.If you want to try one of Chelsea's yoga classes, find her on the Peloton app!Links:Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts on InstagramDesirae on InstagramSponsor:Little Spoon: Head to littlespoon.com and enter code MINIMALISH for 50% off your first order.
