You're listening to 3 in 30 takeaways for Mom's episode 172.

How to lighten your mental load.

Welcome to 3 in 30, a podcast for moms who want to create more meaning in motherhood.

Each 30-minute episode will feature three doable takeaways for you to try at home

with your family this week. I'm your host Rachel Nielsen. Thank you so much for being here.

children between us ages eight to 24. We have a combined 40 years of parenting highs and lows to

pull from, which is why we are particularly well qualified to do the work we are doing. That work

is shining a light on all of the unpaid, overlooked, and often isolating work women do every day.

We do this through our blog at 10task.com and our mobile app, TEND, Task Manager, and Journal.
