347: When Making Dinner Feels Like Drudgery // Rachel on Didn’t I Just Feed You Podcast Mar 13, 2024

Show notes

Making dinner for my family is…not my favorite. If you've been listening to the podcast for very long, you've probably heard me talk about this. It is a constant work in progress for me to figure out how to get dinner on the table, and one of the resources that has been helping me a lot in the last year is the podcast Didn't I Just Feed You. Stacie and Meghan, the hosts of Didn’t I Just Feed You, invited me on their podcast to talk about my journey with feeding my family and how I am learning to declutter the guilt and stress that I feel around this task. I had so much fun being a guest on their podcast, and they graciously agreed to let me air the audio of that conversation today on 3 in 30.

346: How to Tackle "The Talk" // Rowena Thomas Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

We've spent the last month talking on this podcast all about nurturing our romantic relationships and learning skills for navigating conflicts, building emotionally mature connections, and communicating about vulnerable topics such as intimacy, sex, and desire. This week's episode is, in a way, a continuation of that same theme…because how much more equipped will our children be for their future romantic relationships if we start talking to them now, in age-appropriate ways, about their bodies, their relationships, and their impact on other people? Conversations about puberty, sexuality, and everything in between can be extremely intimidating for parents, so thankfully, there are people like Rowena in the world to help us with these tricky conversations!

341: When your Partner’s Beliefs are Changing, and it Makes you Uncomfortable// Eli Harwood Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

In Monday's episode, we talked with therapist Eli Harwood about How to Be a Safe Place for Your Spouse, and one of her takeaways was that it's important to light up about the things that our partner lights up about. Sometimes our spouse’s differences don't feel very loveable to us, and their interests might even feel scary or threatening to us. I loved Eli’s response to my question about this, and I know you will, too.
