FOR MOTHERS WHO ARE FEELING A LITTLE BIT (OR A LOT) BURNED OUT AND LOST.
FOR MOTHERS WHO ARE FEELING A LITTLE BIT (OR A LOT) BURNED OUT AND LOST.
The Self-Assured Motherhood Program
For mothers who want to bring the best of themselves to their motherhood.
A guided course that helps you confidently design a motherhood that fits who you are and what your kids need — so you can finally love your days as much as you love them.
It can feel overwhelming…
Managing a calendar that never stops — practices, appointments, everyone's needs but your own.
Wondering if your kids will remember you as always a little too tired, too short-tempered.
Losing it over something small, then replaying it in your head long after it's over.
Realizing how fast this season is going, and feeling that panic that you're missing it.
Snapping over a slammed door or an eye roll, then wondering when you became this version of yourself.
Scrolling past a mom who seems to have this all figured out, wondering what she knows that you don't.
The list could go on!
You know you love your kids, but motherhood?
It can sometimes feel like a grind.
"I can't live like this anymore!"
You're not a bad mom for feeling this way.
and I know what it's like to love your kids deeply and still lose your patience, lose your joy, or both.
Before I became a mom, I was a high school English teacher. I loved it, and I knew in my gut I was good at it. But I happily gave up my career when my children finally arrived through adoption and IVF, because I expected to love every minute of being with them.
Turns out that motherhood was much harder than I expected. I was devastated to find myself feeling completely lost and unseen in my new role — and it showed up everywhere, including in a shorter temper than I ever thought I'd have.
I knew that I fiercely loved my children… so why wasn't I loving motherhood more?
I went to years of therapy to rediscover who I am — my values, my strengths, what actually fills me up. And something I didn't expect happened along the way: the more I understood myself, the less often I snapped, and the more I actually enjoyed the people I loved most. I started the 3 in 30 podcast to share what I was learning, and there are now tens of thousands of moms listening around the world.
Over the past EIGHT years, I've interviewed over 350 experts on parenting and self-development.
All along the way, I've been asking myself, “What are the common threads between these experts' work? Are there core principles that could help any woman create a motherhood experience that fills her with daily joy?”
After years of work, I have distilled the best of what I've learned into a 6-part framework to help any woman create a motherhood experience that lights her up, instead of drags her down.
The framework is based on 3 Key Pillars
KNOW YOUR SELF
Do you know what you like, want, need, and value? Are you your own closest friend?
HONOR YOUR NEEDS
Do you care for yourself as thoughtfully as you care for everyone else in your family?
LOVE YOUR PEOPLE
Do you bring the best of yourself to your relationships? Do you respect the mother/friend/partner that you are?
I built the program I needed back then,
so you don't have to figure it out alone.
INTRODUCING...
A comprehensive 8-month program for moms who feel overwhelmed but also underwhelmed by motherhood — built to help you trust your decisions and regulate your emotions by actually knowing yourself, not by trying harder.
Every job worth doing well comes with training. Motherhood is no different. This is a guided course with weekly classes (taught live on Zoom and replayed on a private podcast feed), so you can find your joy again, one small step at a time.This is a guided course with weekly classes (taught live on Zoom and replayed on a private podcast feed), so you can find your joy again, one small step at a time.
It is my mission to...
Help every woman know that she deserves to feel deeply fulfilled in every stage of her motherhood. And it's possible!
Yes, for you too! You can feel joy and confidence in your motherhood every day, and I would love to show you how.
Why do women sign up for this program?
Hear from our alumni
I was really really lonely...I took the masterclass and started to understand that things could be different–things could be better–and that there was a community of moms out there that were a lot like me. I saw the SAM program as an opportunity to not feel so alone.
Tiffany W
I think emotionally I had been seeking renewal in my excitement about motherhood. My fourth baby was incredibly hard, and it happened during COVID...it was just a hard postpartum. I wanted some of the magic back.
Addie W
I debated doing the class a little bit because I felt like I was in an okay spot. But I loved the idea of becoming a self-assured mother…I would second guess myself a lot. I often felt like I had to call someone, like my mom or my sister, to tell me what to do...
Valerie B
I was at a time where I was feeling very disconnected from being a mom. It just felt like one of those endless to-do task lists of like change a diaper, feed the kids, do the laundry, read a book, play with them...everything was a task.
Kristelle L
Prior to the class, I really struggled with indecision. I feel like everything felt important and it was so hard for me to decide. I also feel like I really struggled with anxiety because trying to decide what to do was so overwhelming–and then guilt, feeling like if I didn't do everything, then my kids were not gonna have the best experience or not be able to reach their full potential.

What Makes This Program Special?
01
Comprehensive Curriculum
You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, saved every reel promising the answer — and still felt like nothing quite stuck. SAM is different. It's a cumulative curriculum that builds month after month, each unit complementing the next, guiding you along a structured path toward real, lasting fulfillment in your motherhood.
02
Meaningful Community
In order to make real shifts in your life, you need to be lifted up by women who believe in you AND who are on the same path as you. Our online community of "SAM Sisters" will be a lifeline of support and friendship, as we all learn from each other.

What are the best parts of this program?
Hear from our alumni
Everything in this course builds...The real power is in collectively doing each pillar, one by one...The self-awareness has really been life-changing for me. It feels like it's actually a lot easier now to apply all of the parenting strategies I've been collecting over the years.
Abby C
I almost signed up for SAM for probably two or three years before I finally signed up. I have a hard time spending money on things, and I worried that I wasn't going to complete this class. ... But I would say if somebody is on the fence about whether to do it, this class is something that I have been able to follow through with the whole time because there is that weekly accountability, having the workbook and sitting down and taking the time to do the homework really helps like actually follow through.
Aubrie H.
I never felt like my time was wasted. The content is stellar. It is gold-star stellar...I am somebody who reads a lot, listens to a lot of podcasts, has taken some great courses, and some not-so-great ones. I was just constantly impressed cause I was like, 'That took me 20 books to learn and Rachel and Stacy explained that in 45 minutes!'
Annette M
When I was thinking about signing up for SAM, I had no hesitations because I already had decided that my own wellness, my individual wellness, needed to be a priority. And I think that there is no price tag that you can put on that. Like any other job, we have continuous education and continuous training. It is no different for us as moms. We have to continue our education and our training because our families are always changing and we are always changing.
Lindsey H.
Immediately from the get go, I was like, 'These are my people.' I felt like I belonged. Sometimes motherhood can feel lonely. Sometimes parenting can feel like a solo sport, and I just feel like the SAM program makes parenting feel like a team sport. I formed such strong relationships with the women there that made me feel buoyed up in my parenting journey. And that's not something that you find everywhere.

Hear from our alumni
I am more accepting of myself. Whatever situation I'm in, I know I have the power to change. And SAM has given me the ability to actually believe it! I feel more positive and I'm in a much better place. I don't think I could have made these shifts just by listening to the podcast. The program really made me dig deeper than I would have on my own - a lot deeper!
Mini G.
Going through SAM, I was like, honestly, this is like magic. I feel so much happier as a mom, which is, that's priceless right there. And when we talk about being a Self-assured mother, I feel like Yes, I am. Dang it. I'm a self-assured mother and it feels so good.
Sarah J.
We're so willing as mothers to like put our kids' needs first and invest in them and their activities and their growth. I have loved Rachel reminding us that only we can give our kids happy and fulfilled moms. Because if we're doing the same things over and over again and it's not working and we're not happier and we're not more fulfilled, then something has to change. And that might look like investing in ourselves with more time and money. And for me, SAM was definitely it.
ALEISHA M.
I've read all the books. I listen to lots of podcasts. Nothing else has ever lead to as much growth–because the accountability was there, and the real-life application was there, along with the personalized feedback.
Shelby Q
I'm such a different person if I think about a year ago, and my husband agrees. He's just like, 'it's just amazing.'... I feel like at the end of the class, I was in the best place of my life. If people are considering it, don't be intimidated by the cost and don't be intimidated by the work.

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS...
We've Got Answers
Here's the truth:
No matter how exhausted, lonely, regretful, or discouraged you feel right now… I know that you are a good mom, because you wouldn't be here searching for resources if you weren't.
But the real question is: Do you know that you are a good mom?
When you are self-assured, you know this, deep down, even on your worst days.
You trust yourself.
You like yourself.
You feel an undercurrent of fulfillment and meaning, even as you manage the mayhem of calendars, blowups, work deadlines, health issues, and too many decisions.
You can make decisions easily because you know what is important to you.
Your life isn't perfect, and you aren't perfect, but you aren't expecting yourself to be.
And that's exactly how you become the mom you always thought you'd be.
I want this for you! I want you to feel at home and at peace within your motherhood, so you can bring the best of yourself to your relationships.
The Self-Assured Motherhood Program can help you do that.
This program has helped over 300 women to find joy again within their motherhood, and we want to help you too.
