Chanelle Neilson’s background, and what she does

Hello and welcome to the podcast, Organizing Mom-Life for Success with Chanelle Neilson.

Chanelle is a life coach who helps moms with a side hustle who want to organize their day, and find balance between family and personal goals. As a mom of 5 kids, Chanelle Neilson knows that motherhood has its challenges—that’s why she is passionate about helping moms simplify so they can prioritize what matters and define success for themselves. She is the former host and creator of the popular Moms Who Know Podcast and the author of Parents Who Know, which has been translated into Chinese.

 

Hi Chanelle, and welcome to the podcast today. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Hi, I am so excited to be here.

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: We are so happy to have you. I'm glad that we are able to connect over Instagram and get this going because Chanelle works with moms helping them organize their life and their time and their schedules; and that is definitely something that a lot of moms that I work with and know – and myself included, struggle with. 

So, I think it'll be a really helpful conversation for everyone here. Why don't you dig in and just tell us a little bit about what you do, and how you got started doing what you do. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah, for sure. So, I've been in the online space for about five or six years, at this point. I started with podcasting. I had a podcast called Moms Who Know Podcast, and before I did that I was actually podcasting for a company in China; and I’ve loved doing podcasts, and just sharing with moms. 

But then in 2020, all my kids were home; I have five kids and they were all home, and it just – my husband also works from home, so seven of us home full-time. It just didn't really seem to be working out to find a quiet place to podcast, and I decided to switch over into life coaching. 

I had done some coaching before, and I got certified, but I wasn't doing it as my main thing. And so, I really switched to that in 2020; and I’ve loved working with moms. And for me, the fun is I love podcasting and I think that it's such a fun medium – but with life coaching, you get that interaction, right? 

Like, they're talking to you, and you're having a conversation. And so, for me, that's been really fun. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Yes. I love that. I have a few friends who listen to my podcast, and are like, 'I love it, it sounds like you're talking right to me.' And for those of you that are listening, I'm talking right to you. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Exactly. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: I loved listening to those comments. But I agree there's something different about actually taking it and implementing it through life coaching where you get to have that interaction, and you can say like, "This is what I'm struggling with personally." 

So, I think it does; it's a really cool thing. And you said you mostly do group coaching, right? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: That's right. Yeah. I love also that format of working-- So, not only, you know, I'm teaching them things and we are interacting together – but the connections that women make with each other and learning even from each other's questions, and teaching each other, it's a really cool format. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: It is such a cool format. I think that sometimes it's a struggle to first join in because you don't, not sure if you can be vulnerable or what you can ask or not ask or whatever – but once you do get comfortable, I actually think that the learning comes even more quickly. 

Because even if you don't think there's anything you have that you're struggling with and you don't really know what to say or how to say it, somebody else might. And we're all so similar. Don't you find like it's always like coaching on the same kinds of things and the same kinds of thoughts and mindset that we all deal with it? 

So, I like you just love group coaching. I think it's awesome, so fun. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah, and so cool. And you're so right, like people will bring up these things that either maybe someone was too scared to ask – but yeah, working together is just the coolest thing; it's been so much fun. And so, yeah. 

You also have a good point; it starts in group coaching a little bit. Like no one's quite sure they want to ask anything; and then by the end – I do three-month sessions – by the end, everyone knows everybody's stuff. They've all been able to say it, and bring it up; and it's all just out there. It's really cool. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: It's so cool. It's so cool that we get to co-create that. And there's so many interesting things that people have brought – that like, metaphors or ideas or tips – that I wouldn't have thought of; and I love that we can kind of create that together. 

So yes, group coaching's the best. There's a little plug for all the group coaching programs. I think they're awesome. 

 

Why Chanelle Neilson started the MOMS Life Made Simple program

Crystal The Parenting Coach: So, you have a program called MOMS Life Made Simple. Why don't you tell us a little about that; kind of why you started that program, the problem that you saw, and what you teach? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah. So, I feel like a lot of moms are hanging out, spending time in overwhelm that they aren't necessarily enjoying their motherhood, their mom life; they're just running ragged all the time. And so, I really like to-- I think just a skill that I have is breaking things down, and making them really simple.

And so, MOMS Life Made Simple, that's actually an acronym; MOMS stands for Manifestation, Organization, Mobilization, and Simplification. And so, those are the things that I work with, with moms to just break things down and make things happen in their life – just a little more smoothly, a little more easily, and a lot more joyfully. 

 

The struggles we face in organizing and simplifying our lives, and how Chanelle’s MOMS mindset can help us

Crystal The Parenting Coach: I love that. I love that. Tell us a little bit more about that. Like, what does that actually look like when people come to you, and they're like, 'I really want to love my schedule, love organizing my life,' and they're not? What does that MOMS mindset, MOMS Life Made Simple really do for them? 

 

Breaking down the acronym, MOMS

M = Manifestation
O = Organization
M = Mobilization
S = Simplification

 

Manifestation

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah. So, okay, I'm going to go a little deeper into that acronym to answer this question. So, manifestation means spiritual creation; that's the way that I think of that. Sometimes that gets a bad rap, it's a little woo-woo. 

I don't necessarily mean it in that way, but manifestation is like, yes, it's faith – is what it is. It's seeing that things can be different. It's trusting that God can work in your life, and it's seeing a vision of what you want life to be. 

You have to be able to see it in order for it to happen. And we get so stuck in the now that we can't even see until tomorrow, like what it's going to look like, that we lose sight of that vision. So, manifestation is thinking a little bit bigger. 

 

Organization

Then organization is kind of the nitty-gritty of like, what really should even be on my schedule in the first place? And then, what things really matter for me to get done in a day – and what things don't, and how am I going to plan those so that I--  

You know, we're all going to drop the ball sometimes, but make sure that it's the balls that can be dropped, the ones that don't really matter; and I'm doing the things that actually matter to me because--  

And that's really a key part there, because sometimes we're like, 'Oh my gosh, it's so important to have this super fancy birthday party,' when you don't care about that, your kid doesn't care about that. What really matters to you? 

 

Mobilization

And then, mobilization is habits and routines; that's taking action, small and simple steps, moving forward and really doing the daily reps that really get you to where you want to be. 

 

Simplification

And finally, simplification is just breaking things down. So, learning to say, no, is a part of that. And then getting rid of the extra stuff, the extra things in your schedule, the things that are not needed; and clearing those out so that you're really focusing on what's important, and not just what is urgent. And you're able to just really be in that place of simple and enjoyment. 

 

One of the key things in all of this is celebrating the good and seeing the good. And so, we focus on mindset work; and we work on, 'Okay, what is the good in this situation, and how am I finding joy? And where is the joy in this day, in this moment?' So yeah, that's kind of what we do. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay. I love that. I also believe fully in manifestation in the way that you explained it; and I do think people sometimes are like, 'That's too out there,' but it really is like creating thoughts and beliefs within ourselves that then helps us to feel a different way. 

And then, we do different things and that creates the results that we want to have in life. And I love your organization and mobilization and simplification, because I think a lot of moms come and try to put way too much on their calendar. 

They're like, try to do all these things and then all the balls drop and then they feel bad. And then from that feeling of bad, then like, you know, they do even less. And anyways, it kind of just gets into this spiral. 

So, I love that simplification is in there also, because I think that's such a key thing for us as moms. We can see other people and feel like, 'They're doing all the things, so let me do all the things.' 

And figuring out what we want to do personally – like, 'Okay, we can drop some of these things.' And that has definitely helped shift things in my life when I'm like, 'Does this even matter? Like, I don't have Pinterest parties anymore.' In fact, sometimes we don't even have birthday parties. 

I ask my kids like, "Do you want a birthday party or should we just like go away as a family – like, go on a trip?" And 9 times out of 10 they're like, 'Let's do the trip – like, that sounds awesome.' Right? That's what I would choose. 

So, I was like, what's going to be fun and easy and simple? So, I think those are such great tips; and I love that you put them in this acronym and made it this, like, step-by-step organized way to deal with organization. 

 

Incorporating morning routines (even for night owls)

Crystal The Parenting Coach: I think that it would be interesting to talk about morning routines a little bit because I know that a lot of moms struggle with that’ as you who are home during covid with your five kids and your husband, I'm sure you can attest to that kind of being a struggle in getting people up and going and getting the things done that we want to.

 

How and Why Chanelle Neilson started her morning routines

Crystal The Parenting Coach: So, first of all, why do you think that morning routines are important? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah, so for me I came to morning routines slowly. I wasn't like always this person who loved morning routines. I had my first four kids in six years, so we had a lot of little kids, a lot of craziness going on; and I really struggled. 

I always wanted to be a mom. And then when I had these kids so close together, I was like, 'What did I do? What am I doing? This is so hard.' And at that particular time, when my youngest – my then youngest – was probably like one, I was really struggling. 

I found out I was just stressed all the time. My husband would come home; and I'd be like, 'Ah, take the kids, I'm done.' You know, just done. And just really not in the happiest of places. And when I talk about living in overwhelm, that's what that was for me; I was living in that state of overwhelm. 

 

And at one point, it got so bad; I was having some physical symptoms – I noticed my belly just getting really like big and swollen and I, what is going on? And I went to the doctor and he ran me through a bunch of tests, and he said, "You're stressed, and you need to calm down." 

My cortisol level, stress hormone was really high. And I was so ticked. I'm like, 'That is easy for you to say; you don't have four little kids, you're here at work by yourself,' you know? 

That was my first reaction, was just to be mad at him. And then after I gave it some thought, I'm like, 'Okay, you know what? There's really no time for me.' My husband worked full-time out of the home. 'There's no time that I can see in the day that I have time for myself.' 

And so, I thought if I get up before the kids, that is the only conceivable time that I could have for me. And so, that's what started me with a morning routine. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Wait, wait. Were your kids sleeping through the night when you woke up? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: I'm like, 'Okay, this sounds difficult.' 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay. Okay. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: And let's definitely talk about that, because when I do talk to moms and their babies are not sleeping through the night, your number one priority is sleep. 

And your morning routine, I still think moms whose babies are not sleeping through the night can have one, but it's going to look a little different; either, it's the first feeding – while you're feeding your baby, you are reading scriptures or something inspirational, whatever that is for you, during that first feeding. 

Or maybe it's their first nap when you do your morning routine, but you're going to give yourself a little grace.

But yeah, that's when I started, and that's why I feel like it's so important; it's that time for yourself to really, like, intentionally start the day. And that's what I needed so badly at that point. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Hey, I love your story. I was just interviewing, on the podcast Betsy, who's a Body and Mind Coach; and she was talking about how physical symptoms relate to emotional symptoms, and how closely tied those are. 

And that's such a great example of that is that, you know, sometimes we're like, 'No, it's something physical – like, just give me a pill, give me the thing that's going to fix it.' And they're like, 'Actually, it's stress.' Anyways, I love that, and I love that that's kind of how you got started doing your own thing. 

 

Yoga: Chanelle Neilson’s morning routine that has helped with her stress levels

Crystal The Parenting Coach: How did you know that switching your morning routine was the thing that would help with your stress levels? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: You know, what I first decided to do in the morning was yoga. I had taught yoga for many years, and so I did a Yin Yoga, which is really a slow style yoga; you hold each pose for like one to five minutes. So, it wasn't about the physical for me, it was about the breathing. 

So, what I was actually doing at that point was, you know, reducing my stress. So, I don't know that I connected it right away – that like, 'Oh, it's the fact that it's a morning routine.' It was just like, 'Oh, it's going to-- It's getting in this yoga and this is the only time I have to do it.' 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Yeah. I love that because whenever I think about what's going to feel good for me, yoga's usually one of the top few things that comes up.

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: And I'm like, 'I don't know why, but like, that's what my body needs right now.' 

 

What does a successful morning routine look like to Chanelle Neilson?

Crystal The Parenting Coach: So, tell us about like a successful morning. So, now that you, you know, kind of set up this morning routine and you do it, what does that look like for you? And, how do your clients, kind of, develop what that looks like for them?

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. Okay. So, I started off slow, and then this morning routine has grown. I do usually about an hour, sometimes a little longer depending on the day. And what I do now is I get up and I journal. I have a few techniques that I use for journaling; I'll just touch on a couple right now. 

One is gratitude journaling; I do what I'm thankful for now and what I'm thankful for in the future, which is so powerful. And then I write what I'm excited about for, what I'm excited about today and how I choose to be, 'Today, I choose to be joyful - today, I choose to be calm.' 

Just going along with that manifestation, that spiritual creation, how do I want today to be? How do I want to show up? So, I journal, and then I read scriptures and I pray; that is something that, you know, I'm religious person, and that's something that's important to me is to connect with God. And so, that's my next step.

And then, I go and I do yoga, and then I follow that up with meditation. So, those are my five pieces in there that I do every single morning. And when I'm working with-- I actually have a morning routine challenge that I do, and we go through in a week, basically-- I say it's like clothes shopping, it's just you're trying on these different pieces; you wake up and you journal. 

How does that make you feel when you are journaling throughout the day? How does it make you feel when you're laying in bed at 6:00 AM, and you're like, 'Oh, today is journaling day – Oh, I don't want to get out of bed for journaling day.' 

Okay, maybe that's not your thing. Maybe that shouldn't stay in your morning routine. But on yoga day, if you're like, 'Yes, today is a yoga day, I'm going to go and do some yoga or some movement,' whatever that is, and you're excited to get out of bed. 

I just think the key here is pay attention, 'How do you feel about getting out of bed to go do it? How do you feel when you're doing it? And how do you feel after, throughout the day? How does it affect your day?' Because morning routines are magical because they ripple throughout your day. 

It's not just what you're doing in that moment; it affects you when you're getting dinner ready that night, it affects the way you sleep that night – it really does have a long-term effect on your day. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Yes, yes. I totally agree. And I love how you talked about just tapping into like, what we're feeling when we're doing it and what excites us. Because if we hate like weightlifting – and every morning we're like making ourselves wake up and do weightlifting, we're just going to be like, 'Nevermind, let's just sleep in – like, that's not it.' 

I think it's tapping into what our body really needs. Like I think that when we really tap into that inner voice of like, what feels like it would be so good and fun and rejuvenating that when we follow that, then it's going to make our morning routine so much more successful.

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And so, there is no one prescription for like, 'This is how your morning routine should be,' it really needs to be tailored to you. Although there is one universal do not do--  

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay.

 

Chanelle Neilson: -and this is a about 95% of people, they've done studies, about 95% of people wake up and go on their phone. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Oh, I knew you were going to say that. I'm one of those people. I have all my books on my phone, and I'm like, 'I'm doing all that.' 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. Okay. Well, highly, highly recommend not to do that because our phones are so tricky, right? Like a lot of people use them for alarms. So, you just go to turn off your alarm; and next thing you know, you're scrolling Instagram. What that does, if you think about it, there's a couple things. 

So, let's talk about brains for a second here. This is pretty interesting. Our brain in the morning-- Okay, while we're sleeping at night, our brains are-- This is a very simplified version, but the cleanup crew comes in; it's like the trash man comes, he takes out all the trash, all of the debris that's in there. 

And so, your brain is very clear in the morning, all of the extra stuff has been cleared out. That means you're most creative in the morning, and you have the most fresh ideas. 

Now, when you immediately start with your phone, you are putting yourself into a reactive mode, like, 'Okay, what emails came in? What input-- What did my friends post on social media? What input is coming in?' 

You're reacting to whatever came up when you have this most, your brain is at its most creative state. And so, that's why I journal first thing in the morning is because I want to get out all those ideas while they're fresh and new. 

And then my second part is connecting with God, with Spirit, because I want to see what he has to say to me when my mind is clear. And so going on our phone, there's more with that too. You've probably--  

We all know that when we go on our phone, and we check like social media and we have oh, a new comment or a new 'like', there's a little dopamine hit; and our brains get to where they like that. They're like, Ooh. 

Our brain is like the little dopamine anyway, but we're setting ourselves up to get more of that and to look for that all day. The longer in the morning that you can kind of not even check your phone-- And that whole morning routine for me, I try to not even look at my phone. 

Some days, I still do – but for the most part, not even pick it up because I don't want it to interfere with all those creative things that are happening. I don't want to set myself up to need more dopamine hits throughout the day. I want to be in control and to act in the mornings instead of being acted upon. I want that for me to be in charge instead of everything put upon me. 

And as moms, we're getting everything coming at us all day, anyways. And so, to have that downtime for our mind is really crucial. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay. I love that because we talk a lot in my program about being less emotionally reactive; and instead being, you know, choosing our reactions to things in a more responsive way, in a more intentional way. And I love this idea. I'm going to--  

I'm going to try to implement it myself. I'm thinking about how I can switch things around for myself, and actually get physical books instead of having every single on my phone – because I do think that just sounds really like simple, and also easy and rejuvenating.

 

What if you're not a morning person?

Crystal The Parenting Coach: What of, if you're not a morning person? So, if you feel like you're just like the night owl – you like staying up late, you don't love waking up early – and you're like, 'Well, a morning routine sounds great, but there's no way I can wake up before my kids.' 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yeah. Okay. Two things that I say to that; one is really look at your nights. I have a good friend who has told me for years that she's not a morning person. And recently, we had a conversation and she was like, 'Yeah, I fall asleep every night on the couch.' I'm like, 'You do?' 

And she said, "Yeah, me and my husband go, we get some ice cream and we watch TV until like 11:00 or 12:00; and I get so tired, I just fall asleep on the couch." And I thought, that isn't being a night person – that's just being bad to your morning self, is what that is. 

Yes, you might enjoy the night, but the thing is, we-- Okay, so this is the first part of it. We don't make very good decisions at night. By the time that we get to night, we have decision-- Fatigue is real. 

We've made a bunch of good decisions throughout the day. When the night comes, we're like, 'Whatever, I'm done – give me the ice cream, let me binge watch the show, I'm tired.' We're not like, 'Oh, let me come up with this creative new idea for how I'm going to, you know, teach a lesson or whatever it is that you're working on,' for the most part. 

So, that's the first thing I'd say is that we're not really always our best selves at night. Now, there are people who do feel like, 'Oh, I have this creative burst of energy at night.' 

But I would argue that if you are setting up your evenings properly and kind of winding down at night, you will have that creative burst in the morning, like even better. 

So, set up your evenings well is number one. 

And number two is if you really find that you're very groggy in the morning – even when you've gotten to bed on time, even when you've had a good night's sleep and a good wind down – then have a short morning routine, but still be intentional about it. 

And this is what I actually recommend for most people that I work with, 10 minutes. Get up 10 minutes before your kids – whatever that looks like – 10 minutes earlier than your kids, and have 10 minutes to do whatever that thing is for you, that keystone habit that's going to make a difference in your day. 

Put these other things, you know, in your day at some point, have these habits in your day, but make sure that that first little bit of your morning is really done intentionally. It doesn't have to be--  

You know, I am a morning person, and your morning routine doesn't have to be this hour-long wonderful five-step process. It doesn't have to look like that. It can be; get up and meditate for 10 minutes, and just see how that changes your day. 

So, that's my answer; it doesn't have to look a certain way. You don't have to wake up chipper singing with the birds to have a good morning routine. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay. I love that because I was never a morning person, and I did the same thing that you suggested; I really started switching my evenings, and that's what made the biggest difference. I started just trying to go to bed 30 minutes earlier – then later on, another 30 minutes earlier. 

And I started winding down, so I wasn't on my phone until like right when I was going to sleep. Like just trying to change that around. And through changing that, it's become easier to wake up earlier. I'm still not an amazing morning person. But that shift is possible even if you're listening to this and you're a night owl. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. Okay. I love it. 

 

Chanelle Neilson tip for those struggling with organizing mom-life

Crystal The Parenting Coach: So, I would love to ask you, I always ask people this at the end of my podcast, what's one tip – or more, you can give us more than one if you want – with someone that's struggling? 

So, maybe they're struggling with any sort of organizational aspect of their life; and they're a mom with kids, they're busy. What's like one little shift or starting point that they can start at? 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Okay, I'm going to say two things; one is what we've talked about today, is a morning routine. Get up just a little bit early and have time to yourself. You will find just that time to yourself, doing something that matters to you, will do wonders. 

And the second thing is to celebrate your wins every day. So, I am a journaler. I like to write things down; and every night before I go to bed, I write down my wins for the day. What did I do well? 

And if you're not a journaler, you can also just lay there and think about it, what went well. So often our minds go to the way that we screwed up today, the things that we did wrong. And we feel like, 'Oh my gosh, I did everything wrong.' 

But you might have done 10 things right. You probably did a hundred things right and you did one thing wrong, and your mind wants you to focus on that one thing you did wrong. So, look for the good, look for the wins. 

And when you start your day right with a morning routine, even if it's short, something that matters to you; and you end your day thinking of the positive and what went well – you are setting yourself on this trajectory of success so that things will start to look up and you'll start to do better, feel better, and notice that you're doing things right all-along. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Okay. I love that. I love that. I think our brains always want to point out the negative. They're like, 'These are all the things that you're missing, these are all the ways in which you're lacking or you're not enough.' 

And so, that idea of helping us give ourselves that enoughness, at the end of the day - just celebrating what we're doing, focusing on the positive, focusing on what's going really well, will be such a huge shift. 

Even if all you do is that – Even if you're like, 'Morning routines are not something I'm going to work on,' just doing that. 

Starting with some sort of a gratitude practice in the morning and ending with celebrating something that went well that day, some of your, some win; and it doesn't have to be huge either, it can just be like some small little thing that went well. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Totally. Yeah. Sometimes mine are very small, I made it through the day. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: Yeah. I'm still alive. My kids are all alive. 

 

Chanelle Neilson: Yes. 

 

Crystal The Parenting Coach: We're good. Totally.
