Hello friends, happy Monday. Before we jump into today's episode, I have some thrilling news.

For over a year, I've been dreaming up a journal for mothers that I know will help us focus on

Welcome to 3 and 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.
