Hi, I'm Adi Fieder, certified life and fertility coach, and I'm inviting you to listen to my new podcast, The Fertility Check.

I meet with women discussing professional success while pursuing unconventional paths to parenthood.

If you've ever struggled with or you're currently struggling with IVS, infertility, or pregnancy loss,

listen to the fertility check on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

My friends, today is the day. The Flexo Gold Journal is here, and I am frankly giddy with excitement,

because I know this journal will transform your outlook on motherhood and help you see the joy and beauty in your daily life.

I want every single mother in the 3- and 30 community to have one, and I'm so excited that it's now available to purchase as a pre-order at 3- and 30podcast.com slash Flexo Gold.

It will be delivered to you before Christmas, so you can give it as gifts, and be ready to start this new journaling habit for the new year.

I plan to sell this journal forever more, but I could only order a limited quantity for this first production run of the journal,

and the next batch won't be ready until after the new year.

So if this is something that you know you want to get started on right away, don't wait.

Go to 3- and 30podcast.com slash Flexo Gold today to make sure you snag one of these first edition copies, which also include a special limited time discount to celebrate this big launch.

You are going to hear so much more about the concepts and gratitude practices at the heart of this journal in today's episode, and I know that the takeaways will bless your life whether or not you ever purchase a journal.

These concepts are universal.

So let's dive in. This is Episode 156, the key to finding joy as a mother, even when it's really hard.

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.

I want to start today's episode with the motherhood experience you might relate to.

It was written down in my journal in January of 2015, and I'm going to read it word for word to you. This is what I wrote.
