I'm looking for a mom friend that wants to talk about motherhood, parenting, mental health, marriage,

friendships, and more. Unfiltered, of course. A mom friend that wants to feel less alone in all of her seasons of life.

If this is you, let's be friends. Come on over and listen to

Mama knows wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to 3 and 30, a podcast to help you feel more like yourself within your motherhood.

Each 30 minute episode features three actionable takeaways to help you become a more self-assured mom.

Someone who knows yourself, honors your needs, and loves your people.

Listen in to feel encouraged as we learn together how to overcome overwhelm and find more magic in motherhood.

I'm your host Rachel Nielsen. I'm so glad you're here. Parenting a child with big emotions, big reactions and a

neurodiverse brain can be a real challenge. I know this firsthand because my son Noah has always been

spicy and spirited and he was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of fifth grade.

His formal diagnosis has been a huge blessing for our family as it's given us a way to

research ways to support him and to help him understand his own unique brain and

body. One of our biggest sources of education has been the Childhood Collective, a website hosted by

three moms who are experts in child development.

Lori and Mallory are both child psychologists and Katie is a speech language pathologist and they offer incredibly helpful online courses, social media content, and a

podcast called Shining with ADHD. I was honored to be a guest on their

podcast earlier this year talking about what I've

learned in my journey as the parent of a child with ADHD and they graciously allowed me to

re-air the audio from their podcast here on 3 and 30. If you love listening to them

interview me in this episode you'll love their podcast which again is

called Shining with ADHD and I will be sure to link their work in the show notes.
