This is a surprise mini-episode as part of a fun series where I introduce you to other wonderful podcasts that might bless and benefit your life. These shows are all produced by or part of the podcast network that I am apart of, Cloud10 Media. It has been so rewarding for me to collaborate with other podcasters who are working hard to get their important messages out into the world. The show I am featuring today is called Motherhood Meets Medicine. The Motherhood Meets Medicine Podcast is a space that brings all women together. It's for those who hope to be a mom one day, those who are already mothers, and mothers of mothers. The host, Lynzy, is a Physician Assistant in the Emergency Department where she has practiced medicine for the last 12 years. She brings in experts with formal training to cover everything about motherhood ranging from postpartum issues to feeding babies to managing toddler tantrums.This podcast provides candid, informal interviews that you can listen to while you're driving to work, folding laundry or whatever else your busy day may bring.For today's mini-episode, we are airing a clip with an interview from Chemical Engineer and Food Scientist, Erin, or “Food Science Babe” as she’s known throughout her social media channels. As a mom, do you ever feel confused about what you should be feeding your kids? The health and wellness industry can sometimes feel very fear-based, and it’s nice to get a breakdown from a professional on what’s actually happening. In this clip, Erin discusses what’s required to label foods organic and debunking the myth that food grown organically are always safer or more nutritious. You are going to want to listen this excerpt from the Motherhood Meets Medicine podcast, and then head on over to their feed to listen to the entire episode!**Listen to the full episode here, and subscribe to Motherhood Meets Medicine here.

Mom-life often feels anything BUT simple. Managing toddler tantrums, managing work deadlines, managing sick kids who call from school and mess up those work deadlines, managing emotional and behavioral needs… Is there a way to just simplify all of this? To cut through the noise and the distraction and gain more clarity around what actually needs to be done and what we can let go?Today's guest, Chanelle Neilson, is going to share some really tangible ideas for us on how to do just that. For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/270-simplifyingEpisode sponsors: BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

I have to admit upfront that I chose today's episode topic as the very first topic we would cover in 2023 for a slightly selfish reason: I chose to invite my friend Susie Salinas to come on the show to talk about family systems because this is the only goal I have set myself for this new year. In 2023, I want to invest some major focus and energy into getting good systems in place for the management of my home and family life: laundry, bedtimes, meal prep, grocery shopping, tidying, dishes, and morning routines are just a few of the areas where the Nielson family could use a serious reboot of our family systems. II am excited to take these challenges one at a time and focus on creating better systems to help them run well in our home. For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/268-family-systemsEpisode sponsors: BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
