Are you wondering how to have political conversations with your friends and loved ones without things turning, well... hostile?

Election time is here, and the political atmosphere is so divisive that it can feel impossible to have political conversations without things getting heated. 

So does this mean we just avoid talking about politics altogether? 🙊

Sarah Stewart Holland & Beth Silvers of Pantsuit Politics say, “No!” 

Their book I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening) has helped me so much in my personal life as I’ve learned to navigate tricky political conversations, and I’m so excited to share their three takeaways for how to have grace-filled political conversations. I hope you find it helpful as you navigate this election season!

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 5th grade. His formal diagnosis has been a huge blessing for our family, as it has 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. 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 have learned in my journey as the parent of a child with ADHD, and they graciously allowed me to re-air the audio from that interview here on 3 in 30.

Living with grief can feel heavy, dark, and confusing. It's a time when it's easy to lose ourselves. Grief looks different for everyone, and if you are in the middle of grieving, my heart aches for you. 

I have experienced loss, and I know the deep ache of grief. It's a tender topic that's close to my heart. That's why I'm honored to share Shelby Quinlan's story with you. 

Shelby is a former teacher and SAM alumni. She's mom to three girls, and she and her family have been navigating their grief this past year through the loss of a beloved grandparent and also Shelby's sister.

I am so impressed with Shelby's courage to share how she's navigating living with grief while being still in the middle of it. I hope you find her story as inspiring and healing as I have.

I always get asked who my Self-Assured Motherhood program is designed for - young moms? moms with young kids? stay-at-home moms? My answer is always emphatically: it’s designed for all moms! 

SAM is for all mothers - all ages, all stages, all walks of life. In fact, I often have the women in my program tell me it should be called Self-Assured Womanhood or Self-Assured Personhood because the principles apply so universally. (However, the acronym SAW and SAP don’t have quite the same ring as SAM. Don’t you agree? 😆) 

If you’ve been asking yourself if SAM is a good fit for you, you will love my interview with SAM alumni Wanda Opitz.

What does a spaghetti dinner have to do with my Self-Assured Motherhood program? 

Well, in this episode, I tell you! Come listen in!

My Self-Assured Motherhood Program is open for enrollment TODAY, and I want you to join!

SAM is not like any other parenting education you’ve participated in in the past – where you heard the lessons and felt like you understood them, but then you didn’t actually apply them long-term. This program was developed with your long-term success in mind. 

And that’s because the SAM program was designed by a teacher - a professionally trained, extremely experienced, and, at the risk of sounding arrogant, very gifted teacher. 🥰

If you've been on the fence about joining SAM, I hope you'll listen in as I explain why this program REALLY works.

This bonus excerpt is one I pulled from Eli's full episode that dropped earlier this week. (If you haven't had a chance to listen, I highly recommend it. It's one of the most value-packed conversations I've had on 3 in 30!)

Because it was so value-packed, we had to trim it to 30 minutes, and I didn't want you to miss out on this fascinating part of the conversation, so I decided to make it a bonus episode.

These thoughts from Eli on co-regulation for parents blew my mind!

I mean, I had heard of co-regulation before, but the scientific evidence behind it is fascinating! I had no idea there were nerve fibers that are activated when I caress my child, and these nerve fibers calm my child's heart down! It takes the old adage "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" to a whole new level. 🤯 

Eli's explanation of the science behind co-regulation helps me understand why it is so vital that moms proactively do soul-care. It literally helps us build a buffer so that we don't dysregulate when our kids are dysregulated. It's so powerful! 

(By the way, I just did a mini episode on soul-care! Click below to check it out!)

Taking care of ourselves helps us avoid losing our tempers and doing and saying things we regret. 

If you want to explore managing your anger so it doesn't negatively impact your children's sense of connection to you, be sure to attend my live online masterclasses over these next two weeks on how to "reroute your mom rage." Click below to sign up!

We all know how important it is to raise securely attached kids, but how to do it can be the tricky part! 

It's true what they say about parenting: The days are long but the years are short. I feel like the years are flying by with my two kids, who are both now in double digits, and I often find myself wondering how I can parent them in a way that will keep our bonds strong through their teen years and into adulthood - and in a way that they will thrive in their adult relationships after they leave my care.

This is why I've been drawn to the work of therapist and author Eli Harwood, who has dedicated her career to studying research on attachment theory and making it applicable to everyday humans trying to build secure relationships, whether that's the clients in her private practice, the hundreds of thousands who follow her on social media, or the people across the world who read her books.  

Eli's newest book, Raising Securely Attached Kids, will be released on September 3, 2024, and it was a thrill to have her back on the podcast to discuss this important topic.

Here we are! It's the final day of our two-week-long series on how to become more peaceful, confident, and happy in motherhood. 

I have loved this series, and it's also been a ton of work--more work than I had anticipated!

(Though I don't know why I didn't anticipate that airing a podcast episode every weekday for two weeks 🫨 would be a huge challenge. Sometimes things sound easy before you do them, and that was definitely the case with this series!)

But, despite the hard work, I'm so glad I persevered to give you a little deep dive into each one of my nine principles of Self-Assured Motherhood.

My goal for every woman who listens to my podcast or participates in my SAM program is this: I want you to feel more fully yourself as a result of the work that we do together - more deeply accepting of who you are and more able to nurture the best that's already within you, instead of wishing you could be different or "better."

Friends, if you want to do this work with me, I hope you will join my Self-Assured Motherhood program, which opens for enrollment on Monday, September 9th.

The mental load of motherhood is heavy, and I am always on the lookout for ways to lighten it. 

Can you relate? 

A surprising discovery I’ve made throughout the years is how dramatic a difference knowing and voicing our values can make in lightening our mental load as moms. When we know ourselves well enough to know our core values, we are able to decrease stress and pressure and build up the structure and support that we need. 

Knowing our core values is key to avoiding mom burnout! 

I was really grateful to have the opportunity to discuss this at the Happy Mom Summit with JoAnn Crohn. In the interview, I discussed 3 ways knowing our values can help lighten our mental load, and I’m so excited to share them with you today. I absolutely loved being part of the Happy Mom Summit. I hope you find these takeaways helpful in lightening the mental load of motherhood!

Values-based budgeting is the key to approaching personal finances without shame and guilt. 

Did you even think that was possible?! 🤯

Money is one of those topics that brings up a lot of emotion - usually negative. Guilt, shame, stress, anxiety, frustration… It’s exhausting! We feel guilt and anxiety if we spend. We feel shame if we’re “too stingy.” We feel frustration at ourselves or our situations. Does this sound at all familiar? 

I can imagine you nodding in solidarity. 

If you’re struggling with the burden of all of these emotions, you’re going to love what Jen Smith has to say. Jen is a personal finance expert and co-host of the top-rated Frugal Friends Podcast. She is also the best-selling author of The No-Spend Challenge Guide and Pay Off Your Debt for Good. She is legit!

Are you frustrated trying to figure out how to teach your kids to work? If you’re like me, you bounce around between different systems that are “going to work this time” and feel exasperated when they don’t. I don’t want to be a drill sergeant, but I also know it’s important that my kids grow up with a good work ethic! How do I find the right balance!!??

Thankfully, I was able to interview Danielle Porter. Danielle is a mother of six and someone I admire deeply because she's so careful and intentional in everything she does. I asked Danielle to come and teach me about teaching our kids to work, and to be honest, I was surprised by what she had to share!

I hope you find her takeaways as helpful as I did!

Do you like the idea of having a creative hobby but don't feel like you'd be good at it?

I don’t consider myself to be an artistic person, but the truth is, I never even attempt art, so how would I know?

We live in a society that is obsessed with productivity and excellence, so we often don’t give ourselves permission to try a new creative hobby just because we want to or because it feels relaxing or fun.

Lisa Funk of Hand Lettered Design believes that the benefits of having a creative hobby go far beyond a beautiful finished product. 

I can't wait for you to read what Lisa has to share.

It’s about that time of year when I start to look for home-organizing hacks for the summer. 

Are you like me and you feel like clothes are multiplying? 🫨 My kids (and even my husband and I!) are changing clothes multiple times a day between swimming, working, and playing out in the hot sun chasing our dog, Petra.

I am definitely feeling like it's time to get some good systems back in place in our home, and honestly, summer is a great time to do some organizing because we have more free time as a family. 

If you're also feeling ready to do a summer reset, my conversation with Jen Martin from Reset Your Nest will give you many great ideas.

Do you love the idea of family adventures but struggle with the actual execution? 

Daily life with children is an adventure in and of itself, and sometimes, that's all we can manage. But sometimes, we are in seasons where we want to get out into the world more together.

That's why I'm so excited about this special encore episode, so I can share this fantastic interview I did with Chamaine Wollenzein, in case you missed it the first time. She is inspiring! 

Oh, and if you're not a hiker or camper, don't worry - this episode is still for you! Chamaine and I discuss how a family adventure is any type of shared experience that is out of the ordinary. You get to do you!

Are you struggling to know how to teach your kids about money? 

Financial literacy for kids is so critical - we all know that. But it can also be overwhelming!

That’s why many parents (myself included!) have questions about (and maybe even some guilt over 🫣) how to teach their kids about money.

I have often felt like I'm not doing enough in this area, but I've also felt stuck and wondered where I can get started with it all. 

Can you relate? 🙇‍♀️

If so, you're going to love this episode with Abby Chipman. Abby is the finance director for 3 in 30, and she is a queen at managing finances as well as teaching budgeting skills to her family and those in her community.

She recently taught a class about financial literacy for kids at a retreat I had for the Self-Assured Motherhood program alumni. The women at the retreat loved it so much that I asked her to bring her three takeaways here so we could all learn from her. Enjoy!

Have you ever thought about using the Enneagram in relationships? If you don’t know what the Enneagram is or haven’t used it much in your relationships, you are in for a real treat! It is an incredible tool for improving relationships, and I am so thrilled to share it with you today! 

Now, a little backstory: For as long as I can remember, I've been a sucker for personality quizzes and profiling systems - anything that helps me understand myself and others more deeply. 

I think this probably started with taking quizzes in teen magazines with my friends while growing up in the 1990s. 😝 (Please tell me you were obsessed with these, too! For nostalgia’s sake, I looked some up and found this one - doesn’t it take you back?) 

Even now, in adulthood, I love learning about how I and others think and the differences between how we all move through the world. It fascinates me! 

I am excited to share with you a conversation I had with Enneagram expert Kelsey Lincoln who helps us understand how we can use it to improve our relationships. You are going to love it!

A strong parent-child relationship is so important, but it can sometimes be hard to know how to build one. 

It’s my honor to share an interview with my Dad, Mike Westover. He has had, without a doubt, the biggest impact on my life, my mothering journey, and how I am trying to build bonds with my kids. 

My dad is and always has been a rock in my life, and I've been trying to get him to come on the podcast for many years, but he would insist, "What would an old man like me have to teach all of the mothers who listen to your show?" 

Well, a lot, as it turns out! I know you are going to love this conversation with him as he shares three simple, yet powerful things we can all do to forge a strong parent-child relationship. it's an honor to get to share this piece of my heart with you on this week after Father's Day.

Today, I have a special bonus episode for the moms out there who are trying to work from home this summer, like I am. It can get so intense! It often feels like you’re not doing any of it well, especially with the kids home 24/7. 

As I was trying to prepare myself to manage this reality these next few months, I reached out to one of my Self-Assured Motherhood students, who is an expert in this topic, and asked her to record her best three takeaways for us. I hope you find them as helpful as I did!

My relationship with my dad is really special. I know firsthand how intentional fatherhood can impact a child’s life.

With Father's Day coming up this week in the United States, I've been thinking a lot about my Dad, so I invited a dad I admire to interview on the podcast. 

Now, this podcast is for moms, so why feature an episode about dads? Well, all of us here in this community - whether you’re in the podcast community or you’ve joined my Self-Assured Motherhood program - are working hard to become intentional moms. And moms often ask me, “What can we do to get our husbands on board?” 

Unfortunately, there aren’t as many resources about intentional fatherhood out there, so I’m thrilled to introduce my guest to you moms so you have an excellent resource to share with the dads in your life. 

My guest is Tal Eyre, and his new book, Dad Mode, reveals some of the key lessons he’s learned about fatherhood.

I’m excited to share with you three of the takeaways from his book in honor of Father's Day!

Do you have some fun trips coming up? Are you looking for travel tips for families?

Summer is here, which means that millions of moms - literally! - will be taking trips with their families in the next few months. There will be road trips, family reunions, bucket-list trips, and even day trips.

This season can be so much fun, but it can also be stressful. 

Riiiight? Tell me you feel this, too! 

This is why I invited Meesha Slade onto my show to share some travel tips for families. Meesha taught a class on family travel at my in-person Self-Assured Motherhood alumni retreat at the end of April. It was so timely for summer that I asked her to come on the show and share her brilliant tips with my entire community. You’re going to love it!

Figuring out how to parent teenagers can be … murky. It can often feel like we’re the bad guy no matter what we do! If you’ve been feeling at a loss for how to parent your teenager, and if you love Star Wars, Harry Potter, or The Hunger Games, you'll love the interview I did with Joey Mascio.

Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating!

As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program.

Do you remember those days?

My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid.

That’s why I’m truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I’m excited to share Janssen’s wisdom with you!

Parenting anxious kids can be stressful! It's hard to watch our kids struggle. If you have a child who worries a lot, avoids certain social situations, or even shows physical signs of panic when facing their fears, you might start to wonder, "Does my child have diagnosable anxiety? Or is this just part of growing up? And what am I supposed to do to help them?" Sound familiar? I’m raising my hand! This is a personal topic for me because I struggle with anxiety myself, and just in the last few months, my daughter has started to show some symptoms of anxiety.

If you’re like me, and these questions have ever come to mind, you will love my interview with Dr. Terri Bacow, a well-known expert in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I was thrilled to have a true expert on this topic!

How strong would you say your sense of community is right now? With my increasing work commitments and the ages of my kids,  I’m not finding the natural opportunities to meet up with other moms that I did when my kids were younger and going to playdates and parks and preschool. Building a community has become an increasingly difficult thing for me! That’s why I’m so thrilled I got to interview Jen Banks on my show. She inspired me to recommit to building a community—and not just any community, but a resilient community!

Today I have a special treat for you. I am re-airing the audio of a class that my dear friend Miranda Anderson, taught for a group of 3 in 30 listeners back at the end of 2019. Although it was awhile ago, the wisdom that Miranda shares in this class about decluttering our busy schedules is timeless, and I knew we all needed a refresher!

I have received feedback from listeners saying they'd love more insight into the background of 3 in 30: what’s going on behind-the-scenes of the business, what it's like being a working mom, how my family's doing…  all of the ins and outs. And I love sharing! I'm grateful that some of you care. So today, I thought I’d give a little 3 in 30 update. Enjoy!

I’ll confess that my house is often quite messy. I value order - I feel like I can think better when my house is clean! But with two creative children, a busy husband, a growing business, and an active dog, there is evidence of a lot of living in our home. Thankfully, Carly Thornock is here to help all of us learn ways we can intentionally manage the mess without having it get in the way of those relationships that matter the most to us.

As I hope you know, I’m hosting a free masterclass on Overcoming Overwhelm during the first week of April. I've been preparing for it the past few weeks, which is probably why an interaction with my kids stood out to me a few days ago when I was feeling super overwhelmed and had a lot to do around the house. Something that I have not been great at as a mom is teaching my kids how to contribute around the house, but I've been working on it. Listen in to hear my thoughts about some mindset shifts I’ve been having around chores, my kids, and how I talk to them about it.

Decision fatigue is a real thing, friends. I’m sure many of you are like me, running around with too much to do and too many decisions to make. My guest today, Emily P. Freeman, believes that regularly prioritizing time to reflect on the past will actually make our decisions in the present more clear and peaceful. As a natural go-getter and busybody, I am inspired by Emily’s dedication to slowing down and practicing self-reflection.

Making dinner for my family is…not my favorite. If you've been listening to the podcast for very long, you've probably heard me talk about this. It is a constant work in progress for me to figure out how to get dinner on the table, and one of the resources that has been helping me a lot in the last year is the podcast Didn't I Just Feed You. Stacie and Meghan, the hosts of Didn’t I Just Feed You, invited me on their podcast to talk about my journey with feeding my family and how I am learning to declutter the guilt and stress that I feel around this task. I had so much fun being a guest on their podcast, and they graciously agreed to let me air the audio of that conversation today on 3 in 30.

We've spent the last month talking on this podcast all about nurturing our romantic relationships and learning skills for navigating conflicts, building emotionally mature connections, and communicating about vulnerable topics such as intimacy, sex, and desire. This week's episode is, in a way, a continuation of that same theme…because how much more equipped will our children be for their future romantic relationships if we start talking to them now, in age-appropriate ways, about their bodies, their relationships, and their impact on other people? Conversations about puberty, sexuality, and everything in between can be extremely intimidating for parents, so thankfully, there are people like Rowena in the world to help us with these tricky conversations!

This episode is a continuation of the discussion we had last week with therapist Eli Harwood. Eli and I dive deeper into what to do when there's trouble in your relationship when you desperately want a secure attachment, but it feels like it's a long way off for you and your partner. How do you work to build your connection with them while also holding onto your connection with yourself?

In Monday's episode, we talked with therapist Eli Harwood about How to Be a Safe Place for Your Spouse, and one of her takeaways was that it's important to light up about the things that our partner lights up about. Sometimes our spouse’s differences don't feel very loveable to us, and their interests might even feel scary or threatening to us. I loved Eli’s response to my question about this, and I know you will, too.

Are you in a secure relationship? We all yearn for secure relationships. We want to be a safe place for our partner and for them to be a safe place for us. Sometimes, though, it can be hard to know how to do this. How can I be that safe person for my sweetheart? How can I encourage him to be that safe person for me? As part of our February celebration of love, I’m interviewing Eli Harwood, a licensed therapist, who gives insightful ideas to help us increase the security of our relationships. I know you’re going to find this conversation incredibly helpful.

As we head into a new year, I, like perhaps many of you, am feeling pulled to get back to basics--back to the essence of my life and what I want and the work that is most essential for me to be doing, both inside and outside my home.

We all want to raise kids with healthy self image and body image, but that feels so much easier said than done. How do we teach them the value of health and caring for their bodies without encouraging an obsession with health or with their bodies? How do we teach them to trust themselves around food and to love their bodies no matter what size they are, when we're raising them in a culture that is obsessed with diets and thinness?

I know this topic can be annoying for overwhelmed women. You may be thinking, "Sure it sounds wonderful to care for my self…but I am juggling the demands of my children, my job, my partner, and life in the modern world, full of so many distractions and demands." 

If you feel this way when you hear about "self-care," I hope today's conversation will provide a bit of a reframe for you–because self-care doesn't have to be completed when we are all alone and conditions are perfect.

At the heart of 3 in 30 are the 3 pillars of self-assured motherhood, which is a membership program I teach AND the core principles that I believe help all women create a motherhood experience that fills her with daily joy. The 3 pillars, or major themes of self-assured motherhood are:

1) Know your Self

2) Honor your Needs

3) Love your People

For today’s episode, we are re-airing episode 280 which is actually the episode that I aired when I very first introduced the Self-Assured Motherhood program several years ago. It covers three of the main principles we discuss in the SAM program, and it will set the stage for the series of encore episodes that we have coming over the next two months. I am so excited to revisit some of the best of the best episodes of 3 in 30 as we dive deep into the pillars of Self-Assured Motherhood, and this episode is a great place to start.
