Do you struggle to stay calm during your big kid’s big meltdowns? You’re not alone! As a parent of spirited, intense children, I have plenty of experience with big meltdowns and "bad" behaviors. It can be especially frustrating when the kid losing it is a big kid! If you can relate, you will love this interview with Cheryl Cardall!

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!

And yet, this so often leads to heavy, unrealistic expectations that leave us anxious, guilt-ridden, and completely exhausted.

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!

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.

Freeman, believes that regularly prioritizing time to reflect on the past will actually make our decisions in the present more clear and peaceful.
