It is the birthday month of 3 in 30, and we are going to party! October 12th will mark 3 years since I launched 3 in 30 into this world. I am so amazed by how the podcast has grown and changed, and how it has changed me as a result. Every year for the podcast birthday, I invite listeners to share their own three takeaways because I truly believe that every single woman in this community has valuable expertise and insight to share. Today we're going to hear from several mothers from the 3 in 30 community who recorded their own unique takeaways. I hope this will inspire you to think of your own and share them within your circle during the month of October! (You can even win some amazing giveaways!

Their favorite place to fight is in the car, so Rachel is sharing three ways to get your kids to stop fighting in the car: Turn on a kids' podcast. The Nielson's very favorite is https://www.rebelgirls.com/pages/podcast (Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls), and they also love https://www.wbur.org/circleround (Circle Round) and https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grimm-grimmer-grimmest/id1436651521 (Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest). Use silliness to distract them. (Ex: Mrs. Pretzel Face..thanks Ralphie https://www.instagram.com/simplyonpurpose/ (@simplyonpurpose)!) Turn on a show and don't feel bad about it! *** Sarah Good is a mother of two living in Denver. After her appendix ruptured this spring (while 15 weeks pregnant!) she was stuck in the hospital for two weeks. Sarah is sharing three takeaways for how to ask for help:  Start small. Practice on a small scale, like when you’re hosting friends for dinner and need a hand prepping.  Be specific. The more specific you are, the easier it is for people to help you. Put yourself in the shoes of the helper, and you will realize that people want to help! *** Ashley Salisbury is from South Weber, Utah. She is a math teacher, and has three children ages, 5, 3, and two months. Ashley is sharing three takeaways for how to help your child be more successful at math:  It’s okay to make mistakes. “No one is perfect-- that’s why pencils have erasers.”  Make sure you as a parent have a positive attitude toward math. If you express negative thoughts at home toward math, that will be mirrored in your child.  You can do hard things, it takes practice just like sports.  *** Miriam Torres is the mom to two daughters ages 4 and 2. She is a sexual assault survivor and helps others heal through her company, Because of What Happened. Miriam is sharing three takeaways to help survivors of sexual assault, abuse, or trauma heal in a practical way: Determine what your “tells” are for when anxiety, PTSD and depression are going to act up. Predetermine how you’re going to counteract those things and remedy them.  Validation through affirmations. Emotions that are expressed and validated with empathy can be relieved.  Protect your children from sexual abuse by talking to them openly about their bodies, sex, and abuse.
