256: Why "Unsexy" Elections Matter and How to Get Involved as a Busy Mom // Laney Hawes
I want to thank you for seeing an episode title that mentioned elections and thinking, "Yeah, I want to listen to this. I can give thirty minutes of my busy week to learning more about this." Sometimes easier to put your head down and focus on the to-do list in front of you than it is to learn about politics. Although it might not seem as immediately applicable to your motherhood as an episode on how to manage a tantrum or a rebellious teenager, the political atmosphere and policies in our communities and schools does matter tremendously in our lives and the lives of our children, so thank you for listening in. Today’s guest is Laney Hawes. I have been blessed by her effusive love for people and her passionate opinions on the world. I love learning from her, and I am so honored to share her with all of you via 3 in 30.

253: The 9 Pillars of Self-Assured Motherhood
ANNOUNCEMENT:If you've been listening to my show for the past couple of months, you know that I am in the middle of launching the second round of my nine-month program which is called Self-Assured Motherhood. This program only opens once a year, and I don't want any moms who need it to miss out on hearing about it and have to wait another entire year before they can sign up.Enrollment closes this Friday, September 23rd. I'm hopeful that today's episode will give you the push you need to sign up if you've been on the fence. Go to selfassuredmotherhood.com to learn more and to sign up before Friday Sept 23 at midnight.If you are listening to this episode on the day it comes, I do have one more live masterclass I am teaching tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1:00 pm MST where I will walk you through a detailed self-assessment to see how you are doing in each one of these areas. Sign up for the free class at 3in30podcast.com/freeclass. ***The nine-month program is built around nine pillars of Self-Assured Motherhood (we study one per month), and today you are going to get a taste of each of those pillars through the stories of some of the alumni of my program. I did little mini-interviews with these women and asked them to share one personal experience from their life that illustrates how they are embodying one of the core principles of self-assured motherhood.

252: Sanctify Your Soul-Care
Announcement:Today is THE day, my friends. For weeks, I have been mentioning that the Self-Assured Motherhood Program, or SAM as I like to call it, would be opening for enrollment soon, and I am excited to announce that doors for enrollment are OPEN now and will close again on Friday, September 23rd. This nine-month program only opens once per year, so if this has been tugging at your heart, please don't wait or talk yourself out of it. The first step is to sign up to attend a free online class that I will be teaching several times live over the next two weeks. This isn't just a sales webinar…this is actually the first class of my nine-month curriculum, so you can get a taste of what the program is like, even if you aren't sure you can commit to the entire program. Just go to 3in30podcast.com/freeclass to sign up, and the first class is tonight if you are listening to this episode on the day it comes out, so don't wait. I will be offering the same class several more times, so whenever you are listening to this episode, go to 3in30podcast.com/freeclass to find out more.***In honor of the Self-Assured Motherhood Program enrollment opening today, we are going to talk about one of the nine foundational topics that we explore in this program. When I emailed the alumni of the program and asked which topic had had the most impact on them personally, so many of them mentioned this unit- Sanctify Your Soul-Care, and they shared with me super poignant and powerful stories of how they had applied this concept into their lives, so I actually invited three of those women to come on the podcast today to share those stories with all of you--because I think every mom could probably use some help in this area.
