506: The Episodes We Almost Skipped (and Why They Stayed With Us) // A 3 in 30 Birthday Celebration 🎉

Nine years ago this month, I recorded the very first episode of 3 in 30 in my closet, took a deep breath, and pushed publish. That night I celebrated with my husband and our two little kids, never imagining the people I'd get to learn from or the women I'd get to work alongside in the years ahead.

Every October I look back on that day with a little bit of awe and a lot of gratitude, and this year I wanted to celebrate the show's birthday in a way that felt especially meaningful to me, by handing the microphone to my team members Emily, Christy, Abby, and Steph, who are each sharing the 3 in 30 episode that has made the biggest difference in her life.

What moved me most about their conversation is that none of them expected their episode to be impactful. They came looking for help with their kids, or they almost skipped it altogether, and they walked away having learned something about themselves that shifted how they show up at home.

In this episode, you'll hear:

🎂 The praise strategy Christy says felt "a little bit like a con man" at first, and why she still relies on it

🎂 The permission Abby had been giving her kids for years but never gave herself

🎂 Why Steph dreaded editing the episode that ended up staying with her most.

If 3 in 30 has made a difference for you, the best birthday gift you could give me is to leave a review on Apple Podcasts telling me which episode stood out and why (I read every single one), and then share that episode with a friend. Thanks for nine years of listening!
