| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, Megan here. I wanted to ask you a favor. My book, the last parenting book you'll ever |
| 0:05.5 | read, comes out in May. And if you're planning to order a copy for yourself or maybe a friend or your |
| 0:10.7 | sister, pre-ordering is so helpful. Pre-orders of books kind of signal to retailers that people are |
| 0:17.5 | interested in a particular title. So then that retailer makes sure to order lots of copies from the publisher, |
| 0:23.6 | which means the book just has a way better chance of selling well. |
| 0:26.6 | And if you were planning on checking this book out from the library, |
| 0:29.3 | you can also ask your library to pre-order their copy in advance, which also helps. |
| 0:34.8 | I'm really hoping to get this book into the hands of as many moms as possible, |
| 0:38.6 | and I know this community can help make it a success. Again, it's the last parenting book you'll |
| 0:43.9 | ever read coming in May from source books, and you can pre-order copies on bookshop.org, |
| 0:49.7 | Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com, or requested at your local library today. |

| 0:57.5 | We're two moms with eight kids between us and we're the hosts of the mom hour. |
| 1:01.6 | On this show, we're joined by a team of unique mom voices from across the country and in different |
| 1:06.3 | stages of motherhood to bring you tips, ideas, and encouragement. |
| 1:10.0 | And to help you feel a little less |
| 1:11.4 | alone. We all know that motherhood is a lot easier when real moms share honest truths and |
| 1:16.5 | remind each other that it's all going to be okay. We're not experts. We're parents who've been there. |
| 1:21.1 | We're not perfect. We're real. Welcome to The Mom Hour. |
| 1:25.8 | Hey everyone and welcome to episode 515 of the mom hour. I'm Sarah Powers here |
| 1:31.0 | with Megan Frances. Hey, Megan. Hey, Sarah. Well, I'm very excited to be able to learn from you today. |
