Welcome to the Strong Women podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women.

I'm your host, Sarah Stone Street.

And I'm your co-host, Erin Kunkel.

So welcome everyone to the Strongwing podcast, Facebook Live.

We're doing another Facebook Live.

And today we have really the privilege of having a guest back.

If you haven't heard Kathy's episode, her first one, which is all about her story and who she is, you must listen to that episode.

I think it's episode four. So Sarah and I have been anticipating today because we wanted to

have Kathy back because one thing we want to do is to continue to communicate our vision

for the Strong Women podcast and this community. So let me introduce Kathy

and then we'll start talking to her. But Kathy Cook, if you don't know who she is, then you haven't

been around Colson Center very much because Colson Center loves her. We love her. And she is the

president of Celebrate Kids. She is a speaker and an author. She's written many,

many of my favorite books. We're going to talk to her today about eight great smarts. I was just

reading this over this weekend as screens and teens start with the heart and other ones, but these are the

ones I just grabbed quickly. So author of some

great books. And she is a friend of Sarah and I. And just on a personal level, Kathy is just a kind

woman. She's a good listener. And she has just a genuine love for people, especially people who are struggling to find their place.

And so we love to spend time with her. And we love that she is doing this Facebook live with all of us

today. So Kathy, thank you so much for being with us. Well, you're very welcome. It is very kind of you,

Aaron. I love both of you. I love your

families. And ministering together to give more women hope and purpose is a real privilege.
