Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to the Webby-nominated podcast, Moms don't have time to read books.

This episode has been sponsored by Lauren Gabrielson, which is a women's wear brand that creates elevated essentials for the modern women's wardrobe.

The collection is entirely designed and produced in Brooklyn, New York.

The Lauren Gabrielson woman values quality, versatile pieces that she can wear every day

that are customized to her body, her time, and her style.

And by the way, I have two Lauren Gabrielson headbands, which I wear all the time.

And you can see in my photos on my events page because I wear them everywhere.

And they're amazing.

And actually my six-year-old daughter steals mine all the time.

So anyway, Lauren Gabrielson.com.

I'm delighted to be interviewing Amanda Salishower, MSW today at Barry & Co. Bookstore.

She is the co-author, along with

Dale Atkins, PhD, of the kindness advantage, cultivating compassionate and connected children

everyday ideas for raising kids who care. Amanda is a social worker who's worked in both clinics

and private practice. She is a master's in social work and currently lives in Riverdale

with her three children, where she's actively involved in the community.

Dale, by the way, has authored seven books and is a frequent sought-after guest speaker and TV expert, and she's the one who co-wrote the book with Amanda.

Amanda currently maintains a private practice in New York and Connecticut.

So welcome Amanda to Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Thanks for having me.

Of course. And thanks to everybody at Barry & Co. Bookstore in Sag Harbor today.

And thanks again to Taylor Rose Barry for hosting. It's so much fun.
