I find that the tips that I learned from her and from living in Paris have helped me during

these times where I feel like I'm in the trenches.

Otherwise, I might feel like I've lost myself.

Welcome to Cultivating the Lovely. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa. You can find out more about the podcast at cultivating thelovely.com, in our Yellowbrick Road membership community at patreon.com slash cultivating the lovely, and in our Facebook group. I would also love to connect with you on Instagram, where you can find me at McKenzie Kappa. That's M-A-K-E-N-Z-I-E-K-O-P-P-A.

Ladies, I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and hear the story behind how it

happened, because it's a really interesting kind of

backstory of how it all came together and I was able to connect with Jennifer L. Scott. Now, if you are in

our Patreon community, which you can find at patreon.com slash cultivating the lovely, then you will be

especially excited about this week's guest because we are actually doing a book club of Jennifer's

first book lessons from Madame Sheik. So this is an opportunity to be able to go a little deeper

into that whole book club thing. But even if you aren't a part of Patreon, I think you're going to

love what she has to say. Jennifer spent a good amount of time during college in Paris and was really able to draw from

that experience about how she has lived the rest of her life and how she parents her kids.

And it was so interesting to get to talk to her.

She felt just like a kindred spirit and an instant friend.

So I can't wait for you to be able to listen to this week's episode.

But I did want to mention again, if you aren't in Patreon, go to patreon.com slash cultivating

the lovely and see what we have to offer there.

If you liked last week's episode with me and Rebecca, you want more of those.

You can find those over there.

I give a rundown every week of things that you can expect with the community.

I have behind the scenes interview posts where I talk about what it was like to interview
