Thank you. Welcome to Cultivating the Lovely, the podcast for real moms who are seeking Jesus, trying to live their roles well, and working to add a little bit more loveliness to their life even in just the little

moments. I'm your host, Mackenzie Coppin Monroe from Cultivating the Lovely.com and bold turquoise

across pretty much all social media. And today I have a serious treat for you ladies. One of my

favorite guests is back on the show today, Sally Clarkson. You guys know I love me some Sally.

And this episode does not disappoint.

We talk about her and her husband Clay's new book, The Life Giving Parent, but I just felt like we were really able to go a little bit deeper into the hard times of parenting and how we can

be supporting our kids through those times and really creating hope for them and hope for

ourselves. And I think you guys are really going to enjoy this episode. But first, I want to get a little bit of business out of the way. As you know, I've mentioned, we're starting a book club this summer for the Cultivating the Lovely Patreon community. So if you are a member over there, we are going to be reading Sacred Rest by Dr. Sondra Dalton Smith. It's a great book. We read it. I had her on the show just a few weeks ago. It was so nourishing to my soul. It talks about so many different types of rest that we really need. I think you guys are going to love it and I can't wait to be talking with you guys about it. We're going to be doing live video sessions talking about that and going deeper with

it. I think you're really going to like it. So if you want to join that, then please come over and

join us in Patreon. You can find it at patreon.com slash cultivating the lovely. We have a private

Facebook group where we do live videos. And, you know, even if you've just loved the show for years

and you just want a way to help support it just to kind of say like a thanks, keep the lights on on this show because Patreon really does help to do that, then we would love for you to be a supporter, be a patron.

I really tried to give back and have lots of different things for the membership.

We're going to have lots of new things coming

towards the end of the summer that will be continuing on into the indefinite future with new

podcasts coming and really strong resources for moms to be connecting more with their kids.

You guys, I'm so excited to be releasing more information on this very soon because I've been hashing out all the details

with my good friend Katie Duckett, who has been on the show before.

We really entered into this endeavor together.
