Welcome to Cultivating the Lovely. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa.

You can find out more about the podcast at cultivating the lovely.com, in our Yellow Brick 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, today I have an extra special treat for you because I am bringing you someone who is not

only hilarious and incredibly real, but she's local to me, which I think makes it even more fun.

Her name is Marisa Warwick, and I think you're really going to enjoy this episode that I have with her, where we talk about just general mom life stuff and seeing the good in things even when it gets hard, plus some other really interesting things about the home business that she runs and just life in general. So I think you're really going to enjoy it. But before we get there,

Can't recommend more highly. Listening to cultivating the lovely has become a treasured part of my week. It is refreshing and life-giving. Join McKenzie, the amazing host. I know you guys. She's a little too generous, but she's a friend of mine, so bear with it. With her wonderful lineup of guests, I can't argue with her there. As they share their stories, wisdom, and practical advice mixed in with lots of lighthearted and laugh-out-loud moments. This podcast offers solid hope as we all brave the big and small stuff

life daily throws our way. You will be encouraged to lean hard on God and to fight back with joy

in your day-to-day life as we all pursue what it means to cultivate the lovely together.

I love that shell. Thank you so much for summing up the show in that way. And it's exactly what I'm

wanting to convey with this platform, especially the togetherness. If you haven't joined us in our

Facebook group or over on Patreon, I really highly recommend that you do that because we are
