Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour Jamie Ivey podcast. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a girlfriend to join me and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Hey guys, this is Aaron Ivy and I'm Jamie's husband and today I am taking over her podcast.

From slate in collaboration with Ford comes the new podcast Life on the Fast Track.

She around three Girl Scouts as they design build and race wooden cars in the Ford Girls Fast Track races.

We'll meet their families, use power tools and hear what happens when girls are empowered to put steam principles to the test.

Download and subscribe to Life on the Fast Track wherever you get your podcasts.

Guys, you're listening to episode 178 of the happy hour podcast with Jamie Ivey and you might have thought that you have the wrong show because you hear a man's voice.

But let me assure you you are in the right spot. My name is Aaron. I'm Jamie's husband and like I said at the beginning, I am taking over Jamie's podcast today because

my girl has written a book and it released yesterday.

And so I get to invade Jamie's office, turn on the microphones, flip the table on her a little bit and ask her all the questions.

She's a little bit nervous about coming in and being in the hot seat.

But I think you're going to love my interview with Jamie as we talk about her book and how she kind of came to this place where she believed that she could write it and have the vulnerability to tell her own story.

I ask her about simple things of how to write a book all the way to chapter nine, which I think is the most vulnerable chapter of the entire book.

And if you haven't purchased the book, you need to go right now and buy the book. You can get it anywhere you buy books. Amazon.

Lifeway.com, Barnes and Noble. Anywhere you purchase books online. Go get it now. You're going to love it.

All right, guys. Here is my conversation with the incredible Jamie Ivey.

Hey, Jamie. Welcome to the happy hour. Thank you. I'm so glad to be here.

Is it feel weird to be in the opposite chair that you normally are in?

It feels really weird because I don't know what's happening right now. And usually I always know what's happening.

You seem a little nervous like your foot is shaking. You're playing with your hands.

I mean, I am nervous. I mean, I sat down and I said, do you know where we're going with this interview?
