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

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

Hey hey hey you guys, we made it to September. It feels like 2020 is the year that doesn't end to the tune of the song that doesn't end, but I hope that you are like me and you're trying to find all of the goodness in the midst of the hard.

Seriously, I'm so thrilled that we're entering into fall. It might be my favorite season of the year. Usually it's because of football and that might look different this year, but I love looking ahead.

And something that is super exciting that's looking ahead is that less than one month away, my newest book, You Be You, are closer than you think will be out into the world for all of you to have.

Now, there's still plenty of time for you to get your hands on all the pre-ordered goodies that I have for you.

Here's what you need to know is that when you pre-order a book, it's going to show up when the book comes out. You don't have to think about it, but we want you to pre-order so we're going to give you some things if you pre-order.

One of the goodies that we're going to give you is that you're going to be able to join me and some of my favorite friends for a private virtual event.

Think of it like a private happy hour. It's a happy hour book release party on September 30th. So I want you to be there. You're going to want to be there.

Text you be you all on word no spaces to 3 3 7 7 7 and we're going to send you all the links on how you can pre-order and how you can redeem your goodies.

Today's happy hour guest is a gal from sunny California who's been making a difference in the lives of many for over the last decade with her jewelry company the giving keys.

Caitlin Crosby joins me today and we chat about everything from body image, learning to know when to pull back from all the things, friendship and dignity with the homeless and how our embracing of our imperfections might be the key to your purpose.

Buckle up friends. This is a fun happy hour. Here is my conversation with Caitlin.

Caitlin, welcome to the happy hour. Thank you for having me.

I'm so happy to be here now. What you don't know is that to previous to COVID we would record all of our podcasts in person.

What that means is if there were no COVID the world would be a lot different all the things, but you would be here in Austin, Texas with me and we could actually have a happy hour.

That would be so fun. I do remember Robin from Harvard College. Yes. You would all that sad.

I know right.

So many things have been sad these days. That's one of them for me is I love interviewing in person. It's so much fun and I've missed that so much.

But thank you for technology because we still get to do it. Yes.

Okay. Introduce yourself to my listener. Tell us what you do. All the things.

Yes. Okay. So my name is Caitlin Crosby and I'm the founder and CEO of the Giving Keys where it's it started as a jewelry company where we employ people that are trying to transition out of homelessness to engrave inspirational words like hope, love faith dream belief.
