Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

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.

Happy happy December you guys.

My guess for today's show is Jamie Grace.

Jamie Grace is a contemporary Christian music artist who started her career at the age

of 14.

Yes, she's made several albums and recently released the book called Finding Quiet.

My journey to peace in an anxious world.

Jamie lives on the West Coast with her husband and her daughter and she's back on the show.

She's been on before when she was a newlywed back in 2018, so I loved hearing about all

the life updates since she was last on.

On today's show, we talk about finding quiet through seasons of change, growing up in

the public eye as a teen star and the process of transitioning to her image from child fame

to a grown married woman with a family.

She also shares about her experience with mental illness and postpartum depression and

how important it is to seek help when we need it.

I think in a lot of ways, we all struggle to ask for help because it makes us feel inadequate

maybe or less than.

And I loved it when Jamie says, I cannot rely on my feelings which are so inconsistent,

I have to rely on the truth.
