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.

Hey friends and welcome to another episode of the happy hour podcast. I'm your host Jamie and welcome to September.

Remember you guys, I love September. It feels like we're getting into fall.

Football season is underway. My kids have already had games. I've got my first Texas longhorn game coming up this weekend.

And it just feels right. It feels good. My kids are in school. It is fun. And today's show, man, talk about just feeling right.

My friend Lisa Weddle joins me and Lisa has been on the show before. She's a dear friend of mine in real life.

And she's a new book coming out next week called The Hard Good Showing Up For God to Work In You When You Want to Shut Down.

And I'm telling you, I told Lisa on this show today is that this message that she has in here.

First of all, her heart is all over it. But this is a message for all of us. This is all of us feeling these feelings of wanting to shut down and needing to show up for God to work in our lives, even when it's hard, because we know there's good at the end.

And so we talk about that a lot. We dive into it. I do want to let you know she's giving away her first chapter for free before her book releases.

So you have time in the next couple of days to go check this out. Go to LisaWiddle.com slash Good.

And you can get the first chapter of this book and start reading that before it even releases next week.

You're going to adore our conversation that we have today. Also, we have a separate conversation over on YouTube.

So if you go to jmeiv.com slash YouTube, you can hear that when we talk about what does it mean to find our purpose?

How's God going to use this? How do we look for that? It is really, really, really good.

And the last thing I want to tell you before we jump into this conversation is you may have seen recently on Instagram and we've been talking about it here.

We've been talking about the newsletter is that I have a children's book that is being released in about a month.

October 5th, God made you to be you. It's a book that comes out. And I am so proud of this book.

I imagine kids and parents and grandmothers and aunties and caregivers and preschool teachers reading this book to kids and reminding them that God made them with the purpose.

The God made them who they are for a reason. And we can trust God with that. Oh, y'all my heart could literally explode thinking about this book.

So you can get it right now. You can pre-order it wherever you get books. Amazon, Barnes and Noble. Anywhere you get books.
