Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour. My name is Jamie Ivy and I'm your host every

single week and I'm so glad that you're here. If this is your first show to listen to,

I want to say welcome. I really think that you're going to like it. I have some amazing

women that join me every single week and we talk about the little things in life, the big

things in life and everything in between. This week is episode number 45 and it's with

my new friend Shannon Martin. I had never met Shannon before she came on the show and

about his story in here. Her and her husband both used to work big time government jobs.

Now she stays at home and she's an author and her husband's a jail chatman. So we have

a lot of fun talking about stuff. We talk a lot about what it means to find peace in

the midst of the chaos and if you're like me, sometimes life just feels chaotic but yet

to say thank you to this week's sponsor of the podcast, Fun the Nations. Fun the Nations

helps people fundraise for their adoption and mission trip or cause by creating custom

low-cost t-shirts for them to sell. Their custom design work is always free and they set

it up where you pre-sell the shirts. So whether you sell 25 shirts or 25 hundred shirts,

you're guaranteed to make money off of it because every shirt you purchase has already

been paid for. They've worked with organizations like Compassion International and Lifeline

Children's Services and thousands of families just like yours. They help people raise over

one million dollars a year in fundraising and they love to help you fund your calling.

I told you guys before that I've used them and they're fabulous. My brother is now using
