Welcome back to the Speakeasy podcast and to the very first YouTube episode.

If you've been wanting to watch these episodes with video, you finally can.

If you're listening on audio, we'll put a link in the show description.

If you want to jump over, hang out with my guest, Becky Thompson and I, you can watch me cry midway through the episode.

I'm excited to be on the YouTube side of things. We finally made it. It has been a process. But if you just want to hang out on audio, that's cool too. Like I said, this week's guest is Becky Thompson. She's the creator of Midnight Mom Devotional, which is how I originally found her forever ago when I was a young mom. But today we're talking about

her newest book. She's written a whole bunch. But we're talking about her newest book,

Healing Rest. If you have been with me over on Instagram, you know that this is something

that God is doubling down on in my life. And it has been a process and an undoing. And I feel

so honored to get to sit down with someone that I love and

trust who's she's just always been a couple of steps ahead of me in process and in wisdom and

talk about why rest feels hard and why it's valuable and how it's biblical and how we can step

into it and it's it's a great episode. Before we jump in, taking a quick

second to tell you about this week's episode sponsor, Scout Organic, I love them. Back to

school season is here. And even though we homeschool, things are still like kicking into gear for us.

So Scout is one of our favorite go-to snacks for forever. Their kids' snacks bars have only seven ingredients or fewer, and they're all organic. And right now, Scout is running one of their biggest sales of the year, the back-to-school sale. So you can get up to 30% off. You can build a custom box. Highly recommend because then you're getting all your kids' favorite flavors. You're not like throwing them away because nobody ate them.

So head to scoutorganic.com and use the code speakeasy for up to 30% off your offer during

the back to school sale.

Trust me, they're, they're so good.

I eat them too.

So let's get back to the show.

Blake, thank you for the invitation to come back.

I'm excited.
