Whenever I was talking about being in a hotel lobby, I got nervous because it sounds a little like, oh. That's weird. Hampton Inn. What's happening? But this is really Right. That was funny. This is really cool. It's really cute. There's a chartreuse couch. There's this like really cutey little floral chair I'm sitting in with two of my fun friends online and in real life.

And then with my friend Chandler Ashcraft, aka Chan with the Boys. Hi. She's amazing. She's super fun. She's the stay-at-home mom

1:48.2

who's the stay-at-home mom who's never at home. I think that's a lie now, though. Because you're always at home. Well, like, because I'm like, or you're not a stay-home mom. Right. Like, I don't think that I can say that anymore. I think you should still okay I'll still say it's catchy yeah okay approved. Okay. So and I feel like we have also a ton of other fun little added guests, which is going to be a blast. So if you hear some friends in the background, they belong. They're not crashing. They're invited. That's right. It's going to be really fun. Okay. I want to know from the audience real fast. Who here do you think drove the farthest? Because I've had several conversations with girls and you've said you've come a long way. If you had to drive more than two hours,

2:22.2

Okay, I'm pumped. This is going to be really, really fun. So we just read for our friends that are listening a little excerpt from the book talking about how we break through the clouds, meaning that there's really hard stuff that happens, yes? Yeah. My pastor said this last Sunday and I thought, you know what? Copy and paste for a minute. So Joel, I honor you. He said you're either walking out of a storm, walking into a storm, or you're walking through a storm. And you might be like, Rachel, that's not positive. No, I'm positive. You're either walking out of a storm, walking into a storm, or walking through a storm. And I think that's all of our stories. So I think this conversation is really timely. I think it belongs where we are, what we're doing, and what we're talking about, which is loving your life, even when you don't like it all the time.

3:59.2

Okay, when you hear the book title, Love Your Life, even when you don't like it all the time. Why did I almost just forget it? Oh, I broke. Is there anything that comes to your mind that you're like, oh, yeah, this is a part of my life that I really,
