Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where each week we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women.

I'm Erin Kunkel.

And I'm Sarah Stone Street. We're so glad you're here.

Welcome back to the Strong Women podcast.

And today we have a return guest, one of our favorite guests on the podcast.

And actually, Kathy, you're the only guest we've had on three times.

This is her third time coming on the Strong Women podcast.

And we are just so blessed to have her again. Our guest is Kathy Cook. I gave away her

first name. She is author of some of mine and Sarah's favorite books, including her book

Eight Great Smarts, which we did a whole episode on that book, Eight Great Smarts. That's

actually episode 67. So listeners, you can go back to that one

if you haven't listened already. But our very first episode with Kathy is episode number five,

which means that Kathy came on our podcast when this was just an idea that Sarah and I had. And I don't know if you remember,

Kathy, but you were here in Southern California at the Maven Conference that my husband and I

were putting on. And we were eating dinner. And I said, so Kathy, Sarah and I have this idea.

And we were wondering if you'd be on our podcast and you were so supportive from the

very start and loved our idea and you came on and recorded with us when it was just Sarah and I over

Zoom trying to figure out how to record and do things all on our own. So all of that to say, if you don't

know who Kathy is, she is the president of Celebrate Kids. As I said, she's authored many books

and is a speaker all around the country and the world. And today we are having her back on

because she wrote a new book that Sarah and I love.

And just finished, it's called Resilient Kids, raising them to embrace life with confidence.
