Welcome to Episode 228 of Live Happy Now.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, thanking you for joining us again this week.

Teaching positive messages to our kids is important, but oftentimes today it may seem difficult to find ways to do that.

However, two musically inclined, lifelong friends are making it easier for us. After becoming

parents themselves, Anne Montone and Jennifer Cook used music as a way to teach and explain things to

their children. They created the singing duo again again, and their debut full-length album,

Listen, Love, Repeat, is filled with positive, family-friendly messaging for our time.

They sat down with me to talk about their music, their message, and why parents are embracing it.

Anne and Jennifer, welcome to Live Happy Now.

Thanks for having us.

Yeah.

This is going to be a lot of fun because you're doing something that's very different and very fun.

You're using music to teach kids a really positive lesson.

And that's something I love.

We've talked a lot about music and how powerful it is here at Live Happy Now.

And the fact that you're doing it for children is a great thing.

So I guess to start, I wanted to find out how the two of you met. Sure. Well, thank you so much.

Yeah, this is Anne. Jen and I actually met during our first week of our freshman year at Occidental

College here in Los Angeles. We ended up having musical theater, you know, classes and things together.

And so, yeah, we've been friends for a very long time.

Yeah, we were both music people.

So we always tended to bond over music events and musical theater and concerts.
