Okay, y'all, can we just agree that figuring out what's for dinner every night is just one of the most exhausting parts of adulthood?

That's why I love hungry root. It can plan my meals, fill my cart, and deliver everything I need for the week based on my preferences, budget, and any health goals that I'm working towards.

It takes that mental load completely off my plate, and that alone is such a gift.

And the variety is amazing.

They have over 50,000 chef-crafted recipes to inspire you in more than 1,000 grocery

items, so it's super easy to keep everyone in your house happy.

Lots of meals that they suggest come together in 15 minutes or less, which is a total win.

I also love that they screen out over 200 additives like high fruit toast corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, which is amazing. We just have Love Hungry since the start. The first time we did it, we actually let Hunger Root choose for us, which was kind of fun because we found things we might not have pit for ourselves. They also have, like I said, so many meal ideas, which is so great to have all of that in just one app in one place and then sent right to your door. So I know you're

going to love Hungaroo as much as we do. For a limited time, get 40% off your first box, plus get a free item in every box for life. Go to Hungarroot.com slash Woe and use the code Woe. Again, that's hunger root.com slash woe with the code woe to get

What's up sisters and friends? I hope you're having a great start to your week. It is about to get

so much better because we have a sister and a friend that you guys actually told me so many times to have. I haven't even told you that. But I did a little question box and I was like, who do y'all want to see on the podcast? And I'm not kidding y'all. It was like, Tara said, and Tara said and I was like, wait, this is incredible because I know her, but funny enough,

I'd never met y'all. It was like, Tara's son, terror, and I was like, wait, this is incredible because I know her. But funny enough, I'd never met her, but we've followed each other on Instagram for years. He gotten to do some things together. And I'm super grateful not only to have her on the podcast, but for her and her husband to be here in Louisiana. And we also get to shout out her new book, overbooked and overwhelmed. And I would just like to say I might be counseled for the next hour on this podcast because this is a word I need to hear desperately. But Tara, thank you for coming all the way from Oregon to Louisiana. It's a blessing that you're here. Oh my gosh. It's a joy. It's been really sweet. We love the hometown, like small town vibes. It's

been really sweet and really fun for us to get away and just like have us time. So thanks for having us. Y'all are diving in. I mean, we are on Louisiana, stay in here for a few days. You went, you got a restaurant DoorDash I never even heard of. Yeah. We're telling you some local recommendations. You are. I need to get more local. I'm like, what? No, but I'm super excited to

dive into this. of. Yeah. We're telling you some local recommendations. You are. I need to get more local. I'm like,

what? No, but I'm super excited to dive into this conversation. But before we do, I'll ask you the question we ask everybody, because I know you're ready for it. What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Well, I thought about two different ones, but I'm like, I need to go, like, kind of deep for this. Okay, let's go.

But the best piece of advice I think I've ever given is from my parents. And specifically like my dad, because he like really nailed this in with my brother and I when we were young. Both of my parents. But I just remember my dad saying it more. And he always told my brother and I to make our faith our own.

And he, like, we grew up in a Christian home. It was a really great foundation. But he's like, just because you have that foundation of faith in us or like, you go to church and you do all the extracurriculars, it's like, you can't ride on our coattails. And I think I listened to that for so long thinking like, oh yeah, like sure. And then like there was periods in my life where

I didn't do that, right? I didn't make it my own and I realized, oh, like, I need to make this real and personal. So that's like always stuck with me. And actually my parents are like middle school leaders at their church too. And they've done it for their whole marriage, like almost 40 years. And that's what like, if you ask any kid that's been in their youth group, they will tell you that. Like, it's incredible. It's just sticks with everyone, I think. Well, that's what like if you ask any kid that's been in their youth group they will tell you that

like it's incredible it's just sticks with everyone i think wow that's so cool that's so that's so cool

shout out to them for 40 years of like ministry and the middle school yeah that is incredible middle

school is the most intimidating group of people for me to speak to yeah i don't know about you but like
