Well this is a really exciting occasion because we're gonna be talking about your new book and as I was reading it it's fantastic and I'm really excited to just dive in and share with my listeners. It's called Joyful Courage, Calming the Drama and Taking Control of Your Parenting Journey. It's so perfect for my audience. And so I'm excited about that. And I just want to make sure listeners go back and listen to the first conversation, which was episode 20. It was almost three years ago, which is shocking to me. But it was all about positive discipline. So we'll touch on that a little bit today, but definitely if you're newer to the podcast and you haven't heard that, go back and listen because it was a great conversation.
But for today, if you could just take a few minutes to introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about Joyful Courage and your work, kind of broader work in the world, and then we'll get into the specifics.

I'm also a podcaster. So listeners, you need to come on and check out my show because I've had Debbie on a few times.

So chose to be home with them and then got really interested in parent education, especially considering my oldest daughter in my mind at the time was so like she was so easy and I felt like I was doing a really good job and
You know, so why wouldn't I wanna teach other people? And now looking back, I realize she nursed all day long. She was in the sling. She had to be in the sling all the time.
