Speaker 1: 0:40

Hello and you guys welcome back to the Fit Soul podcast and I am so excited to have back on the podcast today my friend Keri Watts.

Speaker 2: 0:51

Keri welcome. I'm so pumped to be here. Very excited yes.

Speaker 1: 0:56

In fact, you've actually been in the studio all day long, haven't you Correct?

Speaker 2: 1:00

I have. I have Since 8.30 this morning.

Speaker 1: 1:03

Yes, yes, and it's almost five o'clock, I believe. By the time we're doing this, she's been recording her book and we're going to talk about that.

Speaker 2: 1:09

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:10

Yeah, yeah, okay, you guys. So I'm so glad that you're here. We have got a great conversation. Carrie has been an inspiration to so many people. In the last time I had her on my podcast, we were promoting her book. It was launch mode go time she had. She was working her butt off to get that baby into the world and I just got to know Carrie last. I guess really it was over the summer that we started working together.

Speaker 2: 1:41

Yeah, I contacted you probably April or May and we started working together right about end of May, first of June. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1: 1:48

Okay, so Carrie's a one-on-one coaching client of mine, but we're not here to so much talk about that. We're here to really talk about her book and I want to talk about a bigger conversation around that. It's just about being activated and walking worthy and moving forward in your calling and doing it in obedience. And the reality is is that is a scary place to be. There are obstacles that are about to come and come at you fast and then, when you decide to move purposefully into your God's calling, you've got a doggone enemy, a target on your back.

Speaker 1: 2:29

And the enemy is like oh, let me sucker punch her with every insecurity she thought she ever had Any self-doubt that she thought was there. I'm about to amplify it and make it louder. So, I'm really excited because you've been such an encouragement and I really feel like an inspiration to so many people, Keri.

Speaker 2: 2:45

Well, thank you. I feel the same about you. That's why I hired you as my coach.

Speaker 1: 2:53

Okay, so first of all, give us an update. Well, tell us a little bit about your book. So I forgot to do a formal introduction, I'm sorry. Keri's amazing, and she is a wife, she is a mom to three boys, she's a daughter, she's a sister. I feel like there's a song that kind of goes with that as well. She's a follower of Jesus Christ and she is a new author.

Speaker 2: 3:18

Yes, yeah, you are.

Speaker 1: 3:20

And she's a podcast host. Yes, I'm so excited.

Speaker 2: 3:23

I love it and she's a keynote speaker. Yeah, done it once. Yes, do it again. Hopefully I'll get to do it again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very exciting. Yes, so welcome. Thank you, I'm glad to be here. Thank you for asking me.

Speaker 1: 3:35

Tell us a little bit about Crisis of Faith, your book, and tell us a little bit you've been on before so we've kind of shared the backstory to it. Yeah, but tell us what's happened since you've launched it and where it is now.

Speaker 2: 3:48

Okay great Well. It launched at the end of November and it sold 1,000 copies in preorder alone, which I did not know at the time. It wasn't until early December that my publisher sort of let me know, Because what happens in the publishing world is people buy books and sometimes they send them back, so they don't really tell you how many you've sold until usually about 90 days out.

Speaker 1: 4:14

And so we just well, I just want to like rewind that just a little bit. A thousand copies in preorder, especially for a debut, a debut book, is tremendous. I mean this is such a huge accomplishment. It speaks to you, it speaks to your level of influence, honestly, and it speaks to just God behind you and pushing you forward. So that was a huge accomplishment. I don't want that to like fall on. Oh yeah, I sold a thousand copies. Like no, no, no, no, no. You sold a thousand copies. That's amazing.

Speaker 2: 4:46

It's kind of wild, because our publisher used to hold up you know a certificate that was framed beautifully and you know, in his Zoom calls and say, hey, you know, I'm going to award y'all with this when you sell a thousand copies. And I was like dream, you know, I'm going to make that a goal and before I knew it it had been done and that was thanks to you for having me on your podcast early. I had another podcast that I was on early and that was that was a. That was huge. I mean, that was integral in that happening. Yes, I was asking people to be on my book launch team months in advance. Probably started that in August, september, october, before the book was launched in November, and so I was putting the message out.

Speaker 2: 5:34

But for now, in this environment that we live in, it's all about podcasting and social media, and I have so many friends that are afraid to talk about themselves online. But if they want to meet their reader, if they want to meet their you know, their ideal reader or their ideal servant, the service that they're giving, then you've got to, you've got to get the word out. And yeah, you mentioned my speech in Charlotte, north Carolina. When I did speak. I did tell my friends that, as nicely as I could say it is don't be afraid to talk about yourself online, because if the Lord has brought you to a place where he wants to use you, then that is where. That's where our people are right now. That's where everybody is, is online, where our people are right now.

Speaker 1: 6:26

That's where everybody is, is online. You know, I love that, and can we just like break that? Take that apart just a little bit, because when you have a mission, when you have a message, the way we do reach people number one is one-on-one. But when you're in a space where Carrie is and it's a published book, book, and it's getting it out to the world, then the marketing becomes social media. It becomes YouTube, it becomes podcasting, instagram, social media I don't know, are you on TikTok? I mean whatever it's like all of the places. It's an email list and sending out emails.

Speaker 1: 7:00

It's a very robust approach and it's getting the message out, and that's very different than self-promotion. Self-promotion is all about me, me, me, me, me. Look at what I'm doing. And that's not at all what your mission is at all, nor is mine, for that matter. So it's not about self-promoting and bragging about yourself, but no, it's rather about utilizing a platform. You know, I heard a podcast. I need to send it to you. It was so good. I'll have to look it up. I can't even remember the lady's name right now, but she was just talking about King Solomon and she said if King Solomon were alive today. As much content as he wrote, as quickly as he wrote it, he would have been all over all of the venues on set.

Speaker 2: 7:45

Like modern day, king Solomon would have been all over the places and I was like that's right.

Speaker 1: 7:48

I think that's absolutely right to get the message out, to get the kingdom message out.

Speaker 2: 7:53

Yeah, our publisher compares online social media to the Roman road. He said you know, the Romans built that to go take over the world. That's right. But then the Christians went out and were able to witness and testify in the name of Jesus Christ on that same road. So we can use it for good or we can use it for bad, and we choose to use it for good. That's right. And so, yeah, that's right. I thought that was a great visual. I love that. I love that.

Speaker 1: 8:19

Okay, so your podcast is called Saved and Strong is called Saved and Strong it is, and you started that since you were last on my podcast and that's going super well and that's on all of the platforms. You know Apple, all the places, Daniel Anderson, you use Alchemy Anderson, Alchemy Studios.

Speaker 2: 8:37

Audio Alchemy Productions. Thank you, I can never get it right. Daniel's like please get it right for the love, for the love, okay.

Speaker 1: 8:46

Right. Daniel's like please get it right for the love, OK. So yeah, so that's where we are today and you guys, if you're looking to do a podcast or do some recording, we both highly recommend Daniel. He's incredible. You'll love working with him, OK, so I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. When you were doing, when we were doing, coaching together, you said something recently. I can't even remember what we were on, but your emotion and we went through the high performance habits to kind of help you get through that last part of writing the book.

Speaker 2: 9:16

It was huge, it was huge right.

Speaker 1: 9:18

We set goals and deadlines and timelines, and that's part of what I do one-on-one work and it's a very customized process too. It's like here's the framework and then it's there's always fluidity to take this piece or that piece, whatever we needed to do.

Speaker 1: 9:35

But you mentioned something recently about how the habits and some of the things that you've learned have kept you going. So it wasn't just you weren't, we weren't just coaching together for that, but I wanted to just like as a woman who's in motion, who is purpose-filled. I think sometimes high performance can feel intimidating, like, oh, I don't know about that, let's just call it ambitious, driven, purpose-filled. But there are certain things that we have to have in place to move forward in a in, in a way that makes sense, and so I just wanted to ask you like we haven't had a talk ahead of time to say what are they Right? Just what are you using now still out of that? That's really helping you.

Speaker 2: 10:20

I would just say the day to day schedule, getting up early, getting everything written down in that high-performance journal is huge. Keeping the alarms on my phone, reminding myself, you know, spurring my brain on to not get distracted, to stay focused, to stay intentional about my day clarity of thought. Stay intentional about my day, clarity of thought. And, um, and just, you know, listening to your daily affirmations. Those are huge. When they came through, just seeing your name is like, oh yeah, I've got to do this. You know I've got to stay. You know, stay the course. Uh, because I can easily get distracted.

Speaker 2: 11:04

But now that I have the book out and the podcast, there's always something going on. I have, when you start, I guess, serving God in obedience, there is never a dull moment. I have people reaching out to me all the time. I've had people. You know. I laid this book at the foot of the cross a long time ago and I was like, lord, if you really want me to do this, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I don't feel like I have the tools, but if you really want me to do it, you're going to have to send the people. And the people have come. I mean, it has been amazing.

Speaker 2: 11:47

Yes, so, between my coaching with you and keeping all of those tools in my tool pouch as you will, knowing what to do is big, but also people coming to me and saying, can I help you with your social media, can I encourage you to do this, can I encourage you to do this, can I encourage you to do that? And just the support, people coming to me and telling me. I had a friend ask me if she could take me to lunch with her mom and they just wanted to tell me how much they enjoyed the book and why don't I have a Bible study to go with it and why don't I have a discussion guide. And now I'm starting a book club. You know, I mean it's just going to be that's. Don't ask me about that Cause it's not out there yet, but it's coming. And because people want to talk about what's in the book, because it's more than just a story, it's a way of life, you know it is a way of life.

Speaker 1: 12:40

Okay, there's a lot that I want to unpack in what you just said. I think I'm going to start from the end and then move back, but the book is called A Crisis of Faith and it's about two girls in their coming of age and one has childhood trauma sexual abuse and it's really written for adolescents, teens, young adults.

Speaker 1: 13:07

Well, it was riveting. In fact, I got an early copy. I was fortunate to get an early copy and I knew what the premise of the book was about, because I'd been coaching with her, so I knew it was coming, and any male that was introduced into the plot or story.

Speaker 1: 13:27

I was like son of a gun. It was him. I knew it was him and it was, and it was like the gardener, but anyway, I was on the edge of my seat reading the book. The book is so good. I don't think it is just. I think it's for adults and I love the fact that God's using you with this and that there's more coming. But I think it's just a conversation that starts to open up, because so many people are walking around with traumas that are unresolved and it's hindering and stopping all of the freedom that Christ wants them to experience here on this earth, even with all of the trauma that they've experienced before. It's possible, yes, in God's economy.

Speaker 2: 14:14

Yes, yes, and the story, you know it's funny. You write a book and you think you know it by heart and then, just rereading those chapters today, there were portions that I forgot, that were in there and that still make me emotional. You know that bring out emotions in me that I'm like I am just amazed that the Lord gave me those words Because I say, you know, when I sit down to write, I really do feel like God is the author. I'm just the fingers typing on the keys and I really do surrender that to him. Whenever I sit down and write, I'm just like you have to help me because I don't know what you want me to write today.

Speaker 2: 14:55

And so it has been an amazing partnership with the Holy Spirit just to give me those words. It's been an amazing partnership with the Holy Spirit just to give me those words. It's been real sweet, it's been a real blessing. It really has I feel like I finally found out what I'm supposed to do with the rest of my life at 50. And I say that all the time your second half is your best half, right? Yeah?

Speaker 1: 15:12

yeah, I loved when we were coaching, you would say I would wake up. I wake up early you were still finishing writing the book then but I wake up early and I sit and God sits right beside me and we just do it together and that's just such a beautiful picture of your partnership with God and that's what our lives are created to be. God wants us to to partner with him every single day. A couple of things that you really talked through in the book is walking in forgiveness and the power of that, the power of that, and that's it's freedom for us. Yes, freedom for us, yeah.

Speaker 1: 15:50

And then he gives us people and friends to walk it out with you know yes yes, yes, yes yes, and then the other thing that I wanted to like kind of unpack from that last thing that you just said was just the obedience that you have.

Speaker 1: 16:02

I mean, this is a daunting task and I work with a lot of women and a lot of women will never take the action steps, never move forward in it or take 20 years to do the project. And you did it. You were like no, I've got to do this, I have to obey, and I'm like you know you don't. You were like no, I've got to do this, I have to obey, and I'm like you know you don't have to.

Speaker 2: 16:23

Actually, I'm glad that you are A lot of people don't.

Speaker 1: 16:27

What can you say to the woman who is like oh, but that's Carrie, she's just. I mean, that's, she's just great and she's just this. But what can you say to her for her to move forward in her obedience, whatever that thing is that God's calling her to do?

Speaker 2: 16:45

Yes, yes, well, I read your email this morning about how you're reading through the Bible, and if you've ever read through the Bible, you know that, especially in the Old Testament, it is proven over and over and over when the Israelites obeyed, they received the blessing, and when they didn't, they did not receive the blessing and they suffered. And so I just knew that the Lord was calling me to this place of writing. I prayed about it for years and I stepped into obedience with my tiptoe. So I joined a writing group and then I would journal on my own and I started a blog. But it was a very quiet blog. It was on, you know, just something that nobody ever reads, and every now and then I would share one. And my mother-in-law was my biggest fan. She's like here you got to write a book, here you got to write it, here you got to write it. So I just, you know I'm in, in communication with God. I just said, you know, when you make it clear, when that door opens wide open, then I will know right, because you just know when the Lord makes it happen. And so, just one thing at a time, little by little, responsibilities were taken or, you know, moved on, and it just sort of opened my time up to write more, because, before you know, god's timing is not our timing and before I would not have had the time to commit, it would have been a much slower process. But now I do have the time to commit and I have the support from my husband and I have, you know, just kids that have grown, you know, and only one at home. He's very independent. So it just allowed for me to write more and to commit to the time, to, to, to serve him in this way. And it's been, it's been beautiful.

Speaker 2: 18:26

But I would say to the person that who's hesitating, who has the time, who has the energy, I would say that you know, just just read some of your favorite characters in the Bible. When they were obedient, they received the blessing. And I have, um, I have always had a 10 years out kind of rule for myself. In 10 years, when I look back, what am I going to wish I should have, could have done better? And so I always thought you know what, when I look back, am I?

Speaker 2: 18:53

Am I going to regret not doing this at 50 because I'm not going to have the energy at 60, or I'm not going to have the whatever. You never know what tomorrow brings. I may not going to have the energy at 60, or I'm not going to have the whatever you never know what tomorrow brings. I may not even be here anymore. So you know, I just didn't want to look back in 10 years and regret it, and I think the events in the world of the last five years really motivated me. I mean, between you know everything COVID, politics, all the things I had to get my mind off of that and for this, writing for me is therapy. It creating for me is therapy, whether I'm painting a room or you know, our pickleball.

Speaker 2: 20:43

Yeah, you know, and for some people it would stress them to the max. You know, it's not for everybody, but for me that just relaxed me. It really did.

Speaker 1: 20:57

Well, I think when God calls us to whatever it is, it's calling forth the way that he's wonderfully designed us. He created you to be a writer, to be a communicator. That was already inside of you and then you skilled up. This is what I heard. You took steps, you found a group, you found support in that Hope Writers and finding the right producer. You hired me. You continue to surround yourself with support. Your husband is a big supporter, your mother-in-law, as you mentioned. Yes, so you built for yourself a community and you joined a community and then you found more support when you needed that added layer of support to help you go and to do and to and to just be what, what? Let what God put inside of you come out.

Speaker 1: 21:53

One time we were and I just assumed you loved English and writing and like all of this stuff, because for me I'll never forget, because English is not like oh, here's. I'm like oh, is that? I mean I put the wrong words together. It's ridiculous, it's kind of funny actually, but um, I remember, I remember the first blog I wrote. It was a smoothie recipe and it was like one paragraph at the top and then the ingredients and then maybe a paragraph at the bottom. It took me like three days to write this one silly blog right.

Speaker 2: 22:27

It does take a while to create social media post.

Speaker 1: 22:30

It does well, I mean, I'm quicker now and better you get, better. That's the thing. It always takes you longer when you first start. But I just assumed you were like this beautiful eloquent writer and you're like oh no, I'm terrible, my grammar is awful, and all of this.

Speaker 1: 22:44

I was like, wait what? You just wrote, a book. How did this happen? I know, like you didn't let that stop you and some people would say, oh, but no, I need, I need to go get like an English degree or I have to go buy this course or I have to do. Whatever you didn't, you were just like you took messy, scrappy action and, girl, I just love that.

Speaker 2: 23:01

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Well, I am kind of competitive too. There is a little competitive edge to me and, and sometimes I give myself my own goals and I like to meet them and I like the reward of knowing it's done, yeah, so yeah, there's definitely that too.

Speaker 1: 23:16

Yeah, yeah, you know it's really interesting as that, um, they, they, the whoever they are. But there's some science around when you do something really, really hard in your brain, it breaks off more of dormant DNA. It, like it, actually unlocks and unleashes even more of your potential. And that's why, when we accomplish something really, really hard, it sucks, it's hard going through it, it's hard in the preparation process, but when you cross that finish line, it's like yes, I did it. You know, it just feels so good, it does, it, is it?

Speaker 2: 23:57

is definitely wonderful. Yes, but this time last year I was struggling to finish that book. It was. I didn't know if it would ever get done, to be honest, and because it was my first time, and you just don't know, in the mess of it, how to see the forest through the trees, you know, to see the, the, the prize at the end, you know, and I just, I just kept plugging along because in my mind I didn't want to ever say that I started something and didn't finish it. I like to finish what I started.

Speaker 1: 24:29

I love that.

Speaker 2: 24:30

And and I have too many crafts in my closet that I started and never finished. That's right, and I was like this is not going to be one of those.

Speaker 1: 24:37

I love that. I love that. Okay. So, carrie, let's just talk about that for just a little bit. I like that you were honest and said that you um, it was hard, it was hard, and I know for myself that in the things that I've pushed through, I have almost quit I don't know how many times. 't realize, sometimes they'll walk through that obstacle, they'll hit the natural resistance of doing something hard and think it's too hard and they'll quit in that moment. And so what could you say to maybe somebody who's in that, in that, what I was about to say ninth quarter, but that's not right Ninth inning or seventh inning or whatever whatever that analogy is supposed to be, where the struggle, the struggle is real.

Speaker 1: 25:44

They know God's called them to do something, but it actually feels too hard. What would you say to her or him?

Speaker 2: 25:52

Well, I would say that you know, if you've ever run a marathon, there are so many people on the sidelines that are cheering you on, especially if you're in New York, paris, Dublin and I ran in DC and you know it's just a lot of poster board. You can do this. I've run in Paris, ali Ali, that's like you go girl, but they're like more New Orleans, you know. They've got the bands and they've got everybody cheering you on. And then Dublin is well done, lassie, well done, and they've got the nursing home people in the wheelchairs on the sideline.

Speaker 2: 26:34

And so I say, like you know, I would say get some people around you, tell them what you're struggling with, don't do it alone. Have some cheerleaders, have some, some loving people who will encourage you, check on you daily hey, how's it going? I, and tell people what you're working on. Because I posted hey, I'm writing a book. I'm writing a book. I had more people walk up to me at the grocery store and say, hey, how's your book going? Have you finished your book? And I would say no, but will you ask me next time? Will you text me next week and ask me how that book's going?

Speaker 2: 27:04

And because I felt accountable I mean a capital A accountable with exclamation marks, a capital A accountable with exclamation marks. That's what kept me going was the accountability from people that, whether I hired them like a coach or a publisher or just a friend or an acquaintance, that was encouraging me to get it done. I can't wait to read your book. I'm like then you have the imposter syndrome come in. You know that's a whole nother podcast. But yes, you just keep going because you have that accountability and people wanting to know. They want to know more.

Speaker 1: 27:42

So I, just so you can hear this, somebody needs to hear this in this moment Self-doubt, check, insecurity check, imposter syndrome, check All of the negative emotions will arise at the highest level you could ever think. It will rock you to your core. There were a couple of times that I swear I was just under a desk somewhere, crying like a little girl. Under a desk somewhere, crying like a little girl. Just, you know, I quit. It's too hard and I didn't quit and you want to, but you've got to keep going. You've got to keep going. So push through, push through. Somebody is waiting. There's somebody on the other side that needs to hear what you've got, or whatever. This is that God's put on your heart, somebody. It's not even about you. It's about that obedience and I promise you what you have to offer. Just like Carrie, she probably had no idea it was going to reach and touch so many lives and it, baby, we, just we just getting started.

Speaker 1: 28:51

Like you just getting started, Like there's there's all the cookbooks even coming out of this stuff. I mean, who knows what's next? Right, yeah, like you're just getting started. There's all the cookbooks even coming out of this stuff. I mean, who knows what's next? Right, yeah, but somebody's waiting on that. And so what I heard was you skilled up, you got yourself in the right places to help nurture you, you were posting on natural accountability, you had the right support system and you had just a group, and so, as we're starting to wrap this up, one of the things that oh, wait, wait I wanted to share a funny story.

Speaker 2: 29:21

This made me laugh so much so.

Speaker 1: 29:24

Carrie was asked to speak a keynote kind of like. And that's a big deal to be asked to speak a keynote. She's a wonderful speaker and she was asked and she was like you posted something. And so she's now and I have a program called Walkworthy Mentorship and she's in that program. We have a Facebook group, we have community built in there and so she's got a whole group of ladies, walkworthy ladies.

Speaker 1: 29:50

You know a little shout out to all y'all, but we're all Team Carrie and we're all supporting her in there and she dropped something in the Walkworthy Mentorship Facebook group and said I was going to lead a breakout session, but they have asked me to speak on the center stage and do a keynote. Read that again. You said, that.

Speaker 2: 30:12

You said read that again. On the power of belonging, on the power of belonging and finding your people.

Speaker 1: 30:20

And finding your people, yes, yes, and so we were. She had a little. She had a whole group of people praying her up. It's a big deal to to speak a keynote, to speak for the first time, is a big deal, and so she had all of these things and she was so excited about it and she had us on a group and she's like, okay, I'm going up and she had a whole group of people praying for her. Well, I knew she had was probably through speaking, and so I text her on the side. I'm like, how did it go? And your response was classic I loved it. You said I was a hit, I loved it, you said I was a hit.

Speaker 2: 30:56

They loved me. I just love that so much.

Speaker 2: 30:58

Oh yeah, all my friends, all my writing friends, were there and they rushed the stage afterwards and they were just, you know, very encouraging and supportive. It was so sweet. You are a hit. It was a sweet, and a year ago I was sitting on the front row going chat, chat, my teeth chattering, and, and my attitude was completely different at that point, and I will admit that my attitude was Lord, why me, why are you asking me to do this? I don't know what my next step is. And so there was some, um, a little fear there, and I hate to even admit that, but the confidence level after it was done was completely different this year versus next year. I'm a completely different person. Come on now.

Speaker 1: 31:41

Yeah, reach that, yeah, um, I just love that. Um, okay. So when I started to plan well, when I it was a vision that I got for this worthy woman summit there were a group of five that came up and you were on it. And so Carrie is going to be speaking. She's a leader in the Worthy Woman Summit. She's helping me from this grassroots effort to help get people to share, to encourage. Ladies Ladies, let us just tell you, we want you to come join us at the Worthy Woman Summit. Let us just tell you, we want you to come join us at the Worthy Woman Summit. You'll get to hear this remarkable woman speak and hear all the wisdom and the insight that she has. And so, carrie, why do you think it's important? I know that you've gone to conferences and you've come out changed on the other side. Why is this? Why are we so passionate about getting get in the room? Why is it so important to get in the right rooms?

Speaker 2: 32:39

Because when you get out, you'll be a better person and you'll take copious notes. You'll meet wonderful people. You'll network with other people, you'll make new friends. We're just made for connection. We're made for fellowship. We're just made to be in a room with other women. That's right, because you don't know what you have in common with somebody until you meet them. That's right. And I have had so many divine appointments at these conferences of people I didn't know. I needed to know and I needed to know them. That's right.

Speaker 1: 33:11

Yeah, that's right, that's right. It's so important. You get yourself in the room, I get myself in the room. I just got back from a big event with my mastermind, and going to events literally changed my life and I was so scared. The first time I went to one by myself. I didn't know a soul, but there was something in me that just knew I was supposed to go. It was actually in Charlotte. No, oh no, that was. I've been to two in Charlotte, absolutely by myself. I didn't know a soul, like I got on a plane and just went and it was scary.

Speaker 1: 33:49

I was scared to go by myself. Perfectly normal. So I just want to encourage you if you're looking to up-level your faith and to up-level your life, to unleash your potential. The Worthy Woman Summit is March 27th. We've got a fun kickoff party and then it is a high energy, very. It's so dynamic, so energetic, the things that we have planned for two full days, march 28th and 29th. Tickets are still available and we would love to have you come and join us, bring a friend. I got a text today that said is that a four pack friend still available? Yes, it is, it sure is. Grab your friends and come join us. All right, carrie, thank you for being here again. I appreciate you so much and I'm just. I'm like I'm your biggest cheerleader.

I just I'm so excited.

Speaker 1: 34:40

I feel like I've got like popcorn with a whole bunch of butter and I like M&Ms and my popcorn to melt just a little bit. But I feel like I'm I'm eating popcorn and my M&Ms'm like, okay, god, just use or go, it's going to be amazing.

Speaker 2: 34:57

I know it has been a sweet partnership. Thank you, amy. I have enjoyed being here and being part of your life for the last eight or nine months. It's been fun. I can't believe it's only been eight or nine months, it's amazing what God does in his capacity.

Speaker 1: 35:09

Yes, you know, when we look at that and like abundance versus scarcity and and time, it's like God multiplies time. Yes, we think there were. We're too old, it's too late, there's not enough time, I can't know. Go chase your dreams, go do the thing that God's called you to do. Yeah, yeah, all right, friend, thanks for being here. All right, if you are interested in the Worthy Woman Summit, you can check the show notes and, as always, I want to say thank you for being here on the podcast. I think this is episode number 117. Yes, this is the faith-fueled woman's secret weapon, which is community. We need each other. All right, y'all Bye.
