Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life,

the little things in life and the little things in life, and everything in between. Hey friends this is Jason Tally the audio engineer for the happy hour.

Jamie recently released a statement on Instagram that she is stepping away from

podcasting for a while. As a team we have decided to air the six conversations

that were already recorded. We decide to do this for a couple of reasons. First we

want to honor the guests, we want to honor the projects that they have worked

on and we also really want to honor the stories that they're sharing.

If this is your first time to listen to the happy hour or you've been with Jamie since the beginning,

thank you. You're the reason this community really is so great. We want you to keep having your own happy hour with your friends,

reading new and exciting books and finding new things that you're loving all the time.

And on behalf of Jamie and the whole team, we love you.

Molly, welcome to the happy hour.

I am so excited to be here.

This is the greatest day ever.

I am so excited to have you here for a couple reasons.

Are you ready to hear them?

Okay.

Number one, you came all the way to Austin, Texas.

Yes, we're in person.

This is so fun.
