Amy chats with parenting writer and The Mom Hour podcaster Meagan Francis about her new book, The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read: How We Let Our Kids Go and Embrace What's Next. Together, they reflect on the identity shift that comes with parenting an emptying nest, the emotional complexity of "lasts," and why transitioning out of the "hands-on" years of parenting requires the same patience with ourselves that entering those years did. Listen to the Substack Live Amy and Meagan did recently to discuss Amy's book HAPPY TO HELP!

Clip of the Week-"Have you Ever Read About Elijah?" Brother Harry Collins, Sr. Even though Bro. Harry Collins, Sr. preached with great effect throughout his life, only a few of this brother's sermons were recorded and preserved for our benefit. Please take advantage of this opportunity to hear this voice of the past (1952) from a man that was widely respected in his generation as a preacher and a man of God. In “Have you ever read about Elijah?” he preaches that it is absolutely necessary that we be holy sanctified and that this be a holy church without spot and without wrinkle. He concludes with Balaam's blessing from Numbers 24. The full meeting includes testimonies from Bro. Levy Hagan, Bro. Shuford Price, and Bro. Billy Gray. Brother David Cosby

George Orwell writes, “If you look up ‘tea' in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points. This is curious, not only because tea is one of the mainstays of civilization … but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes.” In this episode I got to sit down with Meagan Francis, a supporter and friend of Ancestral Kitchen and veteran podcaster herself. She is the host of The Kettle with Meagan Francis, which is a lovely podcast, and author of “The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read” which just came out this spring. Meagan also owns a tea and variety shop and in this episode she shared with me some surprising and interesting tidbits on the history of tea and how it was introduced to Western civilization, some of the finer points of sourcing and brewing, where some of our familiar tea traditions came from and what High Tea really means.We had so much to talk about that we overflowed into an Aftershow which will be available on Kitchen Table Chats, our private podcast of bonus episodes for podcast supporters. As a thank you to our podcast supporters for keeping us on the air, Alison also created a new recipe for Spelt Buttermilk and Honey Scones, which is available where supporters can log in to the podcast downloads section of our website. Sorry Orwell, no violent disputes broke out today, but I learned a lot.

What if the problem isn't how long it's taking—but the fact that you're doing it in isolation?   In this episode, we're unpacking the real reason so many talented, hardworking copywriters feel stuck in the in-between: not because they're off track, but because they're building without proximity, support, or reflection. If you've been quietly wondering why it all still feels so heavy—this conversation is the recalibration you didn't know you needed.   Because you're not behind.

I've never done an episode talking about books that I really like and that have really influenced me and my career as an entrepreneur. Our own experiences are probably where we learn most, but for me my second source of greatest education and influence has come from reading books! I'd love to share with you some of the best ones I've read. Let's get into it!

Sometimes, the conversations that change us aren't business masterminds or strategy calls—they're quiet, unexpected lunches with women who've lived full, brave lives. In this episode, I share the story of one of those moments and the realization it sparked: growth doesn't just come from effort—it comes from environment.   If you've been feeling like growth is taking longer than it should, this episode is your reminder that you're not behind—you might just be building in isolation.   Tune in To Learn: The hidden cost of building alone (and how to shift it) How personal environments shape professional momentum The difference between any community and the right community How to reflect on the rooms you're in—and whether they're serving your growth What's coming soon inside Juno, and why it might be your next step   **********   Get on the Waitlist for Juno, our new female & non-binary copywriter-only community coming soon: https://Krystlechurch.com/Junowaitilst     Resources & Follow: ***Get the FREE Private Podcast → The Copywriter's Guide: How to Make $20k Months from your Course, Templates or Program: https://krystlechurch.com/privatepodcast  → The KC Website: https://krystlechurch.com/  → Freedom Found Collective Mastermind: https://krystlechurch.com/freedom-found-collective  → Get *Probably* The Best Copywriting Newsletter You'll Ever Read: https://krystlechurch.com/copy-classroom  → Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/krystle.church
