0:47

friends, and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie

0:50

Ivey podcast. I'm your host Jamie, and I'm

0:52

so glad you're here. Each week on this show,

0:54

I invite a friend to join me and we

0:56

chat about the big things in life, the

0:58

little things in life, and everything in between. Hey

1:11

friends, and welcome to Wednesday,

1:14

May 8th. What

1:16

a great week. I just want to say you

1:18

just have me today on the podcast. I'm all by myself.

1:21

And I think I should start with a

1:24

little bit of gratitude for the love that

1:26

you guys sent to me after my

1:28

episode aired on Friday. I

1:31

was just a mess about

1:34

that episode. I was so nervous. I

1:36

was so anxious. I was all the

1:38

things. And

1:41

everything has been, you guys have been so kind

1:43

to me. You've been so kind to me. And

1:45

the messages I've received from so many

1:47

of you about thank you for even saying things

1:49

that I felt that no one knows about. And

1:52

thank you for your boundaries. And it's

1:55

just been really, really great. I just want to say thank

1:57

you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I want to

1:59

say that this is a great episode. This is kind of

2:01

a big day here on May 8. We're kind of in

2:03

the middle of a lot of stuff going on. So Monday

2:05

was my birthday. I turned 46. So

2:08

grateful to have another year of life.

2:10

Over the weekend, we had lacrosse

2:12

games and we won. And my

2:14

son's team is going to the

2:16

state championship next weekend. So we're

2:18

going to Houston. Playing lacrosse

2:21

has been a joy for me.

2:24

I'm always to watch my kids do whatever they're

2:26

doing. But lacrosse was just a gift to me

2:28

in this last season, the lacrosse

2:30

game for such a gift. And so it's

2:32

been a really, really great weekend. So Monday was my birthday. Today's

2:34

Wednesday the 8th. And tomorrow, Thursday,

2:37

May 9th, is the

2:39

birthday of the happy hour. Yes, you

2:41

heard that. 10 years since

2:44

I pushed record on this very first episode.

2:46

That's tomorrow, the birthday. So we're kind of

2:48

going to celebrate that all month long. I'm

2:50

super excited. Today, I want to talk

2:52

to you about my book, Why Can't I Get It Together? And I just

2:55

wanted to come on here, just me today,

2:57

and talk about it because I am going to

2:59

go through this book in a book club. And

3:02

I would really love it if you joined me for a couple

3:04

of reasons. I'm going to put a lot of effort into this

3:06

book. I love it so much. But

3:08

also, I'm looking at this

3:10

book through a different lens. And

3:13

I've been reading it the last couple of weeks,

3:15

getting ready for May for us to do the

3:17

book club. And everything

3:19

is still true. Like everything in there I wrote

3:22

is still true. And everything in there is still

3:24

what I would say. I

3:26

have different life experiences now. And so I'm

3:28

seeing it through harder life experience than I

3:30

had ever had before. But

3:32

I'm still seeing it through the same lenses. The

3:36

lenses of hope, the lens of the gospel,

3:38

the lens of the truth that God is

3:40

actually for his kids. The

3:43

whole book is about, you know, it's called

3:45

Why Can't I Get It Together? And it's

3:47

about really examining the realities of our life.

3:50

Because if you don't see your life through

3:52

the correct lens, like what is your actual

3:54

reality? What is the correct lens? How

3:56

do we ponder that? Then you can feel like

3:58

you can't get it together. Literally, I

4:00

was on a walk sometime in the last couple months. And

4:03

I think I said out loud to myself, Jamie, get yourself

4:05

together. And then I

4:07

had to remind myself that my current reality is

4:10

really hard. My current reality is

4:12

not the same as my current reality was

4:16

two months ago, three months ago, four months

4:18

ago. Heck, honestly, my current reality isn't the

4:20

same as it was two weeks ago. And

4:23

so when you don't acknowledge what

4:25

your current reality is, it is

4:27

hard often to feel like you can get yourself together.

4:30

And why can't I get it together? Yes, I do

4:33

believe that we can look at our lives and say

4:35

even everything that's going on, I know I have purpose.

4:37

I know that I can have passion. I know that

4:39

I can have a plan. When we look at these

4:41

different areas of our lives, I

4:43

also want to be real honest

4:45

with you and transparent that there's

4:47

sometimes that we can't, we feel like we

4:50

can't get it together because we just have

4:52

a different expectation of what getting it together

4:54

actually looks like. And I've experienced

4:56

that a lot in this last season. I've had to

4:58

give myself a lot of grace. I've had to give

5:00

myself a lot of pep talks of,

5:03

Jamie, you are not going to feel

5:05

the same about your life right now as you did

5:07

three months ago because your life has changed a lot.

5:10

And so I would love to read this book with

5:12

you. It came out in February. You can get it

5:14

anywhere you get books and

5:16

then come join our book club. So book club

5:19

for Jamie Ivy has been going on for a while,

5:21

but we're going to do it. Anyone that joins right

5:23

now, it'll be free to go through my book. Why

5:25

can't I get together? I don't want that to stop

5:27

you. And then obviously I hope you stick around because

5:29

book clubs are awesome and you should join my book

5:32

club. So if you go

5:34

6:13

I remember in the commerce his my hand

6:15

with Tony when I talked about life kind

6:18

of Celtic a rollercoaster and I was like

6:20

oh I wrote about this and in fact

6:22

I have had entire chapter of the book

6:24

called Adjusted Separate Thirteen It's all about the

6:26

rollercoaster. I'm going to read a little bit

6:28

for you. I. Wrote

6:30

this, I'm confident you already know this, and

6:32

that is because you're breathing, you're living. And

6:35

anyone who has lived for more than a

6:37

decade is fully aware of life's complexities. Pondering.

6:40

Your current reality will look different

6:42

throughout your lifetime. As your life

6:44

stage, family, career, location, body and

6:47

responsibility change So will your reality.

6:49

And. As your reality changes, you may find

6:51

yourself feeling like you're back at square one

6:54

of getting it together when you thought you

6:56

had already made so much progress. You guys,

6:58

I'm a stepper here. I. Have felt

7:00

that over these last three months I have felt

7:02

like wow, I just took a hundred steps backwards.

7:04

I can listen to say this in the but

7:07

there's so many things in our lives that we

7:09

have zero control over. Will you get a job

7:11

you just interviewed for? Who knows. I'm sure you're

7:13

super qualified and showed a very prepared for the

7:15

interview but in the end you don't have control

7:17

over the outcome. Will. Your friend respond

7:19

well and reciprocate your kindness. Who knows? you

7:21

can be kind and inclusive that you don't

7:24

have control over how others will react. Will.

7:26

Your marriage be without major conflict this year.

7:29

You can work hard on yourself, your relationship

7:31

and your communication, and you conserve your spouse

7:33

well that you don't know what difficulty the

7:35

two of you might have to face together.

7:38

We. Experience moments that trigger most as you

7:40

thought you had dealt with. For sure, you

7:43

don't work on those emotions, bring got into

7:45

the journey and develop monsters and prayers to

7:47

defeat them. and yet you don't have full

7:49

control over when those memories will arise. Will.

7:52

Your baby born healthy, with no deformities

7:54

or health issues. You. Can take care

7:57

of your body and baby during pregnancy and

7:59

you will still had zero control over this.

8:01

We. Want to have control? We.

8:04

Want to know what's coming? but we can't

8:06

We can't control the direction or the speed

8:08

of the rollercoaster, but we can control where

8:10

eyes are fix as we ride. we can

8:13

fix our eyes on our good father who

8:15

goes the for us and we don't need

8:17

to fear. We. Can fix our

8:19

eyes on the God who leads us into

8:21

righteousness and restores our souls. We can fix

8:23

our eyes on his treats. Follow. His

8:25

word listened to the spirit and

8:28

grab his hand and keep walking

8:30

together. You. Gotta love that part

8:32

from the book because I feel like I'm living

8:34

that right now and this rollercoaster. And

8:36

what's true is that life is hard but

8:39

yet we do have some tools at our

8:41

disposal. We really do have some things that

8:43

can help us and so I would love

Okay, Guys, I promise you on the show

12:15

with Tony that I would succeed out some

12:17

books that I have been reading this year.

12:20

so I love to read books. You guys

12:22

know this because I talk about books that

12:24

I'd love to read. I read books of

12:26

people that I'm interviewing. And

12:28

I love sharing them with you! So

12:30

I've read. Quite. A few books

12:32

the spurs year and I haven't really told

12:34

you about any of them, but. If

12:37

you don't mind I'm gonna tell ya son. So

12:39

all these books are going to be in the

12:41

shown as if your gym habitat com We can

12:43

find the podcast page all the links are there

12:45

and tissue my something so. I'm going to.

12:48

Read. The Books and then tell you a little

12:50

bit about them. Okay, the very first book I

12:52

read this year was called the Younger Next Year

12:54

for Women by Chris Crowley and this is actually

12:56

the book that really made me stop and think

12:58

about Signature My Body. I'm forty six Now it's

13:00

and Forty Six on Monday. And this

13:02

book actually made me think about. What?

13:05

Do I want to be? And. Eighty years. There.

13:08

Were some parts of this book that I kind of that sort of

13:10

years ago? Okay, whatever. But it was really good

13:12

for me specifically with strength training. And I'll

13:14

tell you I don't think I told this an

13:16

app said twenty was on his. I'll tell

13:18

you now is I made a decision Will

13:20

Now I'm thinking I'm it's hold it there. But

13:23

anyhow if I told that you'll hear twice.

13:25

if not you ago. I made a

13:27

decision after reading this book younger next year

13:29

at the beginning of January that I wanted

13:31

to get stronger. Hey, you know I love

13:33

to walk. In fact, I'm gonna walk a

13:35

full marathon in December. I'm the talks about

13:38

that. The Minutes: I love walking in my

13:40

neighborhood. It is. Not. Just for

13:42

physical activity. Although it is, it's mental emotional, it's

13:44

is being outside. I love it so much so

13:46

I do a lot of walking but when I

13:48

don't use any strength training and so I read

13:50

this book and I really just dedicated this year

13:52

than I was gonna get stronger and I have

13:54

been ago to the jan I lift weights I

13:56

feel so good. My. Friend

13:59

Elisa Keaton Awesome! Video Sometimes that means

14:01

doing weights as it's been really great

14:03

and during the season when Aaron was

14:05

gone I remember I was on a

14:07

walk and I was just praying and.

14:11

Every once in while like Santa, make myself

14:13

go on a walk without any headphones And

14:15

that's actually hard for me because I'd love

14:17

to listen to books when I walk. but

14:19

I was out. there was nothing which forces

14:21

me to kind of be with my thoughts

14:23

and time praying. And I remember it's as

14:25

if I heard I was thinking about strength

14:27

training are think about be in the weight

14:29

room. I was thinking about getting stronger this

14:31

year and twenty twenty four and it's as

14:33

if I heard I did not hear God's

14:35

voice dislike I heard him impress on my

14:37

soul. Use Thought Jamie that you were going

14:39

to get stronger in the weight room. But.

14:41

I'm actually making you stronger

14:44

through your life circumstances and

14:46

I'll never forget that because.

14:49

That is what's happening is God

14:51

is making me a stronger woman

14:53

and. I. Thought I was gonna get

14:55

stronger in the weight room which I am

14:58

as well, but that was really really sweet

15:00

for me. So then I read after that

15:02

I finish on Mark Homers but practice in

15:04

the way. Highly recommend. Highly highly highly recommend

15:06

this. But then I read Twenty Seven Summers

15:09

by Ronald Olivier and he's actually was a

15:11

guest on the podcast. you might have heard

15:13

him earlier in the year he spent twenty

15:15

seven years incarcerated am in this of really

15:17

good but and then are book club read

15:20

for it. January was called the other year

15:22

fiery Afraid of fiction book and it sounds

15:24

very. Morbid. but exit really enjoyed it.

15:26

It is a mother and she's at

15:28

the beach with her daughter and. The.

15:30

Book takes on to Narratives Wine where

15:33

her daughter is out swimming in the

15:35

ocean and she accidentally grounds and then

15:37

the other one is where her daughter

15:39

doesn't and it's least two roads that

15:41

she walks and I found I really

15:43

really liked him. After

15:45

that I was into the Night is Normal by

15:47

Lisa Brit totally. I love a brisk. I.

15:50

Love Elisa. She's been on a podcast

15:53

many times is called the Night is

15:55

Normal a guide to spiritual pain. And

15:57

there's this concept. I the idea that.

16:00

Fear the night and we fear that pain that we

16:02

might walk through Annalisa same hey, it's normal and we

16:04

actually can learn from it. And man I might even

16:06

when I go back and read that on the other

16:08

side of what are they walk through now. Then.

16:11

I read the kingdom, the power and the glory. American.

16:16

Evangelicals in an age of extremism.

16:18

By ten Alberta it's a big

16:20

read. It it's a very. Interesting

16:22

book Variance a book. I really liked him.

16:25

And then these are the books I read when and

16:27

was gone. I started with the Screwtape Letters by Cs.

16:29

Lewis. I'd never read that book before. I listened to

16:32

the book what Happened To You by Bruce Perry and

16:34

Oprah Winfrey. I had listened to it before and I

16:36

highly recommend you listen to it. Such a great

16:38

but. I read Mending

16:40

a Shattered Heart by Stephanie Carnes.

16:42

I read Dominion How the Christian

16:45

Revolution remade the World by Tom

16:47

Holland Actually, It's. He's a historian.

16:49

A very big, very good. Lots of great stuff

16:51

in here. If you love history, you're gonna love

16:53

The Spot. I read about it keeps a score

16:56

by vessels and a Coke. I've been wanting to

16:58

read a book for years and years and years.

17:00

and I finally did it. I read the Rag

17:02

a muffin gospel by Burning Manning in. This is

17:05

my first Brennan Many book is the first time

17:07

I read The Spot and it was so good.

17:09

I underline so much stuff in this book. Highly

17:11

recommend that. but it's a book that I could

17:14

see myself reading every year. I. Read:

17:16

intimate deception healing the wounds of sexual

17:18

betrayal by Sherry Capper. I read your

17:20

sexually addicted spouse how partners can cope.

17:23

And. Your by Barbara Stephens I

17:25

read Moving Beyond Betrayal. Defy.

17:28

The step boundary solution for partners

17:30

have sex Addicts by Vicky Tidwell

17:32

Palmer. I enjoyed all three of

17:34

those books. They had a lot of helpful

17:37

information for me of where I am on

17:39

this journey. Not all that was helpful for

17:41

me, but I can take what I can

17:43

learn from it and use it. I did

17:45

not read I'm Good Boundaries goodbye of our

17:47

to read that by Lisa Tucker's but if

17:49

you're looking for boundary book that's really really

17:51

good. I've actually never read the book Boundaries

17:53

by Doctor Henry Cloud and Doctor John Towns

17:55

and it's all my less. I have a

17:57

d I want to read it but it's

17:59

so. Good, but that moving beyond betrayal.

18:01

The five seventy solution was really good as

18:04

well. And then we read. Tell

18:06

me more stories about the twelve hardest things

18:08

are Morning By Kelly Core Again, that was

18:10

our book club read and I loved that

18:12

so much. Then. I read if I don't

18:15

laugh or cry. By. Molly Stillman and Molly's

18:17

Come On the So Soon impacts the interviewed

18:19

here in person and are book is so

18:21

good. And then the last two books that

18:23

I have read where it wasn't roaring, it

18:25

was Weeping by Lisa Joy Acre and She's

18:27

also coming on the So Soon and that

18:30

book will be one of the best books

18:32

I've read all year. And then I read

18:34

Where the Light Fell by Philip Yancey He

18:36

love that was crazy. I've never read anything

18:38

by Philippine Sea before. I have two books

18:40

of his that I'm dying to open. I'm

18:42

never whenever I have an accent, but I

18:45

really enjoyed his memoir. And then the

18:47

last book that I have finished so

18:49

far was on Getting Out Of Bed

18:51

The Burden and Gift of Living by

18:53

Alan Noble And if you know any

18:55

wine he is experience seen, depression and

18:58

suicide Id a sin. This is a

19:00

teeny tiny bought and it was. I

19:02

really really really enjoyed it and thought

19:04

it was super helpful. Right now I'm

19:06

currently reading the Covenant of Water which.

19:09

Is a million and one hundred thousand

19:11

pages of. It's so. And I'm also

19:13

reading as long as the lemon trees

19:15

grow and I wanted to tell ya

19:17

those books and I know that was

19:19

a lot. But. I

19:21

wanted to tell you that when Aaron was gone. A

19:24

I read a lot a great bucks last couple weeks.

19:26

just like. Molly's. Book and Kelly

19:28

Gorgons bug and we still Baker's Bug

19:30

and Philippines His books. Those memoir type

19:33

books are handsome. My favorite other books

19:35

to read ever Am. But.

19:38

I also read some hard books on boundaries

19:40

and addicts sand and co dependency. And if

19:42

you find yourself in a situation where you

19:45

can relate to what I'm going through, I

19:47

would recommend all of those books I read

19:49

and if you've recommendations for me, I'll take

19:52

them as well. Have more books on

19:54

myself that I'm that I'm dying to get

19:56

to. One. Of

19:58

the things that I mention a lot. Friday's show

20:00

is how helpful the stories that have heard

20:02

on the happy are have been for me

20:04

on this journey than I'm on right now

20:06

and I think even when I was reading

20:09

the books and hours reading it was really

20:11

helpful for me to feel less alone in

20:13

my journey and. I've had

20:15

a handful of people reach out to me

20:17

that I personally know and just say you're

20:19

walking a road, have already walked and I

20:21

just didn't know it and what? What? I'm

20:23

learning a lot. Right now is

20:25

how mean a couple things. And

20:29

I always said this and I feel even more

20:31

now is that this No one gets through life

20:33

without. Getting. Hurt and having

20:35

wounds and scars and gosh, I

20:37

wish it was different. I really

20:39

do wish that it was different

20:41

and yet I cannot find a

20:43

way around it been any different.

20:46

I have a friend her name

20:48

is Nancy and she text me

20:50

scripture almost every day and. It's.

20:53

Sense of a lifeline for me and last

20:55

week. In fact, last Friday she texted me

20:57

it's share my twenty eleven to thirteen it's

20:59

on the message translation I'm gonna read to

21:01

Vs Exit she's Texan me recently. Different.

21:04

Says I'll show up and take care of you

21:06

as I promised and bring you back home. I

21:08

know what I'm doing. Have it all planned out.

21:10

Plans to take care of you, not abandon you

21:13

planes to give you the future you hope for

21:15

When you call on me, when you come and

21:17

pray to me I'll listen. When you com looking

21:19

for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get

21:21

serious about finding me and when it more than

21:23

anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed.

21:26

God Shukri, I'll turn things around for. You.

21:29

And. Then the message that she actually set

21:31

me today when I'm recording this on Sunday.

21:33

As as this and this is limitations Three,

21:35

twenty eight to thirty three in the message

21:38

Translation is as when life is heavy and

21:40

hard to take. Go off by yourself, into

21:42

the silence, bow and prayer. Don't ask questions,

21:44

wait for hope to appear. Don't. Run

21:47

from trouble. Take it for face. The

21:49

worst is never the worst. Why? Because

21:51

the master won't ever walk out and

21:54

fail to return. If he works severely,

21:56

he'll also work tenderly. Is stockpiles of

21:58

loyal love are immense. You take no

22:01

pleasure in making my heart and throw

22:03

in roadblocks and the way. Oh,

22:06

I love that last part. He takes no

22:08

pleasure in making my parts in thoroughly roadblocks

22:10

and the way that's limitations. Three, Twenty eight

22:12

to Thirty three. So helpful as she is

22:14

that me scripts are almost every single day

22:16

is less so kind of. Now.

line on twenty six miles. At

26:49

the end of Twenty Twenty Four. It's

26:51

been a mean a little bit more

26:53

to me than I ever imagined it

26:55

would. I could have never imagined my

26:57

year. Looking. As it looks,

27:00

And. For me to train for

27:03

something. And. Then finish it.

27:05

This year is going to be a

27:07

major accomplishment for me. And

27:09

it was gonna be a major accomplishment.

no matter what. It just feels a

little different now and so. If

27:16

you deny here of the original

27:18

episode with my friend Elisa Keaton.

27:58

do a half marathon were for marathon. I'm

28:01

going to try to do this. I'll be

28:03

honest with you, I'm deathly one hundred percent.

28:05

During the fall and Hawaii in December, I've

28:07

already registered for it, and I'm considering doing

28:09

the half. In. October in

28:12

28:14

for me. I have not dedicated myself

28:16

the hardest year of my life will

29:22

go down as the best thing. Of

29:25

this year. I'm just saying in. One.

29:27

Of the things that my cancer said to

29:29

me. Recently we were

29:31

have been one of our professors many times

29:33

and and Kurt was lady net and he

29:36

talks about weightlifting and I've already talked about

29:38

weightlifting. I went to be stronger and he

29:40

said when you lift those weights and you

29:42

get more and more every time you are

29:44

telling your brain and your body that you

29:46

can do hard things. And.

29:49

I'm just here to tell you guys that

29:51

I am in the Mets. Ominous.

29:54

Isn't else. And. There's. A

29:56

mouse in my studio? Oh my Word

29:59

30:01

can't I can't I can't. Oh

30:32

that moving your body will have your problems.

30:34

30:36

I'm not a doctor. I'm not a trainer.

30:38

30:42

our bodies. It changes

30:44

something and ass and and I believe that because
