Hey, coaches. Today we are talking about what it takes

to build a business. We are talking about

leading your business with a passion for

serving people well, and we are talking

about overcoming all of the obstacles along the way. This

episode is really fun for me because I'm interviewing Tammie

Williams. She is one of my up-and-coming master

coach training students, and I used to

work for Tammie. So back in the day, actually

when my boys were little, when I didn't even have my daughter

yet, I worked for one of her schools

here locally where I live. So you're going to hear more about

Tammie's experience and all that she brings to the table.

I love the way that Tammie has really led

building her prior businesses, and also

her current business as a coach, with wanting to really

do a phenomenal job serving her clients. And so

this always stood out to me about Tammie when we first met

and it's been really fun as she and I have worked together in this new

capacity as she is building her coaching

business.By the way, you're going to hear some great nuggets from her because she

specializes in helping parents of

preschool age kids. So you're going to love this interview. It was so

much fun for me to have this conversation with Tammie. All right,

before we get into that, this is so exciting.

I am offering four advanced coaching

skill classes in a row. The cost for this four part

workshop is only $197. I have

never offered advanced skills classes at a cost this

ridiculously low. I wanted to do this to give all of you a

little bit of a taste for these four components of effective

coaching that I'm always talking about. So if you're

cognitive work, emotion focused, modalities nervous

system awareness, and also talking about how to take

effective, action focused strategies.

All right, coaches, here we go. Let's dive on into this

phenomenal interview. All right, coaches. So I'm so

excited to have Tammie here on the podcast. Hello,

Tammie. Thanks, Molly. I'm excited to be here as

well. This is so fun because what I think

is always interesting about a coach's

journey, and I know a lot of my audience can relate to this, is

we have all of these different, seemingly unrelated

experiences in our life, and then somehow some of these

little pieces come together because you and I worked together in a

totally different way years ago. And now here we are on a

podcast with you and your new business. And it's so great.

It's part of the journey. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so

tell my audience, who is your niche in your

business? Well, I am an early childhood parenting

coach, so what that means is I specialize in coaching

parents of two through six year olds. That is my

specialty because I have worked in the early childhood field for over 40

years, and I've worked with so many parents that I felt a

need to help parents and coach parents in this

particular age group. What I love about

this is so many things. I think it- first of

all, it's such a natural direction for you to go in your coaching business,

right, because of your experience and

also just because of your heart for it. Because, you know,

back when I was working as a teacher at your school, what I

really loved about that experience is that

there was such a focus on continuing our

education as teachers and really taking seriously how we

could help to, you know, cultivate brain

development - right - and growth for these kids. Like, you know, we

can think, 'oh, they're preschoolers. It's not a big deal.' But it's actually

a big deal. Right. Those early childhood years

are huge. So I love that you have such a passion for it. And where

do you think that came from, by the way? I think part of it

is I just love to learn myself. And so my thirst for

knowledge. And then, of course, working in this field,

I wanted to tie learning, from a teaching

standpoint, to teaching little children to learn. I think,

also, too, I just have a natural gift, really, with

young children. I started working in preschools when I was 16 years

old, and I just, is just what it comes

naturally to me. I would rather work with children than just about

anything. I think they're so much fun to work with, and I think the preschool

years are just magical years. They make me laugh every day. I just

crack up. I just love working with young children. Right. You just, you never

know all the stories you hear, too.

Oh, so fun. So fun. And so I just

think that there's such great years, and I also know from experience and being in

the field so long that what happens in their

preschool years sets that foundation for

the rest of their lives. And people, I don't think, understand

that as well. But I've seen it with my own eyes. I've had

a front row to decades

of how these children turned out and what parenting

styles the parents had. And then I have had the

opportunity to see a lot of these children later. You know, they've come back to

visit or I've run into them in different capacities, and

I've been able to watch this, and I just kind of want to share that

with other people and, you know, help them understand how

important these years are. They really are life

altering years in the direction you go with them. I mean,

obviously. I mean, that's true. Right. And I agree. And I'll add to that,

that as I think back, I feel really grateful for the

experiences I had with my kids when they were younger

and being able to facilitate so many

experiences for them as their brain was developing. Because we

both know- right- we all know when you have older kids, you just

don't have as much influence and many things as your kids become

teenagers are very much outside of your control. Right. And

for me, just knowing that, I would always kind of anchor myself

in I had these connections. We had this, you know,

relationship then, and I created these experiences. So we just

roll the dice and hope for the best. That's right.

That is right. They're still taking your guidance

and they're still listening to you when they're young, so you

want to influence them as much as you can during that time

and hope a lot of that will stick as they move on to

other things being more important. Yes. Yes.

Absolutely. Okay. So I wanted to ask

you. Oh, oh, this. I know what I was going to say. I was

also thinking how I have often felt

that the work that I was doing with preschoolers

is very similar to the work that I do now with adults. Right. Because

it's, it's brain development. Right. Development then and now we're

really working with adults to help them develop new patterns and habits

and create new neural pathways. So it's just. It's so similar. I think it's a

lot of fun. Yeah. I actually heard an example of this the other day that

I thought was really good. It's kind of like when you're building a brand new

house, and you decide where all the electrical outlets are going to be, and you're

thinking, 'okay, I need one over here, I need one over there'. And then the

house is finished. You move in, and you go, oh, my goodness, I wish I

had put one over here and there. You can still put one there, but now

you have to tear down part of the wall, and you have to run wires.

It's just harder, but it can still be done. And I think that's

a great comparison. When you're working with preschool age

children, the walls aren't up yet, so it's a lot easier to do

that wiring. You can still do it later. It just takes a little more work.

Yeah. And so I love that you're helping

parents to maybe take down the walls. Right. And do what

needs to be done so that they can really facilitate an easier

experience for their kids. Absolutely. Yeah. Building something.

Great. So tell me a little bit. Why do you think the work you're

doing with parents, what do you think is the

biggest value or benefits in really how that helps

them, them with their kids in the preschool years? I think

what's happened is because we have so much technology,

and the children and the parents are on their devices so much

more than they ever used to be, what we're finding out from brain

research is that children are

not creating as many social, emotional, neural pathways as they

used to because we're not having as many connections, and

that's not lighting up that area of the brain and creating those pathways. And

so a lot has changed, and children have changed. And what used to

work doesn't work anymore. And this is true in the teaching field as well as

the parenting field. And I have spent a lot of time,

and when I was in grad school, I spent a lot of research on this

because I wanted to find answers to help both my

teachers and then, of course, the parents. And so I think what

I really enjoy doing is helping parents

find quick, easy solutions. We're all busy, we're all tired. We're all

exhausted. And parents don't have time to read books like they used

to. I still love to read books, but they just want, you know, all

right, somebody read the book and then tell me the cliff notes or, you know,

give me a quick tip that will help or help me understand why they're doing

this. They're, you know, driving me crazy. And what I want to do is

just be that, you know, quick fix, let's do

this, try this, and give them the answers so that they can have success

quicker and move on rather than spend a lot of

time energy trying to figure it out. Yes. Okay. I want to

speak to this for a minute because this last week, actually,

in master coach training, we've been talking about the value of

quick wins with our clients. Yes. Because I think I know

many of the coaches listening, many of you out there, you do cognitive

work, you do emotion work, you do these deep

transformations with your clients, which is amazing.

And I think sometimes we believe that means some

practical, tangible quick wins aren't very useful, but that is not

true at all. And, in fact, I think when we can

understand those easy tangibles and those quick

wins and how they actually relate to the deeper work

and kind of how to ebb and flow with

different approaches, that's when we can be the most impactful.

I also think, Molly, it gives you kind of an endorphin rush when you

have a success. Yeah. And then you have

something to carry you through some of the harder work. Yes,

exactly. Right. Because it's like, I mean, I can't tell you

how many coaches I've worked with when they're first starting,

especially. And, you know, we, it's like we learn this

concept that, you know, just telling someone what to do

or they say, like coaching on the A line. Right. Just telling someone what to

do is not the way to do it. Make sure you're looking at the thoughts

and emotions. And I see the value in that because we don't want people to

think that we just always have to be fixing circumstances around us.

Right. We want to make space for the rest. And yet

it's like when we have, for all of us, when we

have success and wins, it teaches us

maybe success is possible. Maybe I can

do this. Right. So it's that rush and that excitement, and I think

it also builds evidence for those beliefs we want to

have. Yeah. All right, so here is a classic example that we use in

preschool. So when I was teaching children the belief

that they could read, even before they really could read, I would

have them bring in cutouts of foods or

items that they knew the logo for, like

Oreo cookies or their favorite cereal, and they would cut them out

and we would make a book and we paste each of those little logos on

a paper, and then I'd hold it up and I'll say, all right, let's read

your book. And of course, they knew what everything was because they knew

what that looked like. And they're like. I'm like, look at that you can

read. You would not believe how much mileage I would get out of that. They

would work so hard because they knew they could read now. And I think just

what you said, instilling that belief sometimes comes

before the actual reality. Yes.

Yes. Oh, my gosh, that's such a great example. And so I'm

curious to know, because obviously, you have

a lot of creativity in terms of how you've worked with your

preschoolers and helped your teachers in that way.

How does that creativity come into the work you're doing now as a coach

with parents? Well, a lot of it really is my

experience. It's my 40 years of experience of working with parents and

working with children that really helped me because I've worked

with so many different cultures and different family

dynamics and different everything that I have this huge

repertoire of experiences to pull from, and that really helps me

a lot as well. And then my own journey of building my own preschool

from scratch has given me the fortitude to know I can

do anything. I set my mind to it. So I've got my mindset, and

then I have this whole bag of tricks and experience to

help parents. And then I'm just

a reader and a researcher, and so I kind of bring

this whole different angles together.

And that is how I feel like I'm so

successful is because I've walked the walk, I've talked the talk,

I've raised children, I've worked with children, I've been a parent.

And that's so believable because I've been there. I get

it. You know, it's not like I'm trying to tell them something I've never done

before or never experienced before. I've experienced it in a lot of

different ways, and I think that's what

helps me to be really successful as far as creativity goes.

I've had a lot of practice at it because someone will bring a problem to

me, and I have to think about, okay, so what's going on in

the family? Why is this child doing that? And I just, you know, have to

really think it through, and then I kind of

just put it together like a package, like, oh, and it doesn't always

work. I'll try one thing, and maybe I'll try another thing, and then, you know,

the third thing will be it. So it's not for sure every

time, but I've got enough experience that I can usually find a path through

it at some point. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So

since you brought up kind of building your own business, I want to

speak to that a little bit. I want to ask you some questions about your

experience because I know that everyone listening, of

course, has different experiences and circumstances. And I

just am always excited to share a story of, right,

building from scratch, making it through those, those hard times.

So I want to, I want to speak to that. And then just so all

of you know, listening, I want to then circle back and speak

to how all of this has and is

translating into Tammie building her business. Because I know many of

you are at different places in your life and business. Some of you have had

extensive experience with something like Tammie and now you are bringing that to a

coaching business. And I know some of you have maybe not

had as many experiences in an area. And so you feel you're

building several things at once as you build your business. And so I

say that because, no matter where each of you are in this

path, there's going to be a lot of relevant things here that I'm going to

tie together. So. Okay, so Tammie, so you built

your, your preschool business from scratch. Just tell us a little

about your story. So I became a single mom when my children were three,

five and seven. And at the time I had a preschool in my

home. I started a preschool in my home two weeks after

my first child was born because I wanted to be home with my children, but

I needed to work and so I did all the advertising and everything ahead

of time, took two weeks off after the baby is born. And

then I just started up.At the time when I first started, I had about twelve

children in my home by myself. And I just loved it. I

was just in my element, you know, it was just great. But

as my children grew, I grew my business a little

bit and I changed it up a little bit to be more of a preschool,

like a church preschool. So children only came part time rather than

full time childcare. And when I became a single parent,

I wanted to go to college because that was one of the things I didn't

get an opportunity to do. And I love learning and I wanted to go to

college. So I started going to college while trying to

expand my business, while being a single mom and taking care of my

children. And it's one of those things that you just do because you just know

it's the right thing to do. I just, I don't know how else to explain

that. I just knew this is what I was supposed to do. I had a

talent for it and I wanted to help others. And so

it took me about eight years to get my first two year degree.

And then I just continued on, and

I would just take a class or two a semester and just keep on trucking.

And then when I graduated, I had two associates

of applied science degrees, one in early childhood education, one in

early childhood administration. So I got it in my mind that I

wanted to take my business outside of my home so I could grow, because you

can only watch so many children in your home legally. And

so I started looking for how to get

money, and I was still classified a low income single mom at this

time. And I just went from bank to bank, and nobody would give

me money. And they- some people were quite rude. And

I finally found this gentleman that

worked for a, it was called Texas Certified Development

Corporation. And what they do is they're loan packages for SBA loans,

and they help people like myself get a loan

to do great things. And so I brought my business plan. He

set it aside, and he goes, 'Tell me why you really think you can do

this'. Like, he didn't even look at my business plan. I worked really hard on

that. But he goes, 'Just tell

me why you think'. And I told him, I told my story, and he goes,

'I believe you'. I go, great. He goes, now I'll look at your business plan.

So anyway, so he helped me put together a package for

an SBA loan, and I was able to purchase

land, design a building, which I had in my head

going all along, and I had to go to an architect, and I said, this

is how it needs to be, and this is what it needs. He goes, I

just don't have people so, you know, straight

arrow on exactly what they want. I'm like, 'oh, yeah, I've been working in lots

of preschool. I've been collecting ideas.' And so I bought land, and

I built a school that- I have never built anything before. And I

just would learn one step, then go to the next step, then go the next

step. And it's funny, because when I got my loan package,

they said, 'well, take this to your lawyer. Have them look at it'. I didn't

have a lawyer, and I couldn't afford a lawyer. So I went to the library

for two days with a dictionary and looked up every word I didn't know and

read through the documents and then just signed it and said, here goes. I

mean, it was a leap of faith, but I just, I just knew in

my gut that it was going to work. And if I just worked hard enough,

it would work. I had weird things happen. Like my architect says, 'Well, I don't

think you know anything about building anything'. I'm like, 'Yeah, you're right'. He goes, 'I'll

just go ahead and be your project manager'. I said, okay, that's great.

Oh, I love it. And so one day I was up at the school because

my kids and I would go drive by it every once in a while while

it was being built. And I said, something's not right. And I didn't

know what it was, but, like, the wall didn't seem like it was in the

right spot. So I called up mu architect, and I said, something's not right. And

so he goes, well, meet me up there. So I went up there, and he

goes, you're right. How'd you know that? I don't know. Like, I just knew it.

Like, it's just weird things that just, you know, help me keep going.

So then I went to, like, garage sales and

all kinds of low income ways to get more equipment,

and my parents that were coming to my preschool in my home were all

very supportive. They helped me do some fundraising because I had to get

investors, and it was just quite- and I learned a lot. And I just learned

enough to get to the next step, then learn enough to get the next step.

And I built this beautiful new school from scratch, and we had a big

grand opening. We had all the kids come and

just do this big thing. It was just. It was just so much fun. And

I have to tell you one quick, funny story, though. Three days after we opened,

all the toilets stopped working. And so I had, I called my architecture.

I said, none of the toilets are working. And I was just so, you know,

nervous because we'd only been over three days, and I wanted to make a great

impression. And so he goes, well, I'm gonna have to have the

city come out and take a look. The city came out, and he goes, I

need to talk to the owner. And it was so funny, I forgot I was

the owner. I'm looking around, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's me. Because, you know,

he's like, this new thing, and he goes, we need to step into your

office. I'm like, oh, no. I'm in so much trouble. And so we stepped him

off. He goes, I got to shut you down. I'm like, you can't. I just

opened, you know, you can't do this. And I said, what's the problem? He

goes, well, they didn't hook up your sewer to the city

sewer. And so what had happened is the

people who had the property next to me that hadn't developed yet, it was their

job to put the sewer line up to my property

and they didn't put it in the right spot. So when my people

came in to put the sewage in, they were in a different spot than the

other ones. They didn't know to hook it up. So anyway, great

story. My architect called a company that comes and sucks out

sewer lines. They sucked out of the sewer lines and we got it fixed and

I didn't have to shut down. But anyway, wow. I mean there were just all

kinds of crazy stuff like that, things you would never think of or would ever

know. And I just kind of just kept dealing with them and you know,

handling as they went. And my kids and I were the cleaning crew and my

boys did the lawn care for me and it was just a family affair.

My eleven year old son, he was eleven or twelve, he put

together all the furniture we had to buy that had to be put together. And

I mean, it was great. We all learned a lot. So incredible.

Okay, I wanted, I want to dissect a few things from this

because as people are listening, I think

that it's easy to see. Well, first of all, I'll back up and say,

when I first connected with you and your school,

I was looking for a school for my son

and I also wanted to be home with my kids and

I wanted him to be in school and I really didn't have, we didn't have

the money to pay for him to go to preschool, right. And so that's why

I thought, well, I'll find a preschool where I can also work so I can

kind of work this out and be with the kids and be with him and

all of that. Right?So as I start looking,

your school was, I mean

it really was positioned as the premier

school, right. This was, was not

just oh, some little program you go to, but it's like if you

want the best education, something really

comprehensive, very elite, this is the school.

And I think it's so cool to think about hearing this story, right, where you

have twelve kids in your home and you had no education

when you started. And then it's just like step by step,

bit by bit and then having- and at the time when I looked not one,

but two schools. Well, in fact, your son and when

you worked was my second school because, by

demand, I ended up building another school in another city four years

after I opened that school and I didn't even want to, I'm like, one's

enough. Who needs two schools? Right? Right. I was peer pressured by

parents who were driving from the other city over to that school. It's,

it's such a great story. And I think, also worth

mentioning to all of you listening, because I know I can just

say for me, when I hear someone like you that has just this

incredible story of overcoming so much, and

it's easy to think, oh, well, I'm not someone like her.

She's obviously someone that's more determined or more

driven or has more grit. But I think in truth,

there is- I think that when we can

choose to be inspired by someone like you, those of you listening, thinking,

wow, if she can do it one step at a

time, if she can have a conviction about

something and make it happen, maybe I can,

too. Because that's what's true. Right? That's what's true about it. And, Molly, it goes

back to that belief thing. You have to believe it. You just have

to believe it. And then the reality will come. It's kind of like

if you build it, they will come. I actually use that quote in my head

a lot when I was going through this. If I build it, they will come.

And six weeks after I built that school, I was completely full. And I had

done a lot of marketing and advertising beforehand. In

fact, I was holding open houses at my home

preschool months before I opened the school

and enrolling people. But that's really what it is. It's about the

belief system. You have to believe it. I didn't know how

was going to happen. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but

I believed that I was going to do it. Yes.

And I want to highlight something else here. Here, which is

all those of you listening, that obviously

the reason why you did

marketing, you did the work. Right. And you obviously

had a superior skill set, a superior service where

people wanted what you had to offer.

Corect. I wanted to be the best. That was my desire. Yes.

Yes. And so, and I, this is a big message that I want all of

you coaches to get. You know, I preach this to my clients all day long.

This is a core part of master coach training. When we're talking about, like,

why are we building these skills? It's because I just am such

a firm believer that when you lead with superior service

and really you serve your clients at such a high

level, people cannot help but refer to you, your business will

grow and-. And it will feel different to people. That's right. That's exactly

right. It feels. It feels

different. Yeah. Yeah. And I went on to continue my

education. I now have six degrees, three

associate's degrees, a bachelor's degree and two master's degrees.

So I just continued on because I just love

learning. And I also, even though I had the experience, I wanted

to back it up with a formal education so that I

could be equally balanced in my formal education as I was in my

experience. Mmm. I love it. Love it. Okay. And I think any

industry you're in, you have to continue to learn because it changes.

Absolutely. I mean, and I think that just that commitment to

continuing your education and learning more is, I

think as coaches, at least, it's the way we kind of lead the

way for our clients. Right. Because as we're learning and evolving, we

kind of set an example of that and, and we're just able

to deliver what's new. Our brains are

changing, like you said, right? Our brains are

changing generation by generation, and every single

day. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so,

so as we start to wrap

up this interview a little bit, and then, of course, Tammie's going to share her

information and how you can find her, especially if you have

preschoolers or, you know, someone that does. Tammie is definitely the

one to go to, so she's going to share that here shortly. But I want

to speak really quickly to, you know, you and I have, have

come together because, of course, you reached out to me wanting guidance with

your business, and it's a very different experience

working with you at this stage

of your life and setting up this business, because

you've already built a lot of belief and experience.

So it's almost like, as we're working, I'm giving you

guidance on the foundations of this type of business. But all of

that work and belief and strength, it just kind of transfers

over in this beautiful way. Yes. And it's

interesting because, I mean, you know, obviously,

to have worked in this field for 40 years, I'm a little bit older, and

I am still a little bit stuck in the low technology

arena, and doing it this way requires so much more

technology. That's my first problem. Not that I can't learn it, I

can. It's

a new arena in the logistics of it. Not so much

my message, but in the way I'm delivering it. Because before, I just would have

parents come into my office and we just sit down and have a chat, and

now I'm setting it up for- and people

would come to me because there's a problem at the preschool. They're, you know, they

want to know how to potty train their two year old or whatever. But now

I'm doing in a completely different format. Even though I have the knowledge, information,

I don't know how to do that. It's just like building that building. I didn't

know how to do it. And so for me, I'm like, oh, but Molly

does. So I reached out to Molly, said, Molly, I'm

going to take all my information and experience from my preschool and now

I want to do it online as a coach, can you help me with that?

I know that I could spend a lot of time spinning my wheels

or I could go to somebody who already knows how to do the part

that I don't know how to do. And that has been fabulous. That

has saved me a lot of time and helped me out so much because

I don't know how to do it this way. That's

right. Yeah. I need a guide, I need a mentor, I need a

coach to help me get to be the

best at doing it this way.

Yes. Yeah. I mean, it's been really helpful. Well, I'm so

glad. And I think that it's, it's, it's true. It's like

you can either spend time or money to move something

forward. Right. And it's usually some combination of both. Right.

And, and I think that that's what's been so fun about working

with you. And it's, I enjoy working with people who are also in

a different stage where they're maybe building more of those

skills at the same time as their business, whereas you've kind of built some

of those skills already. But I just, I want to highlight this because for

those of you listening, and if you're a coach and you're thinking, well,

she has all of this experience and I have to have all of that before

I can succeed in my business or before I can start. It's not

true. Right? It's not true because no matter where you

are, you can always, always build those skills. And for,

for someone like you, Tammie, it's, it's like your business is going to come

together a little bit more quickly just because you've

had- Connections and resources and things like that.

But I really want to reiterate what you're

saying. I have done so many things that I had no idea

how to do. That's right. You just take one step, then you

go to the next step, then you go to the next step. It's a journey.

And along the journey, you're learning and you're growing and you're meeting interesting

people and it is a part of your life's journey.

Even if I didn't coach

parents or have very many

people to work with. The process of me becoming a

coach has been very valuable and it has been an

awesome experience and I've met so many great people.

And so I look at it like this is my life experience

and I don't know where it's going to take me, but I'm excited to see

where I go. Oh, my gosh. I don't have to have the answers

now. I just have to be willing to take the journey.

Yes. Yes, that's right. Oh, my gosh. Okay. This

has been such a great interview. Thank you so much for sharing your

experience with just all of this. And for

people who have preschoolers or know people that

do give us your pitch, tell us what, what they need

to know from you and where they can find you. First of all,

my website is

coachingbytammie.com and that's

T-a-m-m-i-e. The longest way you can spell

Tammie because I like to do everything hard. I don't know.

And we'll have all this in the show notes as well for all of you.

So. But really what my goal is, and this is

truly from my heart, is I love helping parents and making

parenting easier for them. I want to be able

to make it simple and easy. I have a special right now. I have a

parenting library that you can purchase for

$29.99 and get a year subscription. And it

has all these quick tips, seven minutes or less, of

things that, you know, like give me some quick tips on potty training

or how do I look for a good school? Or is my,

how do I get my child ready for kindergarten? Questions that people ask me all

the time. I put this library so people can just go

there and get the answers and have these quick tip

libraries. Or it might bring up something that you're like, I really need help with

this. And then I can do some one on one coaching and help you through

that. So. But my specialty is two through six

year olds. Those are what we consider the preschool age,

you know, span. I can help a little bit with somebody, a little

bit beyond that or a little bit ahead of that, but that's really my specialty.

But also, too, it's instilling confidence in parents and say, you've got this. You can

do this. Yeah. You know, you just need a little bit of

knowledge and you'll be fine. It

is really fun when you learn a few tricks, how easy it works, like, for

instance, making choices, like giving children choices. I'll be walking down the hallway

in the preschool and this child won't sit down where the teacher wants her to

sit. And I'll just, I'll be walking by and say, you can sit here, over

there and just keep on walking. And she'll like, think and make a choice and

sit there like. And the teacher's like, how do you do that? It's because,

you know, you just need a quick thought idea that a trick that

works. And it works almost every time. My

granddaughter was throwing cards all over the living room and the whole family was

sitting around. We're like, you know, you need to pick up your cards. And she

just looked at you, smiled with that cute little three year old smile, and I

said, hey, do you want to pick up the cards really fast or really slow?

And she goes, fast. I'm like, okay, go. And she forgot all about being defiant

and not wanting to pick up the cards. It's just that easy. And I

want to help all the parents have an easier time with parenting so they

can have more fun instead of stress. Oh, thank. And we all

need that, right? And it's parenting is. It's hard enough.

There are enough challenges. The more things that can become easy, the better.

Yes, yes. And your parenting library has stuff from you and also

some experts contributing to. Yes. Yes, Molly, they

do. Molly is going to be a contributor. So I have it in three

sections. There's the basics and then there's the core topics, which are

just things that people ask me all the time. And then I have a

guest section with guests from people who

specialize in other things that relate to parenting. And

I've got some really great guests coming on there. I don't want to mention them

yet because I want to make sure I have them first. I'm still waiting for

some of the stuff to come in, and it will be the guest section.

I'm really excited because I think there's enough variety there. That'll be something for everybody.

Yeah, yeah. Incredible. And part of the reason I mentioned that, of course, is I

have a contribution there and I know some of the people that are contributing

and they're really. So you guys make sure to check it out.

She has introduced me to some great people once again. That

has been so much fun in this journey, is meeting new people,

doing interesting things. I can talk to them for hours. I mean, it's just so

fun. This is amazing. Okay, well, thank you

so much, tammy, for your interview. And we'll have all this information in

the show notes for you, and I'll talk with you all

next week. Thanks again, Tammie. All right, thanks Molly. We'll see you soon. Bye
