Motherhood, Mean Girls & Generational Trauma with Melanie Shankle
Today's guest is bringing some hard-won, much needed wisdom for all the parents out there -- especially moms of girls -- but also for the kid in all of us still carrying wounds left open. Melanie Shankle is a three-time New York Times Best-Selling author, and for the first time, she's opening up not just about parenting her daughter, but about how becoming a parent was an unforeseen catalyst to facing a lifetime of trauma with her own mother. With her trademark humor, candor and vulnerability, Shankle encourages readers to explore their own existing wounds and trust God to not only heal, but break generational cycles of trauma with the goal of handing a legacy of triumph over to our children. To every mom who’s ever felt overwhelmed, ill-equipped and fearful she’s not “enough” for her daughter, Shankle’s Here Be Dragons offers hope, encouragement, and empowerment. When we achieve healing and wholeness in Him, there’s no dragon we can’t slay, and no parenting battle we won’t call victory.” Follow Melanie Listen to Big Boo Podcast Pre-Order Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generation Trauma

Styles of Joy with SC Perot
There are not adequate words to describe how much I adore this woman and what she is offering the world. SC Perot, Texas native turned Nashville resident, has become my new personal guru on joy. Her first book, releasing February 25, 2025 and entitled Styles of Joy, is everything I dream of for this podcast and then some! In the wake of her life-shattering divorce, SC embarked on a wildly unexpected quest for joy in places and with people she never expected. With a career as a corporate lawyer and a family background in serious politics, she never expected her head-first venture into Harry Style's fandom would save her life. SC is as wise as she is witty, and her rich, hilarious, no holds barred approach to chasing a new life defined by joy will truly change the way you live yours.
