0:00.0	I thought it was all about me and my issues and addictions and problems, thought it all meant
0:07.0	something. And what I really started to see is that it doesn't. It's experience that moves through us.
0:13.2	None of this is this stable thing that has anything to do with who we are. It's one narrator
0:20.0	that's constantly talking, pulling in
0:22.5	what our senses bring in, pulling in old thoughts, old memories, and just telling a story about it.
0:28.5	No one on earth has ever been stuck in a feeling forever.
0:32.1	Ever. Welcome to the Melanie Avalon biohacking podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the

1:36.8	paradigm shifts here. Ever since I read Amy Johnson's book, The Little Book of Big Change,
1:42.2	I've been telling everybody about it. I knew I had to get her on the
1:45.5	podcast. And I also knew if I got her on the podcast, she would be the episode to start off the new year.
1:51.8	So here it is. I think you'll walk away from this episode so inspired, so renewed. And you might just
1:57.8	experience some pretty radical, mind-blowing, life-changing epiphanies
