| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Feel Good Effect. If you want to find the beauty in being different than this |
| 0:06.6 | episode is for you. Let's make it happen. Welcome to the Feel Good Effect, a podcast about what it |
| 0:14.9 | really means to be healthy. I'm your host, Robin Conley Downs. I'm a researcher, blogger, storyteller, and educator, and I know |
| 0:24.1 | firsthand just how hard creating a healthy lifestyle can be. In this podcast, we'll talk to health |
| 0:30.3 | and wellness thought leaders, innovators, and visionaries to deconstruct healthy to help you |
| 0:35.7 | feel good. Hey, help you feel good. |
| 0:41.7 | Hey, hey, feel good effect community. |
| 0:46.8 | I'm so glad you're here for this final episode of this season on the Feel Good Effect podcast. |
| 0:47.9 | If you tuned in last week, which I highly recommend if you didn't, you go back and listen. |
| 0:52.3 | I share that we are going to take a six-week break here on the Feel Get Effect podcast, and we will be back in mid-August with brand new fresh episodes. So I've already started recording interviews for August. So don't worry, we will for sure be back. But until then, we're going to take this incredible time to tune in, to refresh. I'm going to |
| 1:12.9 | spend some time with my family, connecting with them, and living true to my value of taking a |
| 1:19.3 | break and taking a rest. And I want to encourage you to use the next six weeks, to use the |
| 1:24.7 | summer, if you're listening in real real time to put some of the feel good |
| 1:28.1 | effect practices into action. So we share so many tactical tips and I know that they can go |
| 1:33.1 | by really quickly. So here's your opportunity. If you started listening to the show kind of midway |
| 1:38.3 | at any point, we're, you know, well into the 50s here in terms of the number of episodes. So there are actually 56 episodes to listen to. |
| 1:47.8 | So if you came in midway, I highly encourage you to go back and download from the beginning so you can |
| 1:53.7 | kind of listen from the start. And even if you are a true fan and you've never missed an episode, |
| 1:59.2 | it's been a year. And you might want to go back and |
| 2:01.9 | kind of relisten to some of those episodes that you really connected with. And maybe they'll |
| 2:06.4 | mean something different to you now because you're at a different place in your life. Or maybe |
| 2:10.3 | you can actually put some of it into action. You know, you have a little more time for implementation. |
