| 0:07.7 | podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to |
| 0:14.1 | rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you take |

| 0:29.3 | Hey there. Welcome back to another episode. It's me, Katie. And today I wanted to talk about |
| 0:34.7 | gift-giving boundaries and why they are so dang important. Obviously, |
