0:12.4	Welcome to First Name Basis, a community of parents committed to making the transformation,
0:18.5	from good intentions to confident action.
0:26.3	Join us each week as we cover critical topics and answer the questions you've never felt comfortable asking.

0:33.5	I'm your host, Jasmine Bradshaw. Music Shaw. Hello, First Name Basis, fam. I am so glad you are here. Before we jump into the episode,
