| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. Thanks for joining me, especially |
| 0:09.5 | if you struggle with feeling overwhelmed because that is what we are going to talk about today. It's been coming up more frequently |
| 0:17.8 | lately in my work with clients and this happens every time I enroll a bunch of new people in a program, |
