| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful Bean community and welcome to today's episode. This episode is going to be all about |
| 0:05.0 | kind of this transformative power of choice when you're feeling powerless. And in particular, |
| 0:11.2 | I kind of want to be talking about when you're feeling emotionally or socially powerless. |
| 0:16.6 | This kind of comes down to when you're having conflict in a relationship or when you've been |
| 0:21.1 | dumped and you have no control over that, when you've had a big falling out with a social group |
| 0:26.3 | or a friend in particular, when you're feeling powerless as far as your relationships within |
| 0:30.5 | your family. And it can also go for if you're in the dating scene and you're out there, |
| 0:34.7 | putting yourself out there, trying to date and things aren't really going your way and you've got a flame here and then it's kind of fizzling out and nothing's |

| 1:21.4 | of the time our feelings of powerless come down to a situation where it has involved |
| 1:26.7 | somebody else and didn't go the way we wanted, |
| 1:29.3 | but it went the way the other person wanted. Like they were in control of the situation. |
| 1:33.5 | We were not. And now we're left here scrambling for answers or scrambling to find a |
| 1:38.7 | skerrick of happiness somewhere because we feel like a fucking disaster. That is what I want to be |
| 1:43.0 | focusing on. Now, I'm not going to give an update on my life. |
