| 0:13.3 | Welcome to the Feel Good Effect. I'm your host, Robin Conley Downs, and I help people find time and create space in their lives for what matters |
| 0:22.1 | most by sharing simplified strategies for wellness. This podcast is all about real talk, real wellness, |
| 0:29.9 | and unpacking what it really means to be healthy. Well, hey, feel good fam, I am really glad you're here. |
| 0:41.0 | Today's special episode is a conversation with Dr. Rick Hansen. |
| 0:46.2 | Rick is a psychologist whose work really focuses on the need for mental resources, |
