0:00.0	This is Cultivated Good Life Episode 135, Navigating Depression with Dina Wiggly.
0:19.1	Hey everybody, I'm Becky Higgins and with me is my friend and co-host Becky Proudfit.
0:23.2	Well, hello. Hello, this is exciting because Dina Wiggly's one of my favorite people.
0:29.1	She's awesome. She's so good. And let me just recall a quick little story. So there I was one day
0:35.5	scrolling the Instagram, came across a piece of art that Dina had posted and it stopped me
0:40.6	my track. So you know how just some art just like speaks to you. Yeah, totaling color palette,
0:44.8	technique, whatever was going on. And I was like, that has to be no book. That has to be a no book,
0:49.9	right? Because that's me. That's the way I think of things. That's how she do. That's how I do.
0:54.8	And so I reached out to Dina of course, like within 24 hours, I had photographed it. I had submitted

1:34.9	though, as I feel like if that title is like, oh, that's for me or who that's not for me,
1:38.6	like I really challenge you to think about why you think that because one of the things is depression.
1:44.9	Yes, for some people is a lifelong battle. For some people, it goes, it ebbs and flows. For some
1:50.6	people, it's very prominent in a period of their life and not so much in the others. So rather
1:55.2	than thinking about like, oh, yes, this applies to me or no, it doesn't apply to me. I'm in
1:59.3	Italia. It applies. Well, it all applies. Listen, some of our favorite reviews and comments and
