| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, I'm Liz Holtsman and you're listening to the Simplified Podcast. If you're |
| 0:16.2 | looking for a quiet place where you can filter out the noise and the hustle, this is it. |
| 0:22.7 | Every week we invite you to slow down and join us to explore practical ways to organize |
| 0:27.7 | and automate the complicated parts of life so you can focus on what truly matters most. |
| 0:34.8 | It is officially the best time of the year. We just launched an adorable holiday capsule |
| 0:41.4 | collection at Simplified. We have a couple sweatshirts that you're absolutely going to love. They are |

| 1:40.8 | watching the neighborhood transform into a spooky Halloween village that very quickly then |
| 1:47.0 | transforms again into a Christmas wonderland and it's even more fun to do all of this with |
| 1:54.2 | my son Bennett for the very first time. It's really interesting for me to see how these rituals |
| 1:59.5 | have changed over the years especially now that we have social media showing us the fall traditions |
| 2:05.0 | and Halloween displays and how other people are decking the halls not only in our own neighborhoods |
| 2:10.2 | but across the world. The most over-the-top things get pushed to the top of the algorithm |
