| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful bands and welcome to today's episode. So this ep is going to be all about |
| 0:05.5 | acceptance and moving forward and why it is that you are struggling with acceptance and why it is |
| 0:12.1 | that you just can't move on from something. Now, there's a whole bunch of categories that we can |
| 0:17.7 | talk about here when it comes to acceptance. It can be acceptance |
| 0:20.9 | of the, it's not always a bad thing. For example, it could be acceptance of the start of a new |
| 0:27.3 | life, but also means the end of an old life. Someone recently sent me a question, I had a question |

| 1:22.3 | It's going to cock block you from moving forward in the most productive way. |
| 1:26.2 | It's going to really hinder you from |
| 1:28.8 | reaching your true, just a place of true happiness and feeling of like enjoying the moment again, |
| 1:36.7 | okay? And sometimes it can just like creep into your life here and there, but sometimes it |
