| 0:35.0 | Thank you for tuning in today. |
| 0:37.0 | I want to mention here at the outset of the show that today's listener question deals with a sensitive topic. |
| 0:41.0 | The caller has struggled with an eating disorder and is now going through recovery. |
| 0:46.0 | So I want to mention that, but I also want to say I really admire and respect your bravery in calling in. |
| 0:51.0 | The question, which you'll hear in a moment, is how to serve others who've had the same struggle or going through something similar and it should get a little bit more specific in her question. |
