| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Soul and Witt. |
| 0:03.9 | I'm Courtney. |
| 0:05.0 | And I'm Bailey. |
| 0:05.9 | We are the mother-daughter duo here to make you laugh, grow, and feel more connected to your favorite things. |
| 0:23.3 | Hey, Bailey. |
| 0:25.7 | Hi, Mom. How was your week? |
| 0:30.6 | My week was good. I'm so excited to be all done with January. |
| 0:37.9 | I know. January was a really long month. Although I've read some things and I have to agree that we always say January is a long month. And then at the end of the year, we're like, why is this year so short? Okay, but I don't think |

| 1:34.8 | Still shorter than January. I know. I had this conversation earlier today. I know I'm really excited for |
| 1:40.8 | February. I have a few like fun things planned. So there's stuff to actually look forward to, whereas January felt like just kind of. I loved January. |
