| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful beans and welcome to the episode of today. So today I want to be focusing on |
| 0:05.6 | manipulation, but more than just talking about manipulation, I want to give you specifically |
| 0:11.3 | five ways that you can become harder to manipulate. So basically you make it more difficult for |
| 0:18.5 | other people to manipulate you. You put yourself in more of a position of power. |
| 0:22.6 | You have more control over your own actions and your decisions and your thoughts |

| 1:17.7 | weeks ago. It was so strange. And I was like what? She's like this is around the time when you |
| 1:21.3 | were like in Europe or Bali and I get this DM from somebody and I'm guessing that like she follows you or she |
| 1:29.3 | listens to your podcast basically the DM was that this girl was messaging my friend and she had |
| 1:35.5 | said look I don't know like you know I just saw something that I wasn't sure about and I thought I'd |
