| 0:24.7 | Kara Loyenthyle. |
| 0:26.7 | Hello my chickens. So the episodes that I did around the turn of the year about |
| 0:37.2 | how to make resolutions and impossible goals have brought up so many good questions and insights and one of the things |
| 0:46.8 | that has really become clear to me is that there's a real deep level of understanding that is required to fully comprehend what I'm teaching |
| 0:57.2 | when I teach about the idea of perfectionist fantasies and tomorrow thinking versus realistic and even |
| 1:06.0 | unrealistic in a good way goal setting versus unrealistic in a bad way and so one of |

| 2:14.8 | that this episode along with a few more that I will be re-releasing over the next |
| 2:19.0 | couple of months are the episodes that benefit the most from continual and renewed study |
| 2:26.5 | and the ones that will resonate at a deeper and deeper level |
