| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:08.9 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. I'm your host and coach |
| 0:28.7 | Gina Ryan and I am so happy to be with you again today as together we can consider the many ways to |
