0:00.0	Welcome to the Dear Body podcast. I'm your host, Jesse Jean, and this is a show dedicated to my fellow ambitious, goal-driven women who want to feel in flow and in momentum in their life instead of perpetually feeling behind.
0:20.2	We have a lot of discussion around here on how to have a
0:22.7	healthy relationship with food, fitness, and your body. I share some pretty unique and effective

1:52.9	forced. Like you're standing in front of the mirror. You're looking at yourself. You're repeating
