0:00.0	You're listening to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast, episode number 234. We're talking about
0:06.8	gardening and self-care and a whole lot more. Stay tuned. Hi, I'm Jen Ridey, and this podcast is for
0:14.5	women who want to feel more vibrant, happy, aligned, and alive. You'll gain the emotional,
0:20.3	physical, and spiritual tools you need
0:22.4	to get your sparkle back and ensure that depression, anxiety, and struggle don't rule your life.
0:28.4	Welcome to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast.
0:32.1	Hey, my friends, Jen here. I have a special guest for you today. Her name is Leah Lee Burnett. And I don't know when I
0:40.4	started to follow her, but I just noticed there was a woman online commenting on some of my posts.

1:30.1	Leah is a special soul. When I see pictures of her and see what she's doing, I can feel her energy
1:37.8	all the way up here in Madison, Wisconsin. She's in St. Louis. I can feel that she's doing
1:43.1	something important and something special.
1:45.6	So when I thought about self-care and who I wanted to reach out to to discuss this, I thought
1:50.6	Leah right away, Leah, she's doing something that's making a difference. So I want you to listen to
