0:00.0	Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches
0:09.3	Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, Hannah and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.
0:20.0	Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.
0:27.0	Today we're going to be talking about busyness and is busyness adding to your stress and anxiety. Hope you'll stick with us.
