0:00.0	My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them by hook or crow to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there is to bring it out. This is what
0:22.1	compels me to compel them. And I will do it by whatever means necessary. Welcome to the Black
0:30.2	Girl's Hill podcast where we talk about healing our intimacy disorders and resolve trauma
0:35.0	and building a healthy relationship with first ourselves and then others.
0:39.5	Every episode, we will talk about advice you can apply today to bring unhealthy patterns and grow

2:09.9	How do you? We just love hearing from you. And I'm like, okay, then we will do audio. And then if
