0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindful Kind podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the
0:08.9	Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at Rachelcable.com. Each week this podcast will bring
0:15.4	meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress and live more mindfully in the modern world.
0:24.3	Hello and welcome to episode 279 of the Mindful Kind podcast. In this episode I'll be sharing
0:31.5	three steps to help you let go of embarrassment. I'm equally excited and nervous to dive into this episode because, well,
