0:00.0	Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches
0:09.3	Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.
0:22.0	Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's podcast, we're talking about keeping motivated with your meditation practice.
0:38.0	You know, this is a really important part of how we can clear our anxiety panic by adding some sort of meditation practice into our
