| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago |
| 0:05.6 | and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations. |
| 0:10.4 | I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
| 0:16.4 | because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:21.2 | Here are three ways you can become a better partner and also do as I say not as I do because I struggle with all of them. |
| 0:30.0 | All right, number one, be there. I know it sounds obvious, but listen, most of us are not there, |
