0:33.0	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. How are you? Seriously, how are you? I know sometimes
0:40.6	people ask me that question. I feel like there's an answer I'm supposed to give them. And I want to
0:45.9	remind you that that's not it. How are you? genuinely, can you be honest with yourself about how you are?
0:52.4	Are you taking good care of yourself? Can you be honest with yourself about how you are? Are you taking good care of yourself? Can you be

1:44.4	We have early bird pricing lasts for another week or so.
1:48.4	And I decided this round that I really want you to feel supported as soon as you start.

2:02.9	workshop via email that you can watch, you can get valuable information, and you can start to
2:08.0	feel supported, and grief will start feeling less overwhelming even before we start. So that
