0:00.0	We'll sing this song to know when we're about to move on.
0:28.0	What's going on Love Tribe? Thank you for tuning in to another show. We have a fun one for you today
0:34.9	where we welcome Susan Piver and she is a New York Times best-selling author of nine books,
0:41.2	including The Hard Questions, which we talk about today. The award winning how not to be afraid of
0:47.2	your own life. The wisdom of a broken heart and start here now. An open hearted guide to the path
0:54.1	in practice of meditation. Today we talk with Susan about it's actually a re-release of her
1:00.8	classic book The Hard Questions. She tells us why she wrote the book, but it's basically questions
1:07.2	to ask ourselves and our partners to get to know them better and to get to know ourselves better.
1:14.7	One of the great things that I've come to realize is that a lot of times there's a lot to learn

1:48.7	in designing this book and some of the questions she'll ask during the show will be thought
1:55.6	provoking and we encourage you to ask yourselves and your partners. And she made a really good point
2:00.6	when we were talking about birthdays during the podcast and how they're important to some people,
2:06.4	but not to others and they're important to me but not to chase and she asks, chase the question,
2:11.8	well why is it not important to you? Because we're always questioning ourselves why is something
2:16.5	important? So it's important to also ask the opposite. So yeah, I love that. There's multiple
2:24.8	sides to a question. So we'll let you know next time why birthdays are not important to chase.
2:30.6	I'm still trying to figure that out. Well anyway guys, thank you so much for tuning in for checking
2:36.0	out our website. We have over 300 episodes there at idpodcast.com. So if there's a specific
