0:00.0	This is a paid advertisement from Better Help.
0:02.0	Hello, guilty feminist, this is Deborah.
0:04.0	I think personally, and as a community, we've got better at standing up for the things we need.
0:11.0	We don't always need to keep calm and carry on and end up having an absolute breakdown anymore.
0:15.6	We can ask for help and we can get it. And we all have things we just never skip.
