| 0:00.0 | Honey. Oh, honey. We're here. We're ready for another episode of The Rise Together |
| 0:09.8 | podcast. I'm ready to rise. I just don't want to. Together. You know why? Why? I'm |
| 0:14.7 | kidding. I'm not going to make an excuse about not wanting to talk about anything |
| 0:17.4 | on Rise Together. Honey, this is an episode all about excuses. That's right. This |
| 0:23.0 | week we are digging into the excuses that you have to let go of as a couple. In my |
| 0:31.9 | new book, Girlstop Apologizing, I discuss all of the excuses that dreamers and |
| 0:37.6 | goal-oriented people and women who want something more. What are those things |
| 0:41.3 | that you need to give up if you're going to pursue a better life? And we thought |

| 1:23.6 | thinks the least or the person who has the most excuses sets the bar almost. Like |
| 1:31.8 | the person who is most sure that you're not the couple who does dot, dot, dot. Or the |
| 1:37.3 | person who is least motivated to reach for more basically acts as a bit of an |
| 1:44.5 | anchor that keeps the relationship from becoming what it can. So it's a- this |
| 1:49.6 | is a conversation that both parties have to be on board for. |
| 1:55.0 | Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis. And I'm Dave Hollis. And we're married. For like 15 years. |
| 2:00.4 | And we have four kids. That's like a thousand kids. We've been foster parents |
