| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Rubber Puff. Do you know what one of the hardest challenges for me is as being a clinical psychologist now for over 30 years? |
| 0:17.0 | My answer might surprise you. It isn't the stories that I hear, not at all. |
| 0:23.5 | I'm rarely, if ever, surprised by any stories that I hear about people's lives anymore. |
| 0:28.8 | But the part that can be difficult is when people come in and tell me the mistakes that they've made in life, which to me, |
