| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Emily Abadi checking in here for five minute Friday coming to you from |
| 0:25.1 | A-G studio. Man, this was a good week for me and I was like sitting here as I was thinking |
| 0:33.2 | about what I was going to say for this episode. I don't want to come off as like ungrateful or |
| 0:39.2 | that like life has just been a series of like blah lately. But it's been a long time since I've |
| 0:46.2 | been able to like take a step back and be like, I am so content at the conclusion of this week. |
| 0:51.6 | Like I feel very fulfilled and excited and I think it just goes hand in hand with all of the |

| 1:46.0 | and that is not really something that they are interested in pursuing at the moment. |
| 1:50.2 | Whatever the circumstance may be, I myself as I'm sure many of you do as well have some of |
| 1:55.9 | these relationships in my ecosystem and the person that I was talking to about one of them in |
| 2:01.4 | particular was saying to me, well, she asked, how can you reframe that relationship in your life? |
| 2:08.3 | Like instead of focusing on the negatives about this particular situation, maybe you can think |
| 2:13.9 | about what it is that that relationship can provide for you as it is now and I stopped |
| 2:21.2 | and I thought about that and I'm not saying that in every single situation it is easy to reframe |
