| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, I'm Leah Body here. |
| 0:22.5 | You are listening to another episode of Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. |
| 0:28.2 | I, this week, am coming back to the idea often of owning my know. |
| 0:36.9 | Things have felt a little bit hectic, and on top of things feeling hectic, if you're |
