0:08.3	Hello and welcome to girlfriends.
0:10.4	I'm Danielle Bean.
0:11.5	I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.
0:18.7	This week we are talking about things you can do when you feel
0:22.0	helpless. We're all there sometimes. Let's get going.
