| 0:00.0 | I'm Robin Long, Pilates instructor and founder of the balanced life. |
| 0:13.5 | Here on the Balance Life podcast, you'll find honest conversations on health, |
| 0:18.1 | wellness, self-care, work-life balance, and everything in between. |
| 0:22.5 | We'll cover it all and provide inspiration, resources, and practical tips to help you create |
| 0:28.7 | your own uniquely balanced life and become the healthiest version of yourself, inside and out. |
| 0:36.2 | If you ever feel tired, bored, exhausted, run down, overwhelmed, stressed, |
| 0:42.8 | or just plain blah, this episode is for you. I'm going to start us off with a little confession. |
