0:00.0	Hey, it's Josie with Affirmation Pod, and this is where you get soothing affirmations to help you grow,
0:06.3	evolve, and to really get to know who you are and how you want to live your life.
0:11.5	Welcome to new listeners. Welcome again to returning listeners. We're now in the month of June.
0:16.9	Summer is coming up. Some of you are in the thick of or just celebrated grad season. Maybe it's
0:24.1	wedding season or simply relax and enjoy the sun season. With more social settings comes social
0:32.0	expectations, both on what you put on yourself and what you put on others. Today's episode is called
0:39.1	giving up or letting go. It is inspired by some of my coaching clients who have really
0:45.3	held on to expectations they have in relationships with siblings, family, or romantic partners,

1:38.9	brought to you by Cozy Earth. Our days can be filled with stress, pressure, and a to-do list that keeps getting
1:46.5	longer. We all need a retreat to rest, restore, and recharge for the next day. I've made a sanctuary
1:53.1	in my home with cozy earth. It's not complicated. I simply use cozy earth sheets. I have two sets
1:59.8	because when one goes into the wash, I right away
2:02.4	put the other set on. I don't use any other brand of bed sheets because they're soft, comfortable,
2:08.3	temperature regulating fabrics. Help me to rest so much more comfortably. Some family from out of town
2:14.1	will be staying with me over the summer during a wedding, and I have cozyzier sheets ready for them too. Your sanctuary awaits at Cozy Earth. Use promo code
