| 0:16.2 | I'm your host, Shannon Ables. |
| 0:18.8 | And whether you're listening on your commute, exercising, working in the garden, or sitting down with a hot cup of tea or a |
| 0:25.0 | cafe ole. Thank you for tuning in. Let's get started. Welcome to the 61st episode of the simple sophisticated. Today's topic is |
| 0:48.9 | something I have been thinking about for the last few months especially with my recent move to a new town. |
