0:00.0	Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. Hello everyone. I'm your host, Madeline, and today I will be doing
0:28.9	another solo episode since our lovely co-host, Kana, is out in Portland doing a pop-up event
0:35.4	this weekend to help launch her newest zine issue. If you want to
0:39.9	check out her zine, she does it as part of her jewelry brand and art project. You can find it on
0:45.2	Instagram or elsewhere on the internet. She has her own website. It is called To Fashion a Strawberry.
0:50.7	And it is very cute and cool. But that does mean we don't have kenna today and i didn't want
0:56.9	you to go another week without an episode since i know we've been kind of spotty on the episodes
1:01.5	lately while i finished up my book uh yeah so she's out and you are stuck with me today so this means

This one actually caught me off guard. But yeah, researchers have actually shown repeatedly that expressing your anger
