0:00.0	You guys, it is here, almost 30. The book is now available for purchase. It is a definitive
0:06.9	guide to a life you love for the next decade and beyond. We wrote this because our late 20s
0:13.7	wrecked us. And if we would have known that this was a period of possibility, we would have been
0:19.1	so much better off. We were both
0:21.1	feeling super lost, honestly like questioning everything from our careers to relationships.
0:27.5	And we realized that no one really talks about how intense this time can be. And we wanted to
0:32.2	create the book we wish we had back then, something that really moves people to their most aligned life possible

1:22.6	Did you watch the football last night? It's never about, I'll watch your skincare routine. Whereas women walk into a room and because we've been taught to be pitted against each other.
1:32.3	Yeah.
1:32.6	Not always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't.
1:35.8	It's a bit of a barrier.
1:36.5	Yeah, yeah.
1:37.2	And it shouldn't be there.
1:38.3	We should be trying to change that stereotype,
1:41.1	believing that there is space for everybody.
