0:00.8	Hi guys. Welcome to your Sunday pep talk. These are short little episodes that I create with the intention of giving you a little motivation on this Sunday. I want to give you some inspiration, a little kick in the butt, maybe if that's what you need, but a reminder that you are strong
0:22.6	and powerful and you have the ability to create any life that feels good for you.
0:30.3	So let's talk a little bit about taking up space.
