| 0:14.7 | podcast, you'll find honest conversations about health, wellness, self-care, work-life balance, and everything in between. We'll cover it all |
| 0:24.4 | and provide inspiration, resources, and practical tips to help you become the healthiest version of |
| 0:30.3 | yourself, inside and out. Hi, friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I am so glad you're here. I hope you're doing well today. And if you're |
| 0:41.5 | having a hard day, that's okay too. I hope that today's episode will lift you up and give you |
