| 0:16.3 | 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 87th episode of the simple |
| 0:47.3 | Sophisticate. Now for many of us we have a big holiday coming up this Sunday it is a Valentine's Day and |
