| 0:28.4 | Welcome back. I'm Dr. Jen Ridey, your host, and I am so glad you're here. We're so grateful for our listeners. |
| 0:37.3 | And last week, you heard from Ellen Leance all about technology, how we need to master our use of technology. So we'll have happier brains. Let me tell you, |
| 0:39.7 | that one led to so many discussions with various women, but especially in my own household. So we are |
| 0:46.8 | buckling down on our technology use and really requiring our kids to do more creative, interactive, |
| 0:54.0 | fun and nature-based learning and |

| 1:51.7 | stories to relate to her audience. I don't normally leave reviews unless I love something, |
| 1:56.8 | so that says a lot about this podcast. Nancy, that means so much. Thank you for reaching out and sharing that. And you're right. I am really passionate about this because my work aside from being a good mom to my own kids is to help other women be happier as moms, as women in their careers. You know, because when we give everything for everyone else, |
| 2:18.5 | we feel empty and no women should feel that way. So I love being able to share insights, |
