0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own
0:04.3	rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life
0:08.9	lessons and revelations. I believe in casual over clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose
0:16.4	because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated.
0:32.0	What I love about living in Altadina, Altadina, if you don't know, is in California, it's a little patch. I don't even know how big it's small. It's right above
0:37.2	Pasadena right in the hills and not a lot of people know about Altadina, but it used to be very like ranchy and you know there's Altadina dairy products and milk. I think back in the day it used to be all like farmland up here and you still see people and horses and
0:55.0	stuff but there's a lot of wildlife there's a lot of weather and it's a little bit

1:52.2	but um I'm definitely on top of a table
1:55.0	waiving a skillet if I see a rat. Probably more so than a bobcat. Bobcats don't really
2:00.1	scare me. Mountain lions. Mountain lions scare me. Now that's that's so if I see a mountain lion.
2:06.7	Yeah, you're gonna hear the whole you're gonna hear the
2:10.8	you're not gonna hear a screaming.'re going to hear basically silence and then the whole thing just kind of shut down, tip over.
2:19.0	Because I will use this table as a shield if I see a mountain lion
2:25.0	Anyway, there was a one mountain lion on my neighbor's roof which is terrifying because now we're talking about animals on your
2:34.2	fucking roof. So if you come out of your house you have to look up. Can you imagine
2:38.8	coming out of your house looking up and seeing a mountain lion. Can you imagine that? Anyway, we do have Paul Prince on our
