| 0:00.0 | So what have I told you that everything you think you know about self-care most likely is a scam? |
| 0:05.8 | We're talking about that and so much more on wellness and wisdom. |
| 0:12.2 | Marr, this is really cool because I practice self-care, you practice self-care. |
| 0:17.2 | I think we all have heard of self-care Sundays, but a lot of the stuff out there is pretty |
| 0:21.8 | bullshit. Like it's made to sell you things. It's made to make you feel inferior. And really, |
| 0:27.7 | it's a weapon. It's a monetization of people's pain. So if y'all have dealt with this before, |

| 1:23.1 | other words the things that are totally in the dark about. Our goal with this podcast is to allow us and you |
| 1:29.1 | to see life through different lens. It's on the screen right now. It's the Pentagon of Wellness. |
| 1:34.2 | And on the bottom is the physical. And that's what Mar just talked about, this ability for us to be |
