0:10.4	And how it is that we do this not just on an individual level, but part of it comes from
0:18.7	fighting community and working with other people and seeing our collective strength.
0:24.5	And we start to see that those pains from our childhood are not ours individually to bear.
0:30.4	The problem is really in the culture and it's affected us as individuals.
0:54.5	I'm recording this intro on January 31st, just 12 days after I chatted to Dr. Lindo Bacon.

2:37.2	it's just on my mind a lot these days because I'm feeling increasingly guilty about the many emails
2:42.4	that are piling up alongside dishes and laundry and friends I haven't replied to, showers I haven't
