Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from listeners like you. Because walking just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you left.

Welcome to Sizzy Larson Live.

Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.
