0:00.0	Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck.
0:09.2	Today we have with us, the wonderful folks from the Oprah Book Club. Thank you all so much for coming.
0:15.7	Oh my goodness gracious. A full one hour to do the Gathering Room on a topic that my regular viewers may know very, very
0:24.4	well, but guess what? There is more material to delve into today. So the topic is integrity,
0:32.0	because you from the Oprah Book Club know that this month, Oprah has honored me beyond words by choosing my book
0:40.1	The Way of Integrity, which you see a huge shelf of behind me up there somewhere. Yeah, I have,

1:42.5	I feel I have to go find myself. They know where
1:45.6	themselves are, themselves are right in their bodies. But before they get very old, they start
1:50.7	getting pressure from people around them or from circumstances that require them to behave in
1:56.7	ways that maybe aren't completely authentic to them, to not be fussy, to not complain, to be,
2:03.7	you know, to be quiet instead of rowdy. And 99 times out of 100, that baby will split from
