| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Balance Black Girl Podcast. We're putting Black Girl Magic in motion. |
| 0:07.0 | This show is dedicated to reinventing wellness for women of color. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm your host Lestrandra Alfred. |
| 0:15.0 | Hello there, welcome to Balance Black Girl podcast. |
| 0:19.0 | My name is Les, I am the host of Balance Black Girl and I am honored to have you joining me today |
| 0:26.0 | tuning into this episode. If you're listening to this episode on the day that it is |
| 0:30.5 | released happy Friday at least as happy of a Friday as we can currently get. |
| 0:36.5 | I know this is different new episodes usually come out every other Tuesday it has been a hot |
| 0:42.3 | minute since we've done a Friday episode. I don't |
| 0:45.4 | think I've done one since I retired the feel-good Friday episodes last year, but I have |
| 0:52.4 | been feeling called to do something a little bit different. |
| 0:59.2 | If you normally listen to the podcast, you know that this is an interview style show that I really |

| 1:29.0 | And I occasionally do solo episodes a couple times a year just so that you and I can catch up with one another |
| 1:37.5 | as I feel called or as I receive enough kind of questions from listeners that are things that I can address. |

| 2:07.8 | I just haven't had it. I haven't had the energy to do it at the volume that I normally do. Now do not get me wrong. I love it. I have plenty more interviews coming up for you all that |
| 2:16.3 | have been recorded and are in the works however it takes a lot of energy and it is energy that I am happy to spend because sharing |
| 2:26.9 | these women's stories with you are 100% worth it. |
| 2:32.4 | But I kind of wanted to mix it up a little bit. I'm kind of wanting to add some things that feel a little bit more off the cuff that feel a little bit less interviewee and just feel feel like down-home conversations with some people in my life who are willing to come on. |
