Hi, everyone. Welcome to our very special bonus episode of Big Fat Positive with

0:07.8

Sean and Laura. This is going to be part one of a two-part bonus episode extravaganza

0:13.4

where we answer your listener questions from our check in the inbox segment. These are

0:18.2

questions that we got that we did not have time to answer during a regular

0:21.5

episode. So here we have them in a big bonus episode. That's right. So here we are. We are here to
