| 0:00.0 | Today I want to take you behind the scenes of my most popular program, Shred with them. |
| 0:04.7 | Not just what the program is, but why it exists, because it didn't actually start as a business |
| 0:11.0 | idea. I didn't even mean to create a business when I started a business. It honestly all started |
| 0:17.2 | with me at one of the lowest points in my life, and that was when I was postpartum. |
| 0:21.8 | I was seven months postpartum. I was still overweight and struggling with postpartum depression, |
| 0:27.7 | which I honestly didn't even know at the time that I had. If you've ever been there, |
