0:00.0	Rewind.
0:04.4	Hey y'all, welcome back to the Affirmations for Black Girls podcast.
0:08.4	Yes, today's episode is a rewind, but don't go no well.
0:12.2	Because this summer, we're revisiting some particularly meaningful episodes for our summer break.
0:18.6	Like I told you guys in a previous episode, I wanted to give myself a little bit of time to breathe and everybody takes a summer break. Like I told you guys in a previous episode, I wanted to give myself a little bit of
0:22.6	time to breathe and everybody takes a summer break, but I didn't want to leave y'all high and dry.

2:11.3	Self care is not and never has been selfish. But we live in a capitalistic world where the man will make you believe it is.
