| 0:08.0 | Hey guys, it's Lana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:12.7 | I'm excited about this episode because I know this episode is one that will help you. |
| 0:18.1 | I hope they all help you, but this one, I think specifically, you know, a lot of you guys and myself are very anxious |
| 0:24.9 | daters. |
| 0:25.6 | And so I wanted to do a deep dive into dating anxiety because, duh, we all need all the help |
| 0:31.8 | we can get. |
| 0:32.6 | So today I am joined by Kelly McKenna. |
| 0:34.6 | She is a therapist and practice owner licensed in New York, New Jersey, |
| 0:38.3 | and Florida. She's also known as Sit with Kelly on Instagram. I love her content. She like has so |
| 0:46.3 | much good insight and so many tools and tips and guidance on how to actually deal with your |
| 0:53.5 | anxiety. And so definitely give her a follow. |
| 0:56.4 | We're going to talk all about all the things that you guys want to hear about with anxiety |
| 0:59.8 | today. I am blabbing on now. Real quick update, I don't know if you guys, like, I don't know |

| 1:33.8 | and in my thumb over the years. And something's gone on that's pretty funky over the last few months |
| 1:39.8 | where like I'm in the most pain I've ever been in. It literally hurts to hold my phone. It hurts to like hold a cup to type on my computer to do anything. I actually canceled all the other recordings I had earlier this week because I really didn't think I could do it. But I was like, oh shit, next Tuesday is coming out and have an episode. So I'm going to power through this one. And I'm really glad I did. It's a really, really wonderful episode. And again, Kelly is fantastic. Oh, but yeah, so figuring out what's going on with my wrist, had an MRI. Dealing with health insurance has been such a pain. I, you know, I was told that MRI was approved, like pre-approved.
