| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Clear, Not Louder, the podcast that was formerly known as the Self-Love Fix podcast. |
| 0:10.1 | And if you used to listen to the Self-Love Fix podcast, you have no idea what's going on. |
| 0:14.6 | Please listen to the trailer just before this episode to catch up. |
| 0:19.5 | Speaking of the trailer, okay, I was wearing my Envisaline. |
| 0:23.6 | It is round two, by the way, because I was being bad and did not wear my retainer. |

| 1:35.6 | of the podcast and started from scratch but yeah last year when I essentially disappeared |
| 1:40.3 | I really just took a step back from social media, the podcast, everything. And if you |
| 1:46.9 | listen to the trailer, the episode just before this, you'll hear more about that. But when I did that, |
| 1:52.9 | I found myself spending a lot of time baking and a lot of time gardening. And it wasn't for any other |
