| 0:00.0 | Hey, guys, welcome to not another anxiety show. I'm your host, Kelly Walker, and joining me today is guest Sharon Selby. Hi, Sharon. Hi, Thanks for having me. Did I say your last name right? |
| 0:23.1 | That's right. Yes. Oh, good. I meant to ask before we started recording. Now, do you mind if I |
| 0:29.6 | share a little bit more about you with our audience before we start chatting? Sure. That sounds great. |
