0:17.8	No, I really do.
0:19.3	I want to talk to you about what you think self-care is and what I think self-care is. Stay tuned.
0:30.8	Hi, everybody. How are you today? It's a beautiful day in the beginning of summer, and I don't know about you, but we've had a lot of rain.

1:53.1	And for me, this is part of probably one of the most important self-care acts that I do for myself.
1:58.7	But here's what I want to talk to you about today. What do you think
