0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Calmar You podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, a
0:08.3	hypnotologist and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And this podcast is all
0:14.8	about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self. Hello, hello and
0:20.2	welcome. Thank you so much for joining me today.
0:22.5	I hope you're doing well. I am talking on this episode to Jess from I Am Paying Attention,
