0:00.0	Welcome to the Girls Talk podcast, where girls talk, girls talk, girls share, girls listen, and girls take control.
0:14.1	I'm Andrew Aboa and I started Girls Talk because of my own struggles with mental health.
0:19.1	The thing that brought me out the other side was knowing I wasn't in this alone, talking
0:23.8	about my problems with my girls and moving my body to clear my head.

1:45.3	Our Future, Our Choice, that is fighting for the rights of the youth and for their overwhelming
1:50.8	vote to remain. I have personally lost complete track of what's going on with the Brexit
1:58.1	negotiations. I feel like overwhelmed by all the information.
