| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive. On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment, OMG, I'm freaking out, and we wrap it up with our BFPs and BFMs for the week. Let's get started. |
| 0:18.3 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. It's episode 23. Always start with our weekly check-ins. |
