| 0:23.0 | Hi, all my dear friends. How are you today? Oh my gosh, we're almost into September. |

| 1:42.8 | into it. And so I want you to know, if it can happen to me, it can happen to you too. |
| 1:47.8 | So just be aware that becoming a body whisper isn't just about physical hunger. |
| 1:53.7 | It's also about the whole physicality of your body, of what your body is saying to you, |
| 1:59.3 | either emotionally or through pain or through |
