0:00.0	Hey, guys, welcome to not another anxiety show. I'm your host, Kelly Walker, and joining me today is guest, Jenna Overbaugh. Hey, Jenna.
0:20.0	Hey, thank you so much for having me. I am so glad you
0:23.3	could be here today. Do you mind if I share a little bit more about you with our listeners before we
0:27.0	get chat in here? Yeah, that would be great. Wonderful. Okay, so Jenna Overbaugh is a licensed
0:33.9	professional counselor who has been working with people who have OCD and anxiety since 2008.
0:39.0	She has experience working at all levels of care, including eight years at a residential recovery unit with some of the most debilitating cases of OCD in the world.
0:47.0	She is also the host of her own podcast called All the Hard Things and struggled with postpartum OCD when she had her now four-year-old.

1:40.4	about the nature of OCD? Absolutely. So I agree with you. It is a huge problem. And it seems
1:48.2	like as soon as I start to believe that maybe we're going more in the right direction, that someone
1:54.1	else uses it in a really not helpful way. Just for instance, the other day I was at the gym and I do like a, I do a boot camp
2:04.9	style workout. And at the end of the of the camp, I was, you know, helping just put the weights back,
2:10.9	just trying to be like nice and helpful. And someone asked, oh, do you have OCD? And I wanted to be like, girl, you have no idea.
2:20.2	But that's exactly what it is, right?
