0:10.6	Yay! I love that! Thank you!
0:14.2	Ha!
0:20.7	Hi and welcome to Happier and Hollywood! The podcast about how to be happier, healthier,
0:25.9	sane or more creative, more successful and more productive in a backbiting, superficial, chaotic,
0:31.6	unpredictable, fundamentally insane world. I'm Liz Kraft, a TV writer and producer,
