| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Liu and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions where we break the patterns that break our hearts, relationships and bodies. |
| 0:09.0 | Since 2005, I've run one of the longest running self-help blogs in the world, Baggaggagreglaim.com. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm a boundaries and relationship coach and the author of five books including Mr. Unavailable and the |
| 0:21.5 | fallback girl and the joy of saying no. I help you reclaim yourself from emotional baggage by |
| 0:28.1 | letting go of emotional unavailability, people pleasing and unhealthy relationships so you can live |
| 0:34.2 | in love with more love, care, trust and respect. |
| 0:46.5 | Hello, hello, hello. How are you doing? I am super excited to bring you today's guest. |
| 0:55.8 | Karen Arthur is one of my closest friends and she is also family. She is a real powerhouse. |

| 1:46.0 | And I hope that in listening to Karen, you recognize that you are not behind and that you still have so much more opportunity in life. |
| 1:58.8 | Okay, let's do this. |
| 2:04.6 | Okay. opportunity in life. Okay, let's do this. Miss Karen, Miguel, you are here. I'm here. We are together. Finally, if only virtually. |
| 2:15.2 | Yes, we've been wanting to have this conversation for a few months and we've finally made it happen. |
