| 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. |
| 0:09.5 | Since 2005, I've run one of the longest running self-help blogs in the world, BaggageRe claim.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 |
| 0:27.6 | by letting go of emotional unavailability, people pleasing and unhealthy relationships so you can live |

| 1:42.6 | time, and it crystallized over the last while. |
| 1:46.1 | And I was like, oh, what I'm going to do, first of all, is record for the podcast some of |
| 1:54.5 | baggage reclaims most popular, most red, most impactful posts, and share them in between these main episodes. |
| 2:04.5 | And so these are the Between the Sessions ones. And the first one went out last week. So in early |
