| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. |
| 0:04.9 | This week we have our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:06.9 | We have our special segment. |
| 0:08.2 | OMG! I'm freaking out! |
| 0:10.5 | Where Shauna needs a digital detox and Laura might need an exorcist. |
| 0:14.7 | And we close with our BFPs and BFNs for the week. |
| 0:17.4 | Just a heads up, there was a little issue with Shana's audio, so she may sound a little |
| 0:21.3 | different than usual. We really apologize for that, but we will be fixing that for the next |
| 0:25.5 | episode. But for now, let's get to it. Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 350. |
