Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. We are doing another Q&A episode today just to remind

her if you love this podcast, if you could please leave me a five star review on Apple

Podcast. If that's where you listen, that would just mean a whole lot to me. You don't

even have to write that much. If you want to, you can. Some of you do and it's super meaningful

and I appreciate that. But if you love this podcast, I would love a five star review,
