0:00.0	I'm Elizabeth Reese.
0:12.6	I'm Marjorie Punit.
0:13.8	This is best to the nest, to the podcast that is all about creating strong, comfortable, beautiful nests that prepare us to fly. Oh, Marjorie, what are we
0:23.5	talking about today, lady? I'm very proud of this title. Really? We are talking about the
0:29.0	hidden value of discomfort. Oh my gosh. I'm actively trying to be more comfortable in this very

1:28.7	that, and that's where the primary bedroom is. And so that was staying, I actually went out and
