| 0:05.0 | I'm your host Natalie Lou, author of Baggage Reclaim.com, |
| 0:10.0 | where I help people to offload the shady relationships |
| 0:13.4 | and emotional baggage that block healthy self-esteem |
| 0:16.7 | and loving relationships. |
| 0:20.5 | This week I talk about building your self-care routine and how to deal with a rational jealousy. |
