0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm here to give a personal shout out to a friend of mine. As you know, I'm a Mormon woman and a mom and I started this podcast in my basement in my pajamas, basically out of a need to share and tell stories because it's a topic that I'm passionate about.
0:17.7	This coming year, I'm going to use my platform that I've built and that all you wonderful
0:22.0	folks have helped supported me in to help lift up other women like myself who are working hard
0:27.6	and doing things that they are passionate about too, and you can help. If you're a fan and supporter of
0:32.8	this podcast, I'd encourage you to help women in the community by supporting their efforts too.
0:38.5	So today I want to point you to my amazing friend, Laura Lopez. She and her mother and
0:42.8	sisters have started their own small business in Utah. If you're in Utah, please consider
0:47.6	contacting cleaning by design. Lara is a Mormon woman who is supporting her family by doing
0:53.7	an incredible job, and I'm talking incredible job cleaning homes.
0:57.7	I'm having Laura come out and sort through my mess in January, so you should feel really bad for her.
1:03.6	I hope you'll book her too. If you listen to the podcast, she'll give you $30 off of a cleaning.
1:09.0	So support local Utah women by using her for your next home or
1:12.4	office cleaning. You can contact her at cleaning by design, Utah.com or contacting her at 801-477-4197. So go ahead and
1:23.8	support Laura and her family. I realize not all of you are in Utah, so I apologize, but I will try it and connect you with folks when I can.
1:31.3	As always, please consider making a contribution to this podcast at yourpulgamy.com to keep these stories coming.
1:37.5	I'm excited to bring you the story of my friend Grace Ann Fisher today.
1:41.3	She's a woman who has faced incredible odds, whose community has consistently
1:45.4	underestimated her, and who in spite of discrimination and judgment has an incredible story to tell.
1:51.6	Grace Ann is someone who is doing incredible things in her community and for her own family,
1:57.1	and fighting against the hand that she was dealt. So I hope you enjoy the podcast.
2:12.3	Music and fighting against the hand that she was dealt. So I hope you enjoy the podcast. Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Year Palaumny Podcast.
