| 0:00.0 | This episode is supported by Daily Harvest. Daily Harvest ships ready to go, organic smoothies, and soups right to your door. |
| 0:07.1 | And now they offer overnight oats and chia parfays too. Can you make your own overnight oats and chia pudding? |
| 0:13.6 | Probably. Are you going to spend the time and money to buy all the ingredients the Daily Harvest puts in these things? Probably not. |
| 0:20.0 | They offer special ingredients like |
| 0:21.8 | dragon fruit, gold milk, blue magic, and organic white pepper. This is one of the reasons I love |
| 0:27.6 | daily harvest so much. I get to try new ingredients without having to buy a whole bag, tub, |
| 0:32.0 | container of it, and maybe not use it again. I always have some daily harvest soups and |
| 0:37.0 | smoothies and oats stocked in my freezer for busy weeks |
| 0:39.9 | or I'm just feeling kind of lazy. |
| 0:42.1 | If you want to try daily harvest and receive three free soup, smoothies, Chia Parfaser, overnight oats, |
| 0:47.6 | or a combination of all three with your first order, head to daily dash harvest.com and enter code one-part plan at checkout. O-N-E, P-A-R-T, P-L-A-N-T. |

| 1:08.6 | You know, I wrote the eulogy down, and then I asked myself, if I continued living the way I am right now, would I get to that end point, that eulogy? And the answer was no. And like, that was massive for me. That was a huge realization. |
| 1:26.2 | Hey, it's Jessica Mernian, and this is the One Part podcast. Each week, I bring you next level |
| 1:31.4 | inspiration from guests doing extraordinary things. And this week, I'm talking to Brooke |
| 1:36.5 | McCleary, writer, podcaster, and slow-living expert. Although I kind of feel like she |
| 1:41.7 | wouldn't call herself an expert, but I am. |
| 1:45.3 | Okay, let's get started. |
| 2:01.9 | Hi, I'm so excited about today's episode, not just the interview because I love this interview, but today's guest might just have the best voice we've ever had on the podcast. |
| 2:11.9 | It's so soothing to me. Did you like heavy breathing? Anyway, so before we get started on this show, |
| 2:19.3 | I had an idea I wanted to share with you. So we have had some really incredible guests on this show, |
| 2:26.1 | and we've connected with them on a very deep level. I know a lot of us have cried and laughed and just felt really connected to people. But then, after the show, what happened? It's like |
