0:00.0	Welcome to Edit Your Life, a podcast to help you edit the unnecessary from your life so you have more room to enjoy the awesome.
0:12.3	Through episodes with me, Christine Coe, and a range of smart, compassionate guests, you will come away with insights and tactics to help you find the agency and space to simplify

0:26.7	Hello, friends. I am so delighted to bring this practical, loving, caring, compassionate
