0:07.9	that that space had to be filled and I started doing advocacy work and I actually six months later
0:15.2	was unable to walk. I suddenly couldn't use my right side and I found out I got hospitalized
0:23.6	and I found that I had multiple sclerosis and I had an autoimmune condition and that is where we

0:35.9	the bud, if we don't start to recognize that we can ask for help, that we can, that we need to put

1:46.4	were able to find some time yesterday, excuse me, on Sunday that brought you some kind of peace
1:52.5	and joy. If nothing else, that is definitely my prayer and my wish for you. So back to this episode,
1:59.3	we are talking about a lot of things in this episode, including using your voice and the importance
2:06.9	of using your voice, especially if you are introverted, like I am introverted, and she actually
