0:23.0	Welcome back to the show, everyone.
0:25.4	Today, I am really excited for our guest because it is my good friend, Melissa Taylor,

0:39.6	Plus, she is so knowledgeable in so many things, and she specializes in helping people find
0:45.5	natural solutions to health issues and offers tools for healing the mind, body, and spirit.
0:51.3	She believes that the impossible is possible, and today she is going to tell us all about
0:56.8	that. And so welcome to the show, Melissa. Thank you, Carlin. I'm so excited to be here talking
1:02.9	about this. So originally this happened, everybody, me asking Melissa, because back in October,
1:09.8	I was like, it's breast cancer month. I want to talk to
1:13.5	somebody that has been a breast cancer survivor. But then just with our crazy schedules,

1:56.9	I was 24 years old. You're 24. You're not expecting to be diagnosed with cancer. I was young. I was 24 years old. You're 24. You're not expecting to be diagnosed with cancer. I was young.
2:04.6	I was otherwise healthy. I did not have a family history. Contrary to what a lot of people think that
