0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome to being well. I'm Forrest Hansen and joining me for this very special holiday edition of the podcast is one of my
0:15.2	absolutely favorite people Elizabeth Ferreira. Elizabeth thanks for doing this with me
0:19.2	today. I'm so excited you know we were just talking the other day also watching British Bake
0:26.2	Baking show great finish You know we were watching you know the holiday special and in a moment of
0:35.0	Late night chat. We were like why don't we do a Christmas special? We should do a being well holiday special and I was like what's it going to be on Elizabeth?
0:40.0	Well we're going to find out.
0:42.0	And that's about as far as we got, and here we are right now.
0:47.0	So a little bit more about Elizabeth, if you haven't listened to any of the previous episodes with her.

1:49.2	just to like come and hang out with us. So if you're feeling lonely or a little bit sad,
1:56.1	or if you're like me and you isolate and just watch Harry Potter
1:59.6	on Christmas, you can join us and we welcome you into our home.
2:04.0	So it might make sense if you're comfortable doing it.
2:07.0	To just like share a little bit about your history with the holidays,
