0:13.0	Join Tanya this season as she explores the theme of small changes for big impact.

0:22.2	dalton.com slash podcast. And now, here's your host, Tanya Dalton. Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to
0:30.9	Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 135, Finding Your Purpose Within Pain. Now I know that sounds like
