| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | My name is Lisa A. Romano. |
| 0:08.0 | I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. |
| 0:16.0 | I am a believer in the power of an organized mind. |
| 0:20.0 | My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness rather |
| 0:25.8 | than living a reactive life. |
| 0:28.4 | May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope as you |
| 0:33.5 | spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
