0:00.0	Welcome back to We Can Do Hard Things. Today is part two of our delicious soul shifting conversation
0:19.2	with one of the most important people in Abby and Iize life. Alex Hettison. She's been a friend and a guide to us and she is going to become a friend and a
0:32.0	friend and a guide to you.
0:33.6	I can already tell.
0:35.7	Welcome back, Alex.
0:37.3	I'm just so excited to be here.
0:40.6	Okay, so last time we ended the discussion talking about what a post-mortem looks like after a social interaction.
0:47.0	Babe, I know you had a question about that.

1:40.1	I love nothing more than using my brain than operating from the neck up logic and probably for the rest of my life I will privilege logic over anything. It will take me the rest of my life to turn in the other direction and stop and breathe and feel into something, sense something versus make sense of.
2:06.9	So it's a habit that I'm really conscious of trying to slow down what I notice when I'm going too fast if we're all together as
2:17.2	friends and I'm talking like this and I'm talking like this and then I drop something or I trip over
2:21.8	over and I'm multitasking, I'm noticing it. Oh shit, I'm doing that thing. Slow down, breathe. What's happening? I'm really uncomfortable right now.
2:34.0	I'm really nervous that this person is not getting what they need.
