0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast where we talk about how to be happier.
0:07.3	This week we'll talk about the calendar of catalysts and we'll also talk to writer, photographer
0:12.8	and activism and leadership coach Karen Walren about her new book The Lightmakers Manifesto.
0:31.6	I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose study is haphazine as good habits in human nature.
0:35.8	I'm in New York City in my little home office and joining me today from Los Angeles is my sister,
0:41.6	Elizabeth Kraft, my sister, the same. That's me, Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer
0:47.1	living in LA, but Gretchen, I'm about to go to Puerto Rico to start shooting the second season
0:53.2	of fantasy islands. So I will be recording from Puerto Rico. Let the adventure begin.
0:59.2	Yes. Yes. Yeah, before we launch into this week's episode, we have a couple updates.

1:40.8	doctor, people are more likely to get a quicker and more reliable answer from their pharmacist.
1:46.7	Additionally, I advise caution with telling people to take medications with yogurt, pudding,
1:51.6	or any other dairy containing food or beverage because some medications will not work if
1:57.2	taken with dairy. Again, for questions about how to take medications more effectively, talk with
2:03.0	a pharmacist. This is the role of the pharmacist to improve health through appropriate medication use.
2:10.0	So, excellent point, Lindsay. Talk to your pharmacist. Go start all the pharmacists out there.
2:15.2	Yes. So, this week, I tried this at home tip, is to use the calendar of catalysts.
