| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim and I'm a therapist who went through his own |
| 0:06.7 | rebirth. I share my feelings and revelations. I believe in casual or |
| 0:11.0 | clinical and with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on |
| 0:15.9 | purpose because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. My first girlfriend had an abortion and we were in our early 20s and I just I can't |
| 0:30.6 | imagine at that age me raising a child definitely wasn't ready |
| 0:35.0 | I'm not saying that people in their 20s can't raise children our parents did right |
| 0:40.6 | but just for myself, just thinking like if I had had that child, he or she |

| 1:58.9 | take her seriously I will treat her like like an adult when she's three. |
| 2:04.0 | And I'll be there to process her broken heart. |
| 2:09.7 | Teach her to be heard, to be kind, |
| 2:12.1 | to love her body, and encourage her to be whoever she wants. |
