0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim, and I'm not just a therapist and coach. I'm also someone going through his own journey learning about life and love and what it means to be a human being.
0:10.0	And I love to create a dialogue that's unrehearsed casual over clinical because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated.
