Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11. Kelly, welcome to the program.

0:13.6

Hi, dear. Thank you. Hi. What can I do for you? Well, I listened to your show the other day, and it resonated with me. You talked with

0:23.5

another woman or mother, their daughter, that a man truly takes, or I believe this is what

0:30.3

you said, like, if there's going to be a change, but the change takes 10 years, and my daughter

0:35.3

is 29, and why wait 10 years to see if the change is going

1:38.6

phone. But anyway, we actually had a, she had a second job with us where we let her go from that instantly because he was helping her cloak, giving her ideas, he was so important.
