0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Liz Moody podcast. Guys, I have been so stressed lately,
0:05.8	and I do not think that I'm alone in that. So today, I thought I would get into why we all
0:10.9	feel so uniquely stressed right now. And more importantly, the things that I have found work the
0:15.9	best to decrease that stress so we can all start feeling better and more relaxed in our day-to-day lives.
