0:00.0	Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where each week we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women.
0:11.1	I'm Sarah Stone Street.
0:12.6	And I'm Erin Kunkel.
0:13.9	Glad you're here.
0:18.6	Welcome to the Strong Women podcast reflection episode.
0:22.7	Erin and I just got off the call with Leah Church, who is a 23-year-old.
