0:11.0	This is your host Sarah Hart Unger, and this is a podcast where we talk all things
0:15.2	planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.3	If you are in the U.S. listening to this, you're probably coming off a 4th of July
0:22.0	holiday, probably a three-day weekend. I hope it was great. And if you feel like you haven't
0:28.4	quite gotten into the swing of your planning in the back half of 2025, I'm here to tell you
0:33.9	that you're allowed to start the back half of 2025 today instead of on July 2nd

1:39.6	and yes, I'm doing a mid-year check-in in 2026 as well. So you have six hours of guided planning content
1:46.4	plus a workbook which will come out this fall. You'll have access to that at the beginning of
