| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and happy Sunday. I hope you are having a glorious weekend. |
| 0:11.0 | I just wanted to share with you a little moment from tomorrow's episode where I am joined by the lovely Melissa Hemesley. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm like, oh my gosh, why am I running out of time? I think that's another thing I've worked on a lot in therapy is what's the rush? |
| 0:29.1 | And you're 33, I'm 36, almost 37. I feel like we're the same generation where it was |
| 0:37.0 | very rising stars under 30 or you know teenagers that have made their first billion, whatever. |

| 0:49.8 | Right. |

| 1:38.0 | And so at the moment I'm doing exactly what you've just said where I've taken on probably more than I can handle because I feel like I need to get them all done by this in this time period because then I have to go and do like other things that are expected of me. |
| 1:54.3 | Who's decided our expiry date? |
| 1:56.1 | It's so funny. |
| 1:56.8 | I just had this vision when you said, |
