0:00.0	Hello and welcome to more happier, a podcast where we get moreier. Hey, Elizabeth. Hey, Grudge. Today, we are
0:25.0	revisiting a fascinating conversation that we had with best-selling author Susan Kane. Yes, Gretchen. I love
0:32.6	Susan Kane because she gives introverts the power to be fine with being introverted.
0:38.9	I'm not an introvert, nor are you, but we have many in our lives that we love.
0:44.2	Yes, exactly.
0:45.1	And we're so excited to reshare this conversation because we just partnered with Susan to create a new journal.
0:51.3	The process was so fun.
0:53.5	The journal is for seekers of quiet, depth, and beauty in this year-long journal. The process was so fun. The journal is for seekers of quiet, depth, and beauty.
0:57.2	In this year-long journal, you'll find 52 prompts, one for each week, to help you use your

1:37.6	week's episodes, we have a few updates. The first one comes from our listener, Claire. She writes,
1:43.0	I recently completed my medical residency training, and part of it involves having to take 28-hour calls every fourth day, where you go in at 6 a.m. one day, stay all day, all night, and go home the next day at 10 a.m.
1:56.0	Most nights are so busy you never sleep, but some are quiet enough to get a few hours nap. But I always had a hard
2:01.5	time unwinding enough to fall asleep in the call room bed, anxious that my pager would go off at any
2:06.8	second. One of my supervising doctors recommend that I instead think of it as quiet rest time,
2:12.4	rather than nap time, and that even if I couldn't sleep, I could try to relax my mind and body
2:17.1	by lying still in bed.
