| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here, and we are continuing our conversation with Lauren Bertie. |
| 0:16.1 | We talked about how she opted out of struggle, but now we're diving deep into what I think makes Lauren |
| 0:22.4 | so special, which is that she has found a way to make motherhood joyful and funny and |
| 0:28.7 | engaging. And she talks about her journey toward that. In this episode, she talks a little bit more |
| 0:34.7 | about her background and how she came to that twin mama and the content |
| 0:39.5 | creation she does and how she inspires women, particularly mothers, to be joyful. |
| 0:46.7 | Let's jump into the conversation. |
| 0:53.0 | We are back with Lauren. This conversation is so dope. It's so good. And I want to switch now to talking to you.

| 2:12.8 | Like, I can't study and get like my accolades. |
| 2:15.3 | Like, what is happening? |
