| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here, and today I want to talk about opting out of fear. |
| 0:21.8 | And really the question is, what are you so afraid of in life? |
| 0:27.9 | I know I still have some fears I could list for you. |
| 0:31.8 | I have some of the more regular common fears. |
