0:00.0	Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.
0:10.5	Today we are going to opt out of mediocrity.
0:15.1	This episode is all about what you need to do to live really your best life and to leave behind mediocre connections,
0:23.7	mediocre experiences, and just plain old feelings of mediocrity. We all kind of know when we're
0:31.9	living a mediocre life. We're having a mediocre experience. People who are stuck in mediocrity and let me first say,
0:40.7	I've been there. We tend to do things like have a lack of confidence on ourselves. We don't
