0:00.0	Some of the big things that we sort of hit on today is this idea of figuring out how to maybe
0:05.5	bring closer the parts of us that we feel are unlovable or not worthy. And that might just be a
0:11.5	mental conversation. It could just be noticing I'm having anxiety right now. I'm feeling depressed.
0:16.7	First of all, telling yourself, that's not really me. That's a part of me. But my big self is still
0:23.1	here. And I know that I'm in that big self-parent of mine when I'm feeling compassionate connected.
0:28.5	So anything else is not me reminding yourself that. But then also if you have a part just that
0:34.4	is anxious or depressed or that you're bothered by just trying to walk closer to it and almost give it a hug.
0:58.5	Welcome back, Lauren. Thanks so much for coming back on our podcast. Last time you came,
1:17.9	it was so fun. We talked all about how PCOS relates to anxiety and depression and what we can do

1:51.5	you're struggling with these things, it's really challenging because so much of it is based on
1:56.4	the hormonal and balances that you guys talk so much about. And so if someone's seeing a therapist
2:01.4	and they don't even know that they have PCOS and the therapist isn't aware, then they're like missing
2:06.4	this whole big component of how they could really be treating this because so much of it is actually
2:10.4	based in the physical body, especially when it comes to this community. So I think it's so important
2:16.2	to just talk more about for that reason. Absolutely. Yeah. And for those that didn't listen to
2:21.2	our part one episode with you, could you give could you give the listeners your background and
2:25.2	and how you became an expert in this area? Sure. Yeah. So so basically I guess my diagnosis of PCOS
