0:07.2	Hey everybody and welcome to RealPod.
0:09.6	I'm Victoria Garrick, former Dio and athlete and mental health and body amajabicant.
0:14.4	Every Wednesday I'll be bringing you awesome guests, weekly inspiration,
0:18.6	and the realest conversations around everything and anything. Now let's get real.
