0:00.0	Hello and welcome to best laid plans.
0:11.5	This is your host, Sarah Hard Unger, and this is a podcast where we talk all things
0:15.2	planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.5	Today's episode is a really fun guest episode that I've had on deck for a while. I haven't featured
0:24.1	a lot of like planner founders recently and that hasn't really been by design, but I was super
0:30.1	excited to chat with Michelle, who is one of the creators and founders of the line Bloom Planners.

1:29.1	I'm so excited.
1:32.9	I am here with Michelle from Bloom Daily Planners.
1:34.0	I'm so excited.
1:39.3	Their company contacted me and I had had my eye on them for quite some time.
1:43.6	And I'm just super excited to get to know them a little bit better and introduce them to all of you.
