| 0:00.0 | How do we tread that line? |
| 0:07.0 | You know, I think my generation of mothers, I'm really noticing, are becoming more and more empowered, |
| 0:13.5 | more and more aware of their worth and what they deserve. |
| 0:18.6 | How do you get that line right between lowering expectations and |
| 0:23.9 | embracing that disappointment? And then on the other side, saying, no, actually, I cannot handle |
| 0:31.1 | that this marriage now does not feel enough for me. It doesn't feel alive enough for me. |

| 1:28.7 | Sambacol immunity supplements are packed with natural black elderberries and vitamin C, which |
| 1:34.5 | contribute to the normal function of the immune system. And Sambacol supplements are available |
| 1:39.5 | in delicious formats, including liquids and gummies for both children and us the adults. Shop sambacal |
