0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. We've all heard how important it is to live in the moment. But a lot of us know that that's a lot easier said than done.
0:22.2	We also know we should try to do it, but we don't even know where to begin.
0:26.3	So what do we need to know about meditation and mindfulness?
0:29.5	We'll explore that question on this episode as we talk with our guest, Rebecca Pachico.

1:36.1	and then I changed the title to still life. And when I thought of it, I knew that that was the right decision, despite the fact that I'd just written several chapters of a book that

1:47.7	I know that you're a mom of Laura.
1:50.8	I'm unsure if you have children, but any mom can relate to this.
1:55.0	I was sitting with my husband and the house was a disaster.
