| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Mechley. Welcome back. I welcome you to day three of our series. |
| 0:15.0 | This week we're exploring a theme we can all relate to. |
| 0:20.0 | And that is how to manage stress during the holidays. |
| 0:25.0 | So if you've already celebrated your holidays or maybe you're celebrating upcoming holidays, |
