| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another edition of Hank Unplug, the podcast that is committed to bringing the most interesting, informative, inspirational people to your earbuds. |
| 0:33.3 | And today, as always, is no exception. |
| 0:37.8 | Before I introduced my guest, let me say that if you found the last year to be a challenger, certainly not alone, there are millions of people around the world who would say that the past year has been one of the most brutal years of their entire lives. |
| 0:57.5 | There's so much to consider here. |
| 0:59.4 | I mean, the nonstop news of COVID-19. |
| 1:02.6 | I read three newspapers every morning and every page seems to be consumed with COVID-19. |

| 2:30.6 | insights into how to find a personal renewal in the midst of challenging times from a priest |
| 2:38.7 | and from a psychologist. |
| 2:41.3 | And the priest I'm talking about is Father Nicholas. |
| 2:46.5 | The psychologist is a psychologist by the name of Roxanne. |
| 2:54.1 | And they represent a marriage of two different worlds, two different fields of study. |
| 2:57.8 | For nearly 20 years, they've been casting practical life strategies for people, and all with |
