0:00.0	Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
0:10.3	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches, change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what
0:22.2	motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage, motivate and
0:28.9	inspire, so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal and professional
0:33.9	goals.
0:39.8	Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast.
0:44.1	Today I am joined by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Knight.

1:50.0	I'm sure that kind of cuts through the noise, what we see that it has with the three million copies sold.
1:55.0	I mean, firstly, what is that like as an author with your first book to know that your book is being, you know,
2:01.5	it's translated into lots of languages, it's around the world, and to have sold that many copies?
