0:07.5	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Pressman and today's episode is just us.
0:14.5	I love hearing from you. Please always keep in mind. It is so helpful to me when you subscribe,
0:21.3	rate, ideally with five stars, and write a little review. And please, if you're enjoying all of this
0:30.2	subscribe to my newsletter, Dr. Alisa.bulletin.com. And the newsletter is free,
