| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a deer media production. |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Lisa Pressman and I am so thrilled to be able to offer |
| 0:12.9 | my new exclusive content premium subscription with Apple Podcasts. Go right to it and subscribe. |
| 0:22.2 | It's $2.99 a month less than a cup of coffee and I think you'll find that it's really helpful |
| 0:29.1 | stuff. It's from feedback from all of you and I have really targeted topics that we could |
| 0:35.7 | dive into. So check it out and of course if you enjoy any of the episodes please don't forget |
