0:00.0	Welcome to Live Well, I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, and on this podcast, we focus on wellness, beauty, style, planning, and life.
0:18.0	Basically, life is messy, and here we learn to live well anyway. So join me on this
0:23.0	journey as we figure it out together. And just to get us started, I'll go first. And today, we are
0:28.1	actually featuring a conversation that I had on about a year ago with my massage therapist,
0:32.9	Hannah Thompson. Now, you may be wondering, why am I repeating this episode just a year later? Well,
0:39.0	there's a few reasons for it. First of all, I just got to see Hannah again this past week. A very
0:45.1	good friend of mine gifted me a massage with Hannah so I could get back in there because I've
0:49.6	been having all kinds of issues with my neck and different things for a good long time now. And so she so

1:31.1	actually going on with the fascia and the musculature and the lymphatic system of your body is so
1:38.3	profound. And the ability that massage has to be able to help us to detox and work things out of our muscles
1:45.5	that are even things that our muscles have held onto from trauma. And there's just so many things
1:52.0	that I think massage is helpful with. And I wanted to kind of bring that to the surface again,
1:58.5	reignite that conversation. Even I noticed that that day that I
2:03.1	had the massage, I was a little bit more emotional. And I could definitely feel things kind of
2:08.2	working themselves out in my body. And it reminded me of just how powerful getting in there and
2:15.1	needing those things and breaking that stuff up in our bodies can be.
