| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all and welcome to the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast where I encourage you in healthy mind, |
| 0:06.1 | body, and spirit through my Sunday reset. Let's get into it. |
| 0:14.3 | Today on the Healthy by Heather Brown show, we've got a powerhouse mama in the house, Abby |
| 0:19.4 | Halversad. And y'all, you have been asking for her from the beginning of my show, like two years ago. |
| 0:25.5 | And she's finally here today. |
| 0:27.1 | You might know her as M is for Mama on Instagram, where over 200,000 women tune in for her real talk encouragement. |
| 0:34.7 | She's a homeschooling mom of 10 kids. |
| 0:37.4 | Yep, you heard that right, |
| 0:38.7 | 10, a certified fitness instructor and the bestselling author of M is for Mama and Hard is |

| 1:12.5 | but tell everybody a little bit just about you, what it's like to have so many kids, like |
| 1:17.3 | homeschooling, all of them. Like, just tell us a little bit about, like, in a 60-second snapshot, |
| 1:22.6 | who is the real Abby? Oh, goodness. 60 seconds. Well, the real Abby doesn't do anything in 60 seconds, so you should |
| 1:29.1 | probably know that. 60 seconds ends up being five minutes really, really fast. I mean, |
| 1:34.8 | the real Abby is pretty reflective of what I try to show online because I'm trying to be real |
| 1:42.7 | everywhere, but it's impossible |
