| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Going Scared Podcast. This is your host Jessica Hanagher, |
| 0:04.4 | founder of the Social Impact Fashion brand new day collection. Join me here every week for |
| 0:10.2 | conversations on living lives of purpose by leaving comfort and going scared. While this week, |
| 0:18.0 | we have such an interesting interview because she has a very interesting story. |
| 0:24.5 | Tozon Hendricks, she is a globally recognized social influencer. She co-hosts the Goodly |
| 0:30.0 | Podcast, with her husband Steve. I've actually been on their show. It has 12 million downloads, |
| 0:37.2 | and on that podcast, they aim to warm hearts, inspire minds, and captivate listeners through |
| 0:41.6 | intimate stories and powerful conversations with people who are making an impact. |

| 0:54.0 | a Kurdish American, she has really gone against the grain by marrying a white guy. She really |

| 1:40.6 | Thank you. I am so happy to be here. And man, it feels good to be back in Texas. I'm so glad we're |
| 1:48.0 | here now full time. It feels good. I wanted to hear a little bit about it because I know that the |
| 1:53.1 | pandemic has brought a change of pace to all of our lives, but moving from LA to Austin, obviously, |
| 1:59.2 | that would have been a change anyway. And I wanted to hear what you're learning about yourself, |
| 2:04.4 | both from the pandemic. But I don't know, have you been able to separate what you've learned just |
| 2:08.8 | because of the move versus the pandemic? Because didn't they sort of happen almost at the same time? |
| 2:14.3 | Yes, it's crazy because it's almost like the past year and a half has been a little bit of a blur |
| 2:21.6 | and going back like this morning, I was actually thinking about it. I thought, man, |
