0:00.0	Hey, everybody, and take a seat on the virtual couch.
0:21.8	Hey, everybody, welcome to episode 296 of the virtual couch.
0:25.3	I am your host, Tony Overbay.
0:26.5	I'm a licensed marriage and family therapists and certified mindful habit coach and all those wonderful things.
0:30.3	And with me in studio today is your friend in mine, Nate Christensen.
0:34.6	Nate, welcome back to the virtual couch.
0:36.4	Thank you very much.
0:37.2	I appreciate the opportunity to be here again. Thank you very much. I appreciate
