0:00.0	All right, Christine, I have, I'm going to get straight into it.
0:02.4	Okay.
0:04.7	I have some questions down.
0:07.1	And the very first question I'm going to ask you is, how did your divorce shift your
0:11.4	understanding of truth telling, breaking generational cycles, and learning to walk away?
0:19.1	And why is breaking the cycle so important? And specifically from breaking
0:24.2	the cycle, the financial cycle as well. Yeah. So my divorce taught me a lot about myself and about my own
