| 0:00.0 | Emily and Jennifer, thank you so much for both being on my podcast. I cannot wait to dive into so many |
| 0:05.6 | different topics with you guys. I think this episode's going to be so much fun. I also, |
| 0:09.8 | I haven't had two people on at once in a while. So I feel like this is going to be really fun. |
| 0:14.2 | You know what? I feel like everyone gets very nervous when they have both of us on because it's like, well, who talks it once? And I'm like, no, no, we do this literally all the time. So we're very good at it. But my name is Emily Beirley. I'm a licensed |
| 0:26.6 | marriage and family therapist and a sex therapist and Jennifer and I are co-hosts of the |
| 0:31.4 | String Chains Podcast. And we own a wonderful organization called the Therapy Group. We have about 45 |
| 0:36.5 | different clinicians in |
| 0:37.7 | different states. And basically what we're all about is down to earth therapy. So one of the |
| 0:44.4 | things that happened for us, you'd go into me with these therapists and then they'd use a bunch |

| 1:04.5 | and see a therapist dancing talking about some great things to do. I want anything that is |
| 1:10.5 | accessible mental health is what we believe in. |
| 1:13.0 | I love that so much. And that's, I like that you brought up that point because I could picture |
| 1:16.0 | the exact TikTok they're talking about when they like do that. It's like, we'll do like a pregnancy |
| 1:19.2 | announcement to it and like update. But I love that so much because it is such a great way to get |
| 1:24.2 | the tools to people that actually need it. And it's like playing on their turf. |
| 1:29.4 | Now, I'm really, really intrigued how you guys, was the idea completely because you wanted to |
| 1:35.4 | basically feel or help people find people that understood them? Like, that's how it all originated |
| 1:40.1 | and it became this today. Yeah. So we met in grad school. |
| 1:44.9 | And we were being taught by a lot of older white men. |
