| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Kayla. I'm so happy you're able to join us today because we are all still |
| 0:13.6 | so directionally challenged. We thought we'd have it all figured out by the time we were |
| 0:18.4 | in our 30s, but surprise, we don't, and that's okay. It really is okay. And today I am sitting |
| 0:25.8 | down with someone who I am so excited to share with you. Her name is Nezwa Zabian, and she has had a |
| 0:33.5 | unique journey breaking out of the mold that society and culture suffocated her with. She has |
| 0:38.9 | been an inspiration to millions worldwide, a trailblazing voice for women, many of which have chosen |
| 0:45.1 | to tattoo her words on their bodies. Her ability to articulate soul deep feelings is what sets her |
| 0:51.6 | apart from the rest of the world. Through her five books, her podcasts and her own digital school, |

| 1:40.1 | beyond what you see, a story that is soul deep, and there are lessons to be learned from all of our |
| 1:44.6 | stories. And you have been such a trailblazing voice for women for so many years. Many of us |
| 1:51.0 | already know your story, myself included, but for those that are listening that have yet to hear it, |
| 1:55.8 | can I take you back to what brought you to write Mind Platter? Your very first collection of poetry |
| 2:02.6 | and prose back in 2016. I mean, this was your journal. This was your experience living in silence, |
| 2:08.5 | your experience of having fate push you to a place that you didn't feel you belonged. And you |
