0:16.0	Hello, lovely listeners. Today I am going to be going and having a wonderful conversation with Kelly.
0:22.9	She was involved in the last workshop from sabotage to success. And I love how everyone who came to this
0:30.2	workshop all had different things that their mind was contending with. Kelly shares a lot about how
0:36.9	she was kind of spearheading a volunteer effort
0:39.7	with a sporting group and how she had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders and some of the

1:46.7	And that's the thing I want. I want people not to suffer so much. I want you to have a little
1:51.1	bit more peace, a little bit more understanding of why the mind is doing what the mind is doing
1:56.6	and how really it's not personal. It's not really about Kelly. It's not really about Eleanor. It's not about Monica.
2:02.5	We all have it. It kind of all talks to us the same way. Granted, parts of the stories are slightly
