| 0:00.0 | Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole, |
| 0:10.2 | and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom |
| 0:15.6 | or something like that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital |
| 0:23.3 | space together. All right, everyone, welcome back. We are doing an on-location podcast, |
| 0:32.7 | Club Med Mishis in Dominican Republic. This is my first time back in Dominican in about 20 years. |
