0:00.0	Hello, my friends. Welcome to the podcast. I am Kory Allen, and as always, I hope that you're doing
0:08.8	well, and you're feeling good today, and that everything is going right in your life.
0:18.2	Today on the show, I want to talk about stillness. Stillness is one of those things that you see a lot
0:28.2	about online in terms of general mental health, wellness, a method for releasing, letting go,
0:40.8	but commonly there's not a lot of articulation as to what stillness is and why it's really viable.
0:51.1	Now a word from our sponsor better help. It's so important to take care of your mind,
