| 0:00.0 | The gift of being in silence and the gift of my nervous system, |
| 0:03.8 | kind of ringing alarm bells in giving me that speech impediment, |
| 0:07.8 | was forcing me to realize and recognize what is it that matters to me. |
| 0:13.5 | Because when I speak about what matters to me, the impediment falls away. |
| 0:22.6 | Welcome to Impact the World and welcome to today's conversation with Radica Vicaria. |
| 0:29.6 | I loved this conversation with Radica and her recent album, Warriors of Light, was Grammy nominated in the Best New Age album category. |
