0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome to Level Up with Debbie Neal. I am your host. There is nowhere. I would rather be
0:09.9	than right here, right now with you. This podcast is all about leveling up in all aspects of our lives.
0:17.2	Thank you for being here. I am so grateful. I'm excited to be on this journey with you. Together,
0:23.0	we are leveling up. You ready? Hello, my friends. Welcome to another episode of Level Up with
0:35.2	Debbie Neal. As always, I am so grateful that you're here.
0:39.5	So today's episode, I feel like I always say this.
0:41.4	Today's episode is going to stretch us.

1:46.4	sky. But you know where the strength is built? It's built in the valleys. It's built in the
