Here at LifeKit, we are all about the takeaways.

So before you even start this episode, we have two takeaways to help you

support public radio. So our first takeaway, Life Kit and other NPR shows are always free to listen to,

but they take money to make. If you like the tips Life Kit brings you, please donate to your

local public radio station. By donating, you're not just supporting

Life Kit, but also all NPR programming and the local journalism in your community. Our second

takeaway you can give right now at donate.npr.npr.org slash LifeKit. We're so excited to bring you

new episodes next year. In January, we're going to have episodes

all about how to start healthy habits, like how to start a creative practice and therapy.

And we'll also have episodes on how to quit smoking, how to drink less, even how to quit your job.

So again, to give, visit donate.npr.org slash life kit. And thanks. Okay, on to the episode.

Nine.
