0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome back to Badon Paper Podcast. I am newly published author, Becca Freeman.
0:24.4	And I'm Olivia Mentor. We are recording this on the actual publication day of my book on September
0:30.7	26th. So the reactions are fresh. It's a big day, a real full circle moment, real full circle,
0:38.7	and you get to live it with us. Yes, I'm so glad that everyone is here with us enjoying this.
0:43.6	A little bit on a delayed schedule, but happy to be here. Olivia, what's your high?
0:50.2	I was going to ask you what's your high. I feel like you have to start because I mean this is
0:55.7	a big day in your life, an unforgettable day. Okay, I will accept that. My high is that my book
1:04.8	is out. It feels like a long time in the making. So I'm thrilled. I just feel so excited and loved

1:52.2	getting ready to go do my book events. And I have eight friends from out of town who are coming

2:05.4	heart is emoji. It's so cool. It's going to be so awesome. Oh, I'm so happy. And for our listeners,
2:12.6	if you were not able to get tickets to an IRL event, we do have one virtual event with my co-host
2:22.4	being one Miss Olivia mentor. Yeah, that'll be me. And so it's tomorrow when the podcast comes out
2:30.5	Thursday, October 5th. And so we'll share on Instagram how you can sign up for that. It's free.
2:36.4	So you can join us for that. I want it to be weird. Yes, please join us. It'll probably be
