| 0:14.2 | So directionally challenged. We thought we'd have it all figured out by the time we were |
| 0:18.9 | in our 30s. But surprise, we don't. And that's okay. And how freeing is it to admit that |

| 1:48.8 | I went through everything with you. And for those who have yet to do that, will you give our listeners |
| 1:56.8 | a synopsis just a short synopsis of the book and take them through a little bit of your entire |
