0:00.0	You're listening to episode 133. Welcome back to the show or welcome to the new
0:07.4	listeners out there. This is the Journey to Manifesting Podcast and my name is
0:12.3	Sarah Proust. I'm also considering changing the name of
0:16.2	the show to the Sarah Proust podcast. So what do you think? Should I leave it the same or should I walk into a new phase where I rebrand and
0:25.9	rename the show? I'd love to hear your thoughts so you can drop me a DM over on
0:30.2	Instagram. I am at Sarah Proust. I would love to hear from you. Okay, let the topic of today's show is quite a gutsy one.

2:32.0	What is the worst? And I'm sure you can relate to this is when someone tries to jump in with a solution rather than supporting you and holding space for you in that moment. And that, you know what, it's like the difference
