| 0:00.0 | Hello there, this is Kimberly Wilson of Tranquility DeGure, bringing you |
| 0:09.9 | tranquility since 2005. |
| 0:13.8 | Tranquility DeJure is a series of nourishing conversations about living a full and meaningful |
| 0:18.8 | life with doses of tranquility. |
| 0:22.5 | I hope your 2020 is off to a smooth start. |
| 0:26.4 | We are just barely into the new year, and, you know, the data shows that most New Year's |
| 0:31.8 | resolutions begin to fade around January 12th, and that 60% of people make resolutions and 8% actually bring them to |
| 0:41.7 | fruition. |
| 0:43.0 | Now, I talk a bit about this in the TDJ Live that happened last Sunday, January the 5th, |

| 1:53.7 | Now in this week's edition of Tranquility DeJure, I chat with a dear soul, La Sarmriento, |
| 2:00.0 | about their challenges and lessons as a trans person |
