0:06.1	I love hearing your incredible Iways and I love sharing them at the end of this podcast
0:09.5	as an encouragement really to all of our listeners and I would love to hear from more of you.
0:13.7	If you are comfortable with sharing your Iway with me and the rest of the Iway community
0:17.6	then you can leave a voicemail or a text at 818-660-5543 or you can email us your Iway at
0:25.5	podcast at gmail.com. I really love getting them. They make my day. We have wonderful
0:31.4	ones like this. Iway, the three humans that I'm helping to raise as good people who will make

1:29.9	rich school and I, there must be some part of me that I hate that goes, we get posh when I feel
1:36.8	like it's protective of myself and like I want to show someone that I'm smart, such a shit side
1:41.4	of myself. Hate it so much, so mad at myself, I will work to change it. At least I identified it
