| 0:00.0 | So Bob, as you might suspect, I have a lot of emails that people have sent in that we can answer. What do you say? |
| 0:05.6 | I say let's answer these emails that I might expect. |
| 0:09.8 | And I'm a solicitor, she says, this is going to sound weird, but I had a dream of you validating me. |
| 0:16.1 | It's because you have been more validating to me than some therapists I've had. |
| 0:20.8 | That's nice. |

| 1:15.2 | And they hear me coaching. That's about as high a compliment as one is ever going to get. |
| 1:21.0 | Right. So it's lovely that this person hears you. |

| 1:29.6 | And I have that experience with people that I've interjected. |
| 1:37.5 | And people will sometimes feel embarrassed, right? |
