| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, little disclaimer. So life happens, you know, we're all moms, even our guest is a mom. |
| 0:06.2 | So yeah, we're gonna, you're gonna hear some of our kids in the background. That's gonna happen. |
| 0:10.5 | And oh, you want to hear a thunderstorm? Yep, that joins us on this episode too. And Kayla, |
| 0:14.8 | did you mention light drilling? I think there were some light drilling in the background as well, |
| 0:18.3 | but you know what? It doesn't even matter. The subject matter of this episode is so important, |
| 0:23.1 | and we are so excited to share it with you. Hey guys, it's Candice and Kayla and we are |
| 0:38.6 | directionally challenged. We thought we would have it all figured out by the time we were in our |
| 0:43.9 | 30s. But surprise, we don't. No, we don't. We don't. But we are sitting down with someone who's |

| 1:33.3 | an influential advocacy and education nonprofit run and powered by passionate volunteers across |
| 1:40.0 | the country. And we feel incredibly passionate about educating ourselves not only as women, |
| 1:46.6 | but as mothers, as friends, as partners, as humans in the world. And we are so grateful that |
| 1:53.1 | Meredith Berkman is joining us again to continue this conversation. So without further ado, |
| 1:57.2 | here is part two with Meredith Berkman of Pave. A lot of young people who started puffing jewels |
| 2:06.8 | thought this isn't really smoking. Like no one right think understood what, you know, if you see |
| 2:11.6 | five percent on a jewel pod and you're not a smoker, you don't understand nicotine, you don't |
