| 0:00.0 | So like I should before, I'm starting my conception journey, fingers crossed there. |
| 0:05.9 | But that's all just say that I don't know a lot about raising an infant, raising a baby, |
| 0:11.5 | being pregnant, the whole shebang. |
| 0:13.1 | The one thing I do know, and I've known for a while, is that Nanit is top tier. |
| 0:18.4 | That, like, you need a Nanit when you have an infant i texted my friend about nanit saying |
| 0:23.0 | hey they're one of a podcast sponsors i know you use it what do you think and she said she's absolutely |
| 0:26.6 | obsessed like she couldn't have done it without her nanette and i get it i get why nanit really does it all |
| 0:31.9 | you only need one thing which is nice especially when you're raising a kid there's so many things on your |
| 0:36.8 | brain it's nice to just have one thing that does it all. The Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System |
| 0:42.3 | tracks everything automatically with crystal clear HD video, breathing motion monitoring, |
| 0:48.2 | sleep tracking, real-time safety alerts, and personalized sleep insights in one seamless system. |

| 1:07.0 | friends have that balance. I can get 20% off the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System, including |
| 1:12.6 | the new 8-inch home display, plus you get a free travel case with code Bravo. Expectant listeners, |
| 1:19.9 | add Nanit to your baby registry on Amazon or Baby List. And if you have expecting or new parent |
| 1:26.2 | friends buy Nanit for them, they will be so grateful. When you're operating on a schedule dictated by back-to-back depositions, caffeine usually feels like a requirement for survival. But there is a very fine line between sharp and alert and my hands are shaking while I'm trying to handle a 200-page exhibit. I was stuck in that cycle of over-caffeinating. |
| 1:44.6 | It was wrecking my focus. So I finally decided to try mudwater, and it has completely shifted my |
| 1:49.6 | baseline. It's got functional mushrooms that everyone's talking about, but the actual experience |
| 1:53.9 | is just stability. Mudwater's new low-calf coffee still tastes like actual coffee, but without |
| 1:59.5 | the jitters. Real coffee taste and no spiraling |
