| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. I want you all to take advantage of the incredible interest rates that a |
| 0:05.7 | Lyon Credit Union is currently offering 4.5% for a three-month certificate, 4.75% for a six-month |
| 0:15.2 | certificate. But best of all, in my opinion, is 5% for a one-year certificate of deposit. |
| 0:24.4 | You can also purchase these in a retirement account. So go to myeliantaliant.com, |

| 0:42.6 | As we get ready for season two of our podcast, we wanted to share some of the best episodes from |
| 0:47.2 | season one. We hope you enjoy listening. The other day I had the great good fortune to be able to sit |
| 0:56.8 | down one on one with seven women who survived abusive relationships. And what was so fascinating to |
| 1:06.0 | me about these interviews that went on for about 45 minutes to one hour each was that almost every |
| 1:13.0 | single one of these women got into an abusive relationship the exact same way. They all started |

| 1:40.1 | First thing that started to happen to each one of these women is that the man she was living with |
| 1:46.1 | started to cut her off from all of her friends as well as her family. He did not want her to have |
| 1:53.2 | any contact with them whatsoever. So she really had nobody that she could talk to about what was |
| 2:00.6 | going on in her life. And what was so really amazing to me is that they were able to recognize |
| 2:09.2 | physical abuse. Oh, they were able to recognize emotional and verbal abuse and psychological abuse. |
| 2:18.4 | But none of them were able to recognize that they were also all in a financially abusive |
| 2:28.0 | relationship. And I have to tell you, I was shocked at that. Now, these women were listening to each |
| 2:34.8 | of them being interviewed by me. And one by one during these sessions, they all started to realize |
| 2:43.2 | that, oh my God, I was also financially abused. And when I say financially abused, here's what I |
