| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Empowered Couples podcast. |
| 0:02.9 | You're going to be having a chat with just me, Jocelyn Freeman, tonight, representing Team Freeman's. |
| 0:07.7 | And today we're going to talk about those times in life and in your relationship when it feels like a lot of challenges are happening at once. |
| 0:16.6 | And isn't it like that in life sometimes? |
| 0:18.5 | You're not just hit with one challenge at a time. |
| 0:21.1 | Sometimes it's three, it's five, it's eight things happening at once. It could be in your health. |
| 0:26.4 | It could be something with your child. It could be something in another family relationship. |

| 1:44.9 | you actually get pulled down faster. I checked that. I had to look it up. And we can do that in life. |
| 1:50.4 | We can fight it. No, no, I don't want this. Why is this? Why is this happening to me? And we can |
