0:00.0 | So I can honestly say that I really do love what I do. And after spending 10 years in a career |
0:04.7 | that I didn't really enjoy and I didn't even know that I didn't enjoy it, I was just kind of doing it. |
0:11.0 | And now 17, 18 years into a career as a therapist and a podcast host and doing some speaking and writing, |
