| 0:03.8 | Delin. It is August 29th, 2023. And today we are going to be covering the topic of number |
| 0:12.0 | one as a Mormon girl and young woman and woman, sort of the perils of ignoring your own |
| 0:18.8 | inner voice. And I guess I'd say the upside of learning to listen to your own inner voice, |
| 0:24.4 | that's going to be a major theme. And a second theme for today is going to be parenting after |
| 0:32.4 | a Mormon mixed faith divorce. So, you know, you lose your faith, your partner still a believer, |

| 1:46.9 | Yes. So it came up originally because I was visiting my mom, who's a good friend of Carolyn's, |
