0:00.0	Hey, awesomes, it's Meg and we do have a brand new episode in our midlife with Mindy and
0:06.1	Meg series for you today before we get into the episode.
0:10.6	I have Mindy here with me and Mindy, you have put together a truly awesome survey that
0:17.5	speaks to all of these issues of midlife that we've been discussing.
0:20.6	Tell us a little bit about it and where the awesomes can find it.
