So Rebecca, it's been a while and I was taking the nap today and I woke up and I was still

0:04.6

kind of drowsy so I was looking through Reddit and I came across some subreddits that had

0:10.3

to do a therapy and some of the posts that were on there I thought well this would be interesting

0:15.3

to talk about and then it led me to think maybe we should always have a segment in which

0:18.7

we read different things on Reddit because I feel like the things that float to the top

0:23.0

of my feet are some pretty juicy things to get into what you say Rebecca.

0:26.7

Yeah and I just want to say I've missed everyone. I had COVID and then I had long COVID. Now

1:36.7

she's an addict but has been clean for some time as far as I knew. I understand her humanity

1:42.8

and respect that everyone has their demons but not everyone should be a therapist. I am so

1:48.5
