0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.5	Hey guys, welcome back to We Met at Acme. Today we have a more serious and intense episode.
0:14.6	We're sitting down with Lauren Tadenbaum and she is a therapist and she's amazing and she's
0:22.9	also somebody who has been a victim of abuse and I don't want to say too much on it. I'm going to let her
0:30.9	speak about her own situation, which she will and definitely make sure to stay tuned to the end of
0:38.5	the episode because we get into the Johnny Depp Amber herd case and our thoughts on all of that.
0:45.4	I know a few of you had asked me to speak on it. My voice is a little nasally right now, not really
0:51.6	sure why don't have COVID have tested negative for over a week, but this is just what we're working
0:58.4	with right now. So a big topic that has come up a lot recently is relationship check-ins.
1:06.2	I mentioned that we have an episode on this with Sean Galanos and I highly recommend you listen

1:39.0	was not mentally super well. In fact, I'm probably not mentally super well right now when you're
1:45.9	listening to this, Mercury's retrograde. It's just a tougher time. It's a heavier time for some
1:52.8	reason. Can't explain why it just feels that way. I was just like not having a great week last week.
2:01.4	And my husband was thriving. He was a lot of really amazing things were happening at work for him.
2:10.2	And I was just not well. And I of course was trying to show up for him. And he was trying to show up
2:19.2	for me. But it was like that's a weird, that's a hard thing, right? And that happens a lot probably
2:25.5	in marriage and like in relationships too. And one person is doing really well in something. The other
2:30.2	person isn't feeling so good. And I actually asked a poll question that was about my own relationship
