72 | Is it possible to sustain yourself with a clinical practice?
Welcome to this episode of "In the Clinic with Camille," hosted by Camille Freeman, a clinical herbalist and licensed nutritionist. In this episode, Camille addresses question from Katie about the feasibility of supporting oneself solely through a clinical practice.
Camille explores the realities of establishing a sustainable clinical practice, emphasizing that it often takes at least two to three years to achieve financial stability. She discusses the importance of having realistic expectations, the necessity of additional income streams, and the emotional and psychological demands of a full-time practice.
Additionally, Camille shares insights on the unique challenges faced by herbalists, including educating the public about the role of herbalists. She recommends essential reading materials, including "Heart-Centered Business" by Mark Silver and "Radical Healership" by Laura Mae Northrup, to support practitioners in their journey.

Camille's Helpful Links for Practitioners
Transcript
1
00:00:00,557 --> 00:00:03,457
Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
2
00:00:03,597 --> 00:00:07,377
I am a clinical herbalist and licensed nutritionist. And in this podcast,
3
00:00:07,537 --> 00:00:10,877
I share little tips and tidbits that may be helpful for other practitioners.
4
00:00:11,857 --> 00:00:15,837
Well, hello. Welcome back. Thank you for being here today.
5
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:21,077
I have a question that Katie sent me and I wanted to share it with everybody
6
00:00:21,077 --> 00:00:24,137
because I think other people might have the same question. then.
7
00:00:24,237 --> 00:00:28,657
So the question Katie sent in was, if it's possible to support yourself with
8
00:00:28,657 --> 00:00:31,177
a clinical practice or if you need to wear other hats.
9
00:00:31,797 --> 00:00:36,377
Let me share my perspective on this. It is possible to support yourself with
10
00:00:36,377 --> 00:00:39,517
a clinical practice and there are some really big caveats.
11
00:00:39,797 --> 00:00:45,177
The first thing that I want to tell you about this is that most people need
12
00:00:45,177 --> 00:00:50,177
at least two or three years in order to fully support themselves with their practice, if not more.
13
00:00:50,757 --> 00:00:56,677
Okay, so is it possible? Yes. Does it take a long time to get there? Also, yes.
14
00:00:57,177 --> 00:01:00,577
If you have a bunch of other things going on, and you only have a few hours
15
00:01:00,577 --> 00:01:04,577
a week to dedicate to your clinical practice, it's going to take longer to build
16
00:01:04,577 --> 00:01:09,897
it to where it is a sustainable and supportive part of your income. Okay.
17
00:01:10,497 --> 00:01:15,877
Mark Mark Silver, in his book, Heart-Centered Business, talks about your practice
18
00:01:15,877 --> 00:01:18,077
or your business as a child.
19
00:01:19,006 --> 00:01:22,986
In its first few years. And of course, it is not reasonable to expect a child
20
00:01:22,986 --> 00:01:25,266
to financially support the entire family.
21
00:01:25,446 --> 00:01:29,046
And when you are expecting a brand new business to financially support you right
22
00:01:29,046 --> 00:01:33,886
away, that's an unrealistic expectation as well. So I think that's a really helpful metaphor.
23
00:01:34,646 --> 00:01:39,346
Now, there are exceptions. I'm not saying that it's impossible for people to
24
00:01:39,346 --> 00:01:43,426
go right out of the gate out of a training program or a degree program or whatever
25
00:01:43,426 --> 00:01:47,466
it is, and start supporting themselves within a year. What I am saying is it's unlikely.
26
00:01:48,086 --> 00:01:52,526
If you have lots of time, very few caregiving responsibilities,
27
00:01:52,806 --> 00:01:58,106
if you have a spouse or a partner who supports you, you may have more time to
28
00:01:58,106 --> 00:02:00,366
devote to this, and that might speed up the process a little bit.
29
00:02:00,846 --> 00:02:06,346
If you are a naturally outgoing person, and or if you have a really large network,
30
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:11,526
either online or large community where you live, work, etc.,
31
00:02:11,526 --> 00:02:14,186
then you may have a little bit of a jump start.
32
00:02:14,526 --> 00:02:17,866
If you're okay talking about what you do, if you do a really great job connecting
33
00:02:17,866 --> 00:02:20,506
with people, you can speed this whole thing up a little bit.
34
00:02:20,906 --> 00:02:25,226
However, most of us really have to learn the ins and outs of clinical practice,
35
00:02:25,386 --> 00:02:29,226
and we do it by trial and error, which means it takes a long time.
36
00:02:29,586 --> 00:02:33,626
And the harder it is for you to put yourself out there, the longer it takes
37
00:02:33,626 --> 00:02:37,646
to do the work of helping people see what you do, helping people know what you
38
00:02:37,646 --> 00:02:43,246
do, helping them feel comfortable with you, and being there when people are looking for you.
39
00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:46,206
That's just something that takes several years for many of us.
40
00:02:46,406 --> 00:02:50,366
So I don't, I'm not trying to discourage people by saying this,
41
00:02:50,426 --> 00:02:52,006
and I hope you're not hearing it that way.
42
00:02:52,126 --> 00:02:56,046
But when you understand, when you have a realistic understanding of the time
43
00:02:56,046 --> 00:03:00,826
that you can expect to gear up towards a clinical practice, then you can plan for it.
44
00:03:00,906 --> 00:03:05,946
You can say, okay, knowing this, what am I going to do to provide income and
45
00:03:05,946 --> 00:03:07,346
support in the meantime?
46
00:03:07,646 --> 00:03:10,006
And we all have different ways of piecing that together. other.
47
00:03:10,086 --> 00:03:13,186
So that's one caveat that I wanted to tell you.
48
00:03:13,406 --> 00:03:18,146
The other caveat is that a full-time clinical practice.
49
00:03:19,097 --> 00:03:24,677
Even if you have the marketing savvy and you learn how to do it and go out there
50
00:03:24,677 --> 00:03:27,877
and your community loves you and you're there and you're supporting people and
51
00:03:27,877 --> 00:03:33,777
you're seeing people, a full-time clinical practice is extremely hard for other reasons as well.
52
00:03:33,877 --> 00:03:37,937
It's not just the effort that it takes to bring in the client.
53
00:03:38,077 --> 00:03:44,937
It is also the energetic, mental, psychological effort that goes into seeing
54
00:03:44,937 --> 00:03:49,337
people that sometimes means a full-time clinical practice is not realistic.
55
00:03:49,717 --> 00:03:51,257
It depends on your capacity.
56
00:03:51,657 --> 00:03:55,637
It depends on, you know, what kind of supports you have in place.
57
00:03:55,717 --> 00:03:59,017
It depends on how much time you have, your restorative practices,
58
00:03:59,177 --> 00:04:00,917
all of these types of things come into play.
59
00:04:01,137 --> 00:04:05,877
But a lot of clinicians actually limit the number of clients they see,
60
00:04:05,897 --> 00:04:09,817
not because they can't see more, they can't find more clients to come and fill
61
00:04:09,817 --> 00:04:12,057
those spots, but because emotionally,
62
00:04:12,557 --> 00:04:16,957
physically, or for other reasons, they really just don't feel prepare to take
63
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,137
on more clients than that.
64
00:04:18,337 --> 00:04:22,137
And so for that reason, many people like to supplement their clinical income
65
00:04:22,137 --> 00:04:28,637
with other activities, teaching, making herbal remedies, leading herb walks, the types of things.
66
00:04:29,177 --> 00:04:33,017
Okay. The other thing I will say is that if you are listening and you're an
67
00:04:33,017 --> 00:04:37,117
herbalist, there is an extra challenge, which is that people,
68
00:04:37,357 --> 00:04:43,697
many people in our communities don't have a pre-existing framework for what an herbalist is.
69
00:04:43,837 --> 00:04:47,197
So they don't know to look for you when you could be helpful.
70
00:04:47,477 --> 00:04:49,017
So if you're a nutritionist or
71
00:04:49,017 --> 00:04:54,037
a health coach or trainer or something like that, people have a concept.
72
00:04:54,097 --> 00:04:59,957
They know, oh, okay, I need a nutritionist because I think I'm having problems with dairy or whatever.
73
00:05:00,157 --> 00:05:03,197
I have a weird relationship with food. I think a nutritionist would be helpful.
74
00:05:03,777 --> 00:05:07,037
With an herbalist, they don't really know to Google herbalist.
75
00:05:07,157 --> 00:05:08,637
So there is that added benefit.
76
00:05:09,816 --> 00:05:14,276
That added work to do on your end, you not only have to help let people know,
77
00:05:14,336 --> 00:05:15,896
oh, here's what I personally do.
78
00:05:16,196 --> 00:05:19,276
And here's when you might want to work with me, you have to let people know
79
00:05:19,276 --> 00:05:21,456
what an herbalist is, in general.
80
00:05:21,616 --> 00:05:26,896
And so that is another thing that kind of extends the runway for people who
81
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:30,076
are in the herbal field versus those of you listening who are nutritionists,
82
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:37,016
or who have another modality that already exists in people's consciousness in some way.
83
00:05:37,396 --> 00:05:41,816
So some communities may have lots of herbalists and that it may be a more common thing.
84
00:05:41,916 --> 00:05:45,556
But for many places, there just isn't that concept.
85
00:05:45,736 --> 00:05:50,356
And so there is the underlying education that goes into things before people
86
00:05:50,356 --> 00:05:53,036
will even consider coming to work with you specifically.
87
00:05:53,516 --> 00:06:00,736
Okay. So I, again, my intention here is not to dissuade anybody from pursuing a clinical path.
88
00:06:01,156 --> 00:06:07,596
And I really, I really want you to go into it with your eyes open if you decide to do this work.
89
00:06:07,836 --> 00:06:12,416
If this is your calling and you feel like you have a lot to offer here,
90
00:06:12,556 --> 00:06:17,436
then think really carefully about how you can make this sustainable and supportive
91
00:06:17,436 --> 00:06:22,016
as you build up your practice to where it is sustaining and supporting you.
92
00:06:22,356 --> 00:06:26,576
The last thing I will say before I wrap up here is that I've already mentioned
93
00:06:26,576 --> 00:06:28,116
Mark Silver's book, Heart-Centered Business,
94
00:06:28,416 --> 00:06:32,576
which I highly recommend you read if you are in the process of thinking about
95
00:06:32,576 --> 00:06:37,436
this path or in the early stages of pursuing clinical practice and in a way
96
00:06:37,436 --> 00:06:38,136
that supports yourself.
97
00:06:38,416 --> 00:06:42,476
And the other book that I highly recommend you check out is called Radical Healership
98
00:06:42,476 --> 00:06:47,176
by Laura Mae Northrup, who also goes into some of the.
99
00:06:48,056 --> 00:06:52,596
Mental, emotional issues that come up when we start to do this visibility work
100
00:06:52,596 --> 00:06:56,476
and think about what it means to support ourselves, what it means to ask for
101
00:06:56,476 --> 00:07:02,496
support from our clients in a way that is reciprocal and sustainable for both people.
102
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:05,856
So I highly recommend checking out those two books if you haven't already.
103
00:07:06,456 --> 00:07:09,896
And Katie, I hope this is helpful for everybody who's listening.
104
00:07:09,976 --> 00:07:11,396
I hope it was helpful for you as well.
105
00:07:11,896 --> 00:07:15,576
Best of luck as you do this work. If you need support along the way,
106
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:20,256
that is very specifically why I created the Monday Mentoring Community of Practice
107
00:07:20,256 --> 00:07:22,156
because these things are hard.
108
00:07:22,196 --> 00:07:26,276
It's easy to get lost in the weeds when you're trying to do this work and it
109
00:07:26,276 --> 00:07:27,156
feels like nothing's working,
110
00:07:27,356 --> 00:07:31,696
be around other people who can give you the outside perspective that you need
111
00:07:31,696 --> 00:07:36,336
to get through those hard things so that you can grow as a practitioner and
112
00:07:36,336 --> 00:07:39,296
keep doing the work that you really want to do to support your community.
113
00:07:39,656 --> 00:07:43,496
Right. So you can find out more about Monday Mentoring at camillefreeman.com

slash mondaymentoring.
115
00:07:45,016 --> 00:07:49,356
And the last thing I'll say is that I have a new podcast page,
116
00:07:49,616 --> 00:07:51,836

Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
2
00:00:03,597 --> 00:00:07,377
I am a clinical herbalist and licensed nutritionist. And in this podcast,
3
00:00:07,537 --> 00:00:10,877
I share little tips and tidbits that may be helpful for other practitioners.
4
00:00:11,857 --> 00:00:15,837
Well, hello. Welcome back. Thank you for being here today.
5
00:00:16,417 --> 00:00:21,077
I have a question that Katie sent me and I wanted to share it with everybody
6
00:00:21,077 --> 00:00:24,137
because I think other people might have the same question. then.
7
00:00:24,237 --> 00:00:28,657
So the question Katie sent in was, if it's possible to support yourself with
8
00:00:28,657 --> 00:00:31,177
a clinical practice or if you need to wear other hats.
9
00:00:31,797 --> 00:00:36,377
Let me share my perspective on this. It is possible to support yourself with
10
00:00:36,377 --> 00:00:39,517
a clinical practice and there are some really big caveats.
11
00:00:39,797 --> 00:00:45,177
The first thing that I want to tell you about this is that most people need
12
00:00:45,177 --> 00:00:50,177
at least two or three years in order to fully support themselves with their practice, if not more.
13
00:00:50,757 --> 00:00:56,677
Okay, so is it possible? Yes. Does it take a long time to get there? Also, yes.
14
00:00:57,177 --> 00:01:00,577
If you have a bunch of other things going on, and you only have a few hours
15
00:01:00,577 --> 00:01:04,577
a week to dedicate to your clinical practice, it's going to take longer to build
16
00:01:04,577 --> 00:01:09,897
it to where it is a sustainable and supportive part of your income. Okay.
17
00:01:10,497 --> 00:01:15,877
Mark Mark Silver, in his book, Heart-Centered Business, talks about your practice
18
00:01:15,877 --> 00:01:18,077
or your business as a child.
19
00:01:19,006 --> 00:01:22,986
In its first few years. And of course, it is not reasonable to expect a child
20
00:01:22,986 --> 00:01:25,266
to financially support the entire family.
21
00:01:25,446 --> 00:01:29,046
And when you are expecting a brand new business to financially support you right
22
00:01:29,046 --> 00:01:33,886
away, that's an unrealistic expectation as well. So I think that's a really helpful metaphor.
23
00:01:34,646 --> 00:01:39,346
Now, there are exceptions. I'm not saying that it's impossible for people to
24
00:01:39,346 --> 00:01:43,426
go right out of the gate out of a training program or a degree program or whatever
25
00:01:43,426 --> 00:01:47,466
it is, and start supporting themselves within a year. What I am saying is it's unlikely.
26
00:01:48,086 --> 00:01:52,526
If you have lots of time, very few caregiving responsibilities,
27
00:01:52,806 --> 00:01:58,106
if you have a spouse or a partner who supports you, you may have more time to
28
00:01:58,106 --> 00:02:00,366
devote to this, and that might speed up the process a little bit.
29
00:02:00,846 --> 00:02:06,346
If you are a naturally outgoing person, and or if you have a really large network,
30
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:11,526
either online or large community where you live, work, etc.,
31
00:02:11,526 --> 00:02:14,186
then you may have a little bit of a jump start.
32
00:02:14,526 --> 00:02:17,866
If you're okay talking about what you do, if you do a really great job connecting
33
00:02:17,866 --> 00:02:20,506
with people, you can speed this whole thing up a little bit.
34
00:02:20,906 --> 00:02:25,226
However, most of us really have to learn the ins and outs of clinical practice,
35
00:02:25,386 --> 00:02:29,226
and we do it by trial and error, which means it takes a long time.
36
00:02:29,586 --> 00:02:33,626
And the harder it is for you to put yourself out there, the longer it takes
37
00:02:33,626 --> 00:02:37,646
to do the work of helping people see what you do, helping people know what you
38
00:02:37,646 --> 00:02:43,246
do, helping them feel comfortable with you, and being there when people are looking for you.
39
00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:46,206
That's just something that takes several years for many of us.
40
00:02:46,406 --> 00:02:50,366
So I don't, I'm not trying to discourage people by saying this,
41
00:02:50,426 --> 00:02:52,006
and I hope you're not hearing it that way.
42
00:02:52,126 --> 00:02:56,046
But when you understand, when you have a realistic understanding of the time
43
00:02:56,046 --> 00:03:00,826
that you can expect to gear up towards a clinical practice, then you can plan for it.
44
00:03:00,906 --> 00:03:05,946
You can say, okay, knowing this, what am I going to do to provide income and
45
00:03:05,946 --> 00:03:07,346
support in the meantime?
46
00:03:07,646 --> 00:03:10,006
And we all have different ways of piecing that together. other.
47
00:03:10,086 --> 00:03:13,186
So that's one caveat that I wanted to tell you.
48
00:03:13,406 --> 00:03:18,146
The other caveat is that a full-time clinical practice.
49
00:03:19,097 --> 00:03:24,677
Even if you have the marketing savvy and you learn how to do it and go out there
50
00:03:24,677 --> 00:03:27,877
and your community loves you and you're there and you're supporting people and
51
00:03:27,877 --> 00:03:33,777
you're seeing people, a full-time clinical practice is extremely hard for other reasons as well.
52
00:03:33,877 --> 00:03:37,937
It's not just the effort that it takes to bring in the client.
53
00:03:38,077 --> 00:03:44,937
It is also the energetic, mental, psychological effort that goes into seeing
54
00:03:44,937 --> 00:03:49,337
people that sometimes means a full-time clinical practice is not realistic.
55
00:03:49,717 --> 00:03:51,257
It depends on your capacity.
56
00:03:51,657 --> 00:03:55,637
It depends on, you know, what kind of supports you have in place.
57
00:03:55,717 --> 00:03:59,017
It depends on how much time you have, your restorative practices,
58
00:03:59,177 --> 00:04:00,917
all of these types of things come into play.
59
00:04:01,137 --> 00:04:05,877
But a lot of clinicians actually limit the number of clients they see,
60
00:04:05,897 --> 00:04:09,817
not because they can't see more, they can't find more clients to come and fill
61
00:04:09,817 --> 00:04:12,057
those spots, but because emotionally,
62
00:04:12,557 --> 00:04:16,957
physically, or for other reasons, they really just don't feel prepare to take
63
00:04:16,957 --> 00:04:18,137
on more clients than that.
64
00:04:18,337 --> 00:04:22,137
And so for that reason, many people like to supplement their clinical income
65
00:04:22,137 --> 00:04:28,637
with other activities, teaching, making herbal remedies, leading herb walks, the types of things.
66
00:04:29,177 --> 00:04:33,017
Okay. The other thing I will say is that if you are listening and you're an
67
00:04:33,017 --> 00:04:37,117
herbalist, there is an extra challenge, which is that people,
68
00:04:37,357 --> 00:04:43,697
many people in our communities don't have a pre-existing framework for what an herbalist is.
69
00:04:43,837 --> 00:04:47,197
So they don't know to look for you when you could be helpful.
70
00:04:47,477 --> 00:04:49,017
So if you're a nutritionist or
71
00:04:49,017 --> 00:04:54,037
a health coach or trainer or something like that, people have a concept.
72
00:04:54,097 --> 00:04:59,957
They know, oh, okay, I need a nutritionist because I think I'm having problems with dairy or whatever.
73
00:05:00,157 --> 00:05:03,197
I have a weird relationship with food. I think a nutritionist would be helpful.
74
00:05:03,777 --> 00:05:07,037
With an herbalist, they don't really know to Google herbalist.
75
00:05:07,157 --> 00:05:08,637
So there is that added benefit.
76
00:05:09,816 --> 00:05:14,276
That added work to do on your end, you not only have to help let people know,
77
00:05:14,336 --> 00:05:15,896
oh, here's what I personally do.
78
00:05:16,196 --> 00:05:19,276
And here's when you might want to work with me, you have to let people know
79
00:05:19,276 --> 00:05:21,456
what an herbalist is, in general.
80
00:05:21,616 --> 00:05:26,896
And so that is another thing that kind of extends the runway for people who
81
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:30,076
are in the herbal field versus those of you listening who are nutritionists,
82
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:37,016
or who have another modality that already exists in people's consciousness in some way.
83
00:05:37,396 --> 00:05:41,816
So some communities may have lots of herbalists and that it may be a more common thing.
84
00:05:41,916 --> 00:05:45,556
But for many places, there just isn't that concept.
85
00:05:45,736 --> 00:05:50,356
And so there is the underlying education that goes into things before people
86
00:05:50,356 --> 00:05:53,036
will even consider coming to work with you specifically.
87
00:05:53,516 --> 00:06:00,736
Okay. So I, again, my intention here is not to dissuade anybody from pursuing a clinical path.
88
00:06:01,156 --> 00:06:07,596
And I really, I really want you to go into it with your eyes open if you decide to do this work.
89
00:06:07,836 --> 00:06:12,416
If this is your calling and you feel like you have a lot to offer here,
90
00:06:12,556 --> 00:06:17,436
then think really carefully about how you can make this sustainable and supportive
91
00:06:17,436 --> 00:06:22,016
as you build up your practice to where it is sustaining and supporting you.
92
00:06:22,356 --> 00:06:26,576
The last thing I will say before I wrap up here is that I've already mentioned
93
00:06:26,576 --> 00:06:28,116
Mark Silver's book, Heart-Centered Business,
94
00:06:28,416 --> 00:06:32,576
which I highly recommend you read if you are in the process of thinking about
95
00:06:32,576 --> 00:06:37,436
this path or in the early stages of pursuing clinical practice and in a way
96
00:06:37,436 --> 00:06:38,136
that supports yourself.
97
00:06:38,416 --> 00:06:42,476
And the other book that I highly recommend you check out is called Radical Healership
98
00:06:42,476 --> 00:06:47,176
by Laura Mae Northrup, who also goes into some of the.
99
00:06:48,056 --> 00:06:52,596
Mental, emotional issues that come up when we start to do this visibility work
100
00:06:52,596 --> 00:06:56,476
and think about what it means to support ourselves, what it means to ask for
101
00:06:56,476 --> 00:07:02,496
support from our clients in a way that is reciprocal and sustainable for both people.
102
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:05,856
So I highly recommend checking out those two books if you haven't already.
103
00:07:06,456 --> 00:07:09,896
And Katie, I hope this is helpful for everybody who's listening.
104
00:07:09,976 --> 00:07:11,396
I hope it was helpful for you as well.
105
00:07:11,896 --> 00:07:15,576
Best of luck as you do this work. If you need support along the way,
106
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:20,256
that is very specifically why I created the Monday Mentoring Community of Practice
107
00:07:20,256 --> 00:07:22,156
because these things are hard.
108
00:07:22,196 --> 00:07:26,276
It's easy to get lost in the weeds when you're trying to do this work and it
109
00:07:26,276 --> 00:07:27,156
feels like nothing's working,
110
00:07:27,356 --> 00:07:31,696
be around other people who can give you the outside perspective that you need
111
00:07:31,696 --> 00:07:36,336
to get through those hard things so that you can grow as a practitioner and
112
00:07:36,336 --> 00:07:39,296
keep doing the work that you really want to do to support your community.
113
00:07:39,656 --> 00:07:43,496
Right. So you can find out more about Monday Mentoring at camillefreeman.com
114
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:44,416
slash mondaymentoring.
115
00:07:45,016 --> 00:07:49,356
And the last thing I'll say is that I have a new podcast page,
116
00:07:49,616 --> 00:07:51,836
which is intheclinic.com. And
117
00:07:51,836 --> 00:07:56,616
if you go there, you can find all of the episodes. You can leave a review.
118
00:07:58,284 --> 00:08:03,744
I have never had before, but you can leave a review on the page and you can
119
00:08:03,744 --> 00:08:05,864
also leave me a voice message.
120
00:08:06,324 --> 00:08:11,224
So if you have a question you'd like for me to answer in another podcast episode, I would love to do that.
121
00:08:11,484 --> 00:08:16,764
Just go to intheclinic.com and there's a little pink button with a microphone on it.
122
00:08:16,804 --> 00:08:19,784
If you click that, it just lets you record a really fast voice message.
123
00:08:20,024 --> 00:08:23,804
I will get it and I'll answer your question. So I'm really looking forward to
124
00:08:23,804 --> 00:08:24,764
hearing from you in that way.
125
00:08:24,864 --> 00:08:27,724
If you're If you're not a voice message kind of person, you can also message
126
00:08:27,724 --> 00:08:29,044
me and that would be fine too.
127
00:08:29,324 --> 00:08:32,124
All right. Thank you so much for listening and I'll talk to you really soon.
