Camille's Helpful Links for Practitioners

WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.297
Hi there. Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
00:00:04.557 --> 00:00:07.957
I'm an herbalist and nutritionist. And in this podcast, I share little tips
00:00:07.957 --> 00:00:10.277
and tidbits that might be helpful for other practitioners.
00:00:10.937 --> 00:00:15.577
Today, I want to talk to you about a revelation that came to me when I was teaching
00:00:15.577 --> 00:00:17.497
a workshop not too long ago.
00:00:17.997 --> 00:00:22.497
So, this workshop was about how to describe what you do.
00:00:22.977 --> 00:00:26.537
And if you've been in clinical or healing work for any period of time,
00:00:26.657 --> 00:00:30.057
you will know that the answer to the question, oh, what do you do,
00:00:30.097 --> 00:00:32.517
is absolutely challenging.
00:00:33.337 --> 00:00:36.357
It seems like such an easy thing. You know, it's one sentence,
00:00:36.357 --> 00:00:40.037
usually, maybe two, maybe three at the very most that you need to come up with
00:00:40.037 --> 00:00:43.277
to answer that question. And a lot of us tend to fumble it.
00:00:43.717 --> 00:00:47.337
We don't always have a great answer. And sometimes we look back and we think,
00:00:47.477 --> 00:00:49.797
oh, that wasn't really the right thing to say.
00:00:49.977 --> 00:00:52.837
It didn't feel great coming. You know, it sounded too formal or it sounded a
00:00:52.837 --> 00:00:56.717
little weird or people looked at me and kind of backed away or whatever.
00:00:57.497 --> 00:01:02.437
So anyway, this is an ongoing issue that comes up. You know,
00:01:02.517 --> 00:01:03.817
I've been doing this work for 20 years.
00:01:03.997 --> 00:01:08.257
I've thought about it a lot, been mentoring other people for at least 10, maybe more years.
00:01:08.577 --> 00:01:11.497
And I've talked about this a lot. I have a lot of opinions. I have a lot of
00:01:11.497 --> 00:01:13.017
strategies and tips and things like that.
00:01:13.277 --> 00:01:17.437
So anyway, I was putting together this workshop, coming up with my slides,
00:01:17.697 --> 00:01:19.797
organizing my thoughts, etc., etc.
00:01:20.717 --> 00:01:23.437
And felt like, okay, I've got a lot of useful things to offer here.
00:01:24.017 --> 00:01:29.797
However, when I did the presentation, I had people there live.
00:01:29.957 --> 00:01:33.737
I always love it when people come live because there's questions and comments
00:01:33.737 --> 00:01:39.117
and things like that in the chat, which I like to watch as I am teaching and respond to in real time.
00:01:39.257 --> 00:01:43.777
I feel like it's more of a conversation and I can modify the class based on what's there.
00:01:44.417 --> 00:01:49.977
And one of the things I think is really cool about teaching is that sometimes people.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.920
At least for me, the way my brain is working when I'm teaching,
00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:58.840
I can see things or put pieces together in a way that I can't when I'm just
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.320
thinking about teaching or preparing a class.
00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:05.360
And that happened during this class. Okay, so I was teaching it,
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:08.900
and I'm seeing these questions come in, and I'm seeing people putting examples
00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:12.280
in the chat for us to give feedback on about how they might describe what they
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.780
do after hearing some of my thoughts.
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:18.760
And all of a sudden, I realized something that I hadn't realized before,
00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:25.360
which is that one of the reasons answering the question, what do you do,
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.540
is so hard for people is because many of us do multiple things, right?
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.720
Some of us are herbalists and we're nutritionists, or we are herbalists,
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.260
but we do clinical herbalism and we run an apothecary and we do herb walks.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.920
Or maybe you are a nutritionist And you also have a job job that has nothing
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.220
to do with nutrition because you are an analyst or you teach kindergarten or whatever else.
00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:54.240
So I was like, oh, I think one of the issues people are having,
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:59.760
which was becoming clear to me by the chat questions in this Zoom presentation,
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:05.100
is that people are trying to be really thorough in a way that if you were writing
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:07.500
an about me page or a resume or something,
00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:11.180
you would absolutely want to include all the components of what you do.
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:12.760
Your various trainings and your,
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.180
you know, background in different professions and that sort of thing.
00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:19.820
And I was like, oh, this is a real hang up for people.
00:03:20.555 --> 00:03:27.055
Because if you try to describe everything you do in this one sentence in a casual social situation,
00:03:27.435 --> 00:03:30.575
either you're going to hog all the space because it's going to take you five
00:03:30.575 --> 00:03:36.915
minutes to fully flesh out each of these things, or all you have time to do
00:03:36.915 --> 00:03:42.215
is just list off a bunch of credentials or words that don't really mean a lot to people.
00:03:42.855 --> 00:03:46.675
And so it came to me as I was teaching, I was like, oh, I see.
00:03:46.775 --> 00:03:51.115
And I think I've known this, but it hadn't come into words or clicked together
00:03:51.115 --> 00:03:52.595
for me exactly in this way.
00:03:52.815 --> 00:03:58.215
Like, oh, I think a helpful and useful piece of advice would be don't try to
00:03:58.215 --> 00:04:01.735
describe everything you do in answer to this question in a conversation,
00:04:01.735 --> 00:04:05.295
on a website, in a written form. Amazing. Do what you want to do.
00:04:05.915 --> 00:04:10.775
But in a social setting, if somebody asks you what you do, my advice is to pick
00:04:10.775 --> 00:04:16.375
one piece of something that you do that is most relevant or potentially most
00:04:16.375 --> 00:04:19.575
interesting to the person you're talking to. So I'll give you an example.
00:04:21.755 --> 00:04:25.495
I'm actually a very good example of this because Bloom & Grow,
00:04:25.695 --> 00:04:26.975
right now, the main thing I do
00:04:26.975 --> 00:04:31.455
at Bloom & Grow is continuing education for herbalists and nutritionists.
00:04:31.675 --> 00:04:35.175
I have the Monday Mentoring Community of Practice, which I think of under the
00:04:35.175 --> 00:04:36.575
continuing education umbrella.
00:04:37.035 --> 00:04:41.695
And that's a big part of what I do. However, I also have my own clinical practice,
00:04:41.875 --> 00:04:44.475
where I work with fertility and menstrual health.
00:04:44.675 --> 00:04:47.795
I also run the free clinic, where we see people with all kinds,
00:04:47.935 --> 00:04:50.035
you know, who knows, whatever people show up with.
00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:55.575
And I also, a very small part of what I do is giving classes and presentations
00:04:55.575 --> 00:04:58.575
for, you know, outside organizations.
00:04:58.695 --> 00:05:01.295
Like, you know, we just did one for a bunch of social workers,
00:05:01.435 --> 00:05:04.595
and I sometimes teach at other schools or universities or things like that.
00:05:04.815 --> 00:05:07.575
So I have all these components of what I do. And if I tried,
00:05:07.715 --> 00:05:09.155
if somebody asked me, oh, what do you do?
00:05:09.235 --> 00:05:13.595
And I was like, oh, well, I run a small business where we offer continuing education
00:05:13.595 --> 00:05:17.015
programs for nutritionists and herbalists. And I have a clinical practice where I do this.
00:05:17.315 --> 00:05:20.795
And I sometimes I teach, like, I'm just going on and on and people are going
00:05:20.795 --> 00:05:23.735
to just drift away because I'm just sucking up too much.
00:05:24.552 --> 00:05:28.732
Too much energy, and it's hard for people to grasp onto any one thing enough
00:05:28.732 --> 00:05:29.972
to keep a conversation going.
00:05:30.432 --> 00:05:36.332
So what I do, and again, I hadn't really thought about consciously that I do
00:05:36.332 --> 00:05:40.632
this until I was teaching this presentation, but it is true that this is what
00:05:40.632 --> 00:05:44.112
I do, is that I will answer differently depending on who I'm talking to.
00:05:44.512 --> 00:05:48.292
So if it is just a sort of generic business setting, I will just say,
00:05:48.412 --> 00:05:51.812
I run a small business offering continuing education for herbalists and nutritionists.
00:05:51.812 --> 00:05:55.672
And if they want to ask more into it, amazing. And if not, you know, whatever.
00:05:56.292 --> 00:06:01.932
If I am in a clinical setting where people are, you know, most people are practitioners,
00:06:02.232 --> 00:06:05.132
where I'm around doctors or nurse practitioners or whatever else,
00:06:05.272 --> 00:06:08.952
I will say, you know, I'm a herbalist and nutritionist and I work with people
00:06:08.952 --> 00:06:11.172
who, you know, on fertility and menstrual health.
00:06:11.612 --> 00:06:15.812
So both of those things are true. It's not a full and complete picture of everything
00:06:15.812 --> 00:06:17.452
I do, but it doesn't need to be.
00:06:17.972 --> 00:06:22.772
Because again, I can throw additional information into the conversation if we keep talking.
00:06:24.032 --> 00:06:26.412
You know, I could say, I'm an author and I just wrote a book.
00:06:26.612 --> 00:06:29.072
There's a hundred things that I could say in response to what I do.
00:06:29.192 --> 00:06:33.392
And all I'm doing is just picking one, picking one or maybe two things to put
00:06:33.392 --> 00:06:38.672
into the conversation based on what I think would be most interesting or useful
00:06:38.672 --> 00:06:39.972
to the person I'm talking to.
00:06:40.552 --> 00:06:43.532
So anyway, that's something that came to me.
00:06:43.692 --> 00:06:47.252
And I thought this was a really cool example of how teaching,
00:06:47.252 --> 00:06:51.732
I feel like your brain is working a little bit differently when you're teaching something.
00:06:52.472 --> 00:06:57.332
And when you're in conversation, when you're in that energy of really being
00:06:57.332 --> 00:06:58.532
present with the people who are
00:06:58.532 --> 00:07:02.072
there and paying attention, sometimes when somebody asks you a question,
00:07:02.672 --> 00:07:05.672
it's been my experience that things will come out of my mouth that I'm like,
00:07:05.732 --> 00:07:10.292
oh, I know that to be true, but I've never said it before. I've never said it like that. before.
00:07:10.572 --> 00:07:14.132
And all of a sudden, again, it like clicks things into place.
00:07:14.312 --> 00:07:18.832
And that's one of the things I love so much about teaching is that it can bring
00:07:18.832 --> 00:07:22.732
out of us things that were there but buried.
00:07:23.252 --> 00:07:28.112
So anyway, I think the point of this podcast is number one, little tip for describing
00:07:28.112 --> 00:07:31.452
what you do, which is you don't have to say every single thing that you do in
00:07:31.452 --> 00:07:32.912
a conversational setting, just pick one.
00:07:33.192 --> 00:07:38.652
And if the others come up later, great. If not, you haven't lied, and it's no problem.
00:07:38.912 --> 00:07:42.132
So that's one piece of it. And then the other piece of it is just a comment
00:07:42.132 --> 00:07:46.572
or a reflection on how teaching can be a way to.
00:07:47.742 --> 00:07:52.902
Clarify our own philosophy and to bring forth things that we hadn't seen before,
00:07:53.042 --> 00:07:58.342
especially when you are doing live teaching, where you have the absolute privilege
00:07:58.342 --> 00:08:03.562
of interacting with people who are listening and engaging in what you're saying.
00:08:03.782 --> 00:08:07.682
So anyway, big shout out to everybody who came live to the workshop.
00:08:07.922 --> 00:08:10.142
Thank you so much. And people who come live to any of my workshops,
00:08:10.242 --> 00:08:13.022
I'm always so grateful, even though I know it's not always possible.
00:08:13.182 --> 00:08:15.542
And I love that recordings are available.
00:08:15.902 --> 00:08:18.902
But anyway, there's something really special about going live to things.
00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:23.282
And anyway, I hope that's helpful. Just wanted to share that with you today.
00:08:23.582 --> 00:08:26.742
If you have any questions, please reach out and let me know.
00:08:26.822 --> 00:08:30.322

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.297
Hi there. Welcome to In the Clinic with Camille. My name is Camille Freeman.
00:00:04.557 --> 00:00:07.957
I'm an herbalist and nutritionist. And in this podcast, I share little tips
00:00:07.957 --> 00:00:10.277
and tidbits that might be helpful for other practitioners.
00:00:10.937 --> 00:00:15.577
Today, I want to talk to you about a revelation that came to me when I was teaching
00:00:15.577 --> 00:00:17.497
a workshop not too long ago.
00:00:17.997 --> 00:00:22.497
So, this workshop was about how to describe what you do.
00:00:22.977 --> 00:00:26.537
And if you've been in clinical or healing work for any period of time,
00:00:26.657 --> 00:00:30.057
you will know that the answer to the question, oh, what do you do,
00:00:30.097 --> 00:00:32.517
is absolutely challenging.
00:00:33.337 --> 00:00:36.357
It seems like such an easy thing. You know, it's one sentence,
00:00:36.357 --> 00:00:40.037
usually, maybe two, maybe three at the very most that you need to come up with
00:00:40.037 --> 00:00:43.277
to answer that question. And a lot of us tend to fumble it.
00:00:43.717 --> 00:00:47.337
We don't always have a great answer. And sometimes we look back and we think,
00:00:47.477 --> 00:00:49.797
oh, that wasn't really the right thing to say.
00:00:49.977 --> 00:00:52.837
It didn't feel great coming. You know, it sounded too formal or it sounded a
00:00:52.837 --> 00:00:56.717
little weird or people looked at me and kind of backed away or whatever.
00:00:57.497 --> 00:01:02.437
So anyway, this is an ongoing issue that comes up. You know,
00:01:02.517 --> 00:01:03.817
I've been doing this work for 20 years.
00:01:03.997 --> 00:01:08.257
I've thought about it a lot, been mentoring other people for at least 10, maybe more years.
00:01:08.577 --> 00:01:11.497
And I've talked about this a lot. I have a lot of opinions. I have a lot of
00:01:11.497 --> 00:01:13.017
strategies and tips and things like that.
00:01:13.277 --> 00:01:17.437
So anyway, I was putting together this workshop, coming up with my slides,
00:01:17.697 --> 00:01:19.797
organizing my thoughts, etc., etc.
00:01:20.717 --> 00:01:23.437
And felt like, okay, I've got a lot of useful things to offer here.
00:01:24.017 --> 00:01:29.797
However, when I did the presentation, I had people there live.
00:01:29.957 --> 00:01:33.737
I always love it when people come live because there's questions and comments
00:01:33.737 --> 00:01:39.117
and things like that in the chat, which I like to watch as I am teaching and respond to in real time.
00:01:39.257 --> 00:01:43.777
I feel like it's more of a conversation and I can modify the class based on what's there.
00:01:44.417 --> 00:01:49.977
And one of the things I think is really cool about teaching is that sometimes people.

At least for me, the way my brain is working when I'm teaching,
00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:58.840
I can see things or put pieces together in a way that I can't when I'm just
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.320
thinking about teaching or preparing a class.
00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:05.360
And that happened during this class. Okay, so I was teaching it,
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:08.900
and I'm seeing these questions come in, and I'm seeing people putting examples
00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:12.280
in the chat for us to give feedback on about how they might describe what they
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.780
do after hearing some of my thoughts.
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:18.760
And all of a sudden, I realized something that I hadn't realized before,
00:02:19.100 --> 00:02:25.360
which is that one of the reasons answering the question, what do you do,
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:30.540
is so hard for people is because many of us do multiple things, right?
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:35.720
Some of us are herbalists and we're nutritionists, or we are herbalists,
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.260
but we do clinical herbalism and we run an apothecary and we do herb walks.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.920
Or maybe you are a nutritionist And you also have a job job that has nothing
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.220
to do with nutrition because you are an analyst or you teach kindergarten or whatever else.
00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:54.240
So I was like, oh, I think one of the issues people are having,
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:59.760
which was becoming clear to me by the chat questions in this Zoom presentation,
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:05.100
is that people are trying to be really thorough in a way that if you were writing
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:07.500
an about me page or a resume or something,
00:03:07.700 --> 00:03:11.180
you would absolutely want to include all the components of what you do.
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:12.760
Your various trainings and your,
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.180
you know, background in different professions and that sort of thing.
00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:19.820
And I was like, oh, this is a real hang up for people.
00:03:20.555 --> 00:03:27.055
Because if you try to describe everything you do in this one sentence in a casual social situation,
00:03:27.435 --> 00:03:30.575
either you're going to hog all the space because it's going to take you five
00:03:30.575 --> 00:03:36.915
minutes to fully flesh out each of these things, or all you have time to do
00:03:36.915 --> 00:03:42.215
is just list off a bunch of credentials or words that don't really mean a lot to people.
00:03:42.855 --> 00:03:46.675
And so it came to me as I was teaching, I was like, oh, I see.
00:03:46.775 --> 00:03:51.115
And I think I've known this, but it hadn't come into words or clicked together
00:03:51.115 --> 00:03:52.595
for me exactly in this way.
00:03:52.815 --> 00:03:58.215
Like, oh, I think a helpful and useful piece of advice would be don't try to
00:03:58.215 --> 00:04:01.735
describe everything you do in answer to this question in a conversation,
00:04:01.735 --> 00:04:05.295
on a website, in a written form. Amazing. Do what you want to do.
00:04:05.915 --> 00:04:10.775
But in a social setting, if somebody asks you what you do, my advice is to pick
00:04:10.775 --> 00:04:16.375
one piece of something that you do that is most relevant or potentially most
00:04:16.375 --> 00:04:19.575
interesting to the person you're talking to. So I'll give you an example.
00:04:21.755 --> 00:04:25.495
I'm actually a very good example of this because Bloom & Grow,
00:04:25.695 --> 00:04:26.975
right now, the main thing I do
00:04:26.975 --> 00:04:31.455
at Bloom & Grow is continuing education for herbalists and nutritionists.
00:04:31.675 --> 00:04:35.175
I have the Monday Mentoring Community of Practice, which I think of under the
00:04:35.175 --> 00:04:36.575
continuing education umbrella.
00:04:37.035 --> 00:04:41.695
And that's a big part of what I do. However, I also have my own clinical practice,
00:04:41.875 --> 00:04:44.475
where I work with fertility and menstrual health.
00:04:44.675 --> 00:04:47.795
I also run the free clinic, where we see people with all kinds,
00:04:47.935 --> 00:04:50.035
you know, who knows, whatever people show up with.
00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:55.575
And I also, a very small part of what I do is giving classes and presentations
00:04:55.575 --> 00:04:58.575
for, you know, outside organizations.
00:04:58.695 --> 00:05:01.295
Like, you know, we just did one for a bunch of social workers,
00:05:01.435 --> 00:05:04.595
and I sometimes teach at other schools or universities or things like that.
00:05:04.815 --> 00:05:07.575
So I have all these components of what I do. And if I tried,
00:05:07.715 --> 00:05:09.155
if somebody asked me, oh, what do you do?
00:05:09.235 --> 00:05:13.595
And I was like, oh, well, I run a small business where we offer continuing education
00:05:13.595 --> 00:05:17.015
programs for nutritionists and herbalists. And I have a clinical practice where I do this.
00:05:17.315 --> 00:05:20.795
And I sometimes I teach, like, I'm just going on and on and people are going
00:05:20.795 --> 00:05:23.735
to just drift away because I'm just sucking up too much.
00:05:24.552 --> 00:05:28.732
Too much energy, and it's hard for people to grasp onto any one thing enough
00:05:28.732 --> 00:05:29.972
to keep a conversation going.
00:05:30.432 --> 00:05:36.332
So what I do, and again, I hadn't really thought about consciously that I do
00:05:36.332 --> 00:05:40.632
this until I was teaching this presentation, but it is true that this is what
00:05:40.632 --> 00:05:44.112
I do, is that I will answer differently depending on who I'm talking to.
00:05:44.512 --> 00:05:48.292
So if it is just a sort of generic business setting, I will just say,
00:05:48.412 --> 00:05:51.812
I run a small business offering continuing education for herbalists and nutritionists.
00:05:51.812 --> 00:05:55.672
And if they want to ask more into it, amazing. And if not, you know, whatever.
00:05:56.292 --> 00:06:01.932
If I am in a clinical setting where people are, you know, most people are practitioners,
00:06:02.232 --> 00:06:05.132
where I'm around doctors or nurse practitioners or whatever else,
00:06:05.272 --> 00:06:08.952
I will say, you know, I'm a herbalist and nutritionist and I work with people
00:06:08.952 --> 00:06:11.172
who, you know, on fertility and menstrual health.
00:06:11.612 --> 00:06:15.812
So both of those things are true. It's not a full and complete picture of everything
00:06:15.812 --> 00:06:17.452
I do, but it doesn't need to be.
00:06:17.972 --> 00:06:22.772
Because again, I can throw additional information into the conversation if we keep talking.
00:06:24.032 --> 00:06:26.412
You know, I could say, I'm an author and I just wrote a book.
00:06:26.612 --> 00:06:29.072
There's a hundred things that I could say in response to what I do.
00:06:29.192 --> 00:06:33.392
And all I'm doing is just picking one, picking one or maybe two things to put
00:06:33.392 --> 00:06:38.672
into the conversation based on what I think would be most interesting or useful
00:06:38.672 --> 00:06:39.972
to the person I'm talking to.
00:06:40.552 --> 00:06:43.532
So anyway, that's something that came to me.
00:06:43.692 --> 00:06:47.252
And I thought this was a really cool example of how teaching,
00:06:47.252 --> 00:06:51.732
I feel like your brain is working a little bit differently when you're teaching something.
00:06:52.472 --> 00:06:57.332
And when you're in conversation, when you're in that energy of really being
00:06:57.332 --> 00:06:58.532
present with the people who are
00:06:58.532 --> 00:07:02.072
there and paying attention, sometimes when somebody asks you a question,
00:07:02.672 --> 00:07:05.672
it's been my experience that things will come out of my mouth that I'm like,
00:07:05.732 --> 00:07:10.292
oh, I know that to be true, but I've never said it before. I've never said it like that. before.
00:07:10.572 --> 00:07:14.132
And all of a sudden, again, it like clicks things into place.
00:07:14.312 --> 00:07:18.832
And that's one of the things I love so much about teaching is that it can bring
00:07:18.832 --> 00:07:22.732
out of us things that were there but buried.
00:07:23.252 --> 00:07:28.112
So anyway, I think the point of this podcast is number one, little tip for describing
00:07:28.112 --> 00:07:31.452
what you do, which is you don't have to say every single thing that you do in
00:07:31.452 --> 00:07:32.912
a conversational setting, just pick one.
00:07:33.192 --> 00:07:38.652
And if the others come up later, great. If not, you haven't lied, and it's no problem.
00:07:38.912 --> 00:07:42.132
So that's one piece of it. And then the other piece of it is just a comment
00:07:42.132 --> 00:07:46.572
or a reflection on how teaching can be a way to.
00:07:47.742 --> 00:07:52.902
Clarify our own philosophy and to bring forth things that we hadn't seen before,
00:07:53.042 --> 00:07:58.342
especially when you are doing live teaching, where you have the absolute privilege
00:07:58.342 --> 00:08:03.562
of interacting with people who are listening and engaging in what you're saying.
00:08:03.782 --> 00:08:07.682
So anyway, big shout out to everybody who came live to the workshop.
00:08:07.922 --> 00:08:10.142
Thank you so much. And people who come live to any of my workshops,
00:08:10.242 --> 00:08:13.022
I'm always so grateful, even though I know it's not always possible.
00:08:13.182 --> 00:08:15.542
And I love that recordings are available.
00:08:15.902 --> 00:08:18.902
But anyway, there's something really special about going live to things.
00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:23.282
And anyway, I hope that's helpful. Just wanted to share that with you today.
00:08:23.582 --> 00:08:26.742
