00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Laya and Mardia's attention comforted him.

<v Speaker 3>He took a deep breath and shared a recent experience.

110
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 3>The other day, I was trying to prepare a Christmas

124
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 3>felt compelled to speak. Vulnerability can be scary, but it's

125

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.080
