• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: The feeling I'm getting is,
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: it's something in the space of needing to,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: I wanna say stand up for ourselves,
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: but advocate for our needs.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: But that doesn't mean you have to do it all on your own.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I've got stuff going on too.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's like a constant thing of always feeling like,
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: as mom,
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: as a woman,
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: like we should be able to do all of this on our own.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's the feminist way to do it.

• 1:06
  the people who were
• 1:07
  going to help me on the journey of getting to where I believe
• 1:11
  it should be.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: And that we don't have to do it all on our own.
• 1:16

• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: within this community,

• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um,
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not just you, it's me as well.

• 1:35
  this journey that is
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: life,
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: both during divorce,
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: post-divorce,
