    I love these podcast, but I wonder if you could possibly read somewhat slower, or make this available on YouTube so I can adjust the speed and have captioning and the ability to pause the presentation.

      Hi Lorraine!
      People have been telling me I talk too fast my whole life. 🙂 I don’t plan to put these on YouTube, but there is a complete transcript available with each episode, right here in the post. So you can print that and following along – I hope that helps!
