About the Episode:

Are you buckled up and ready to dive in? Because this is episode 263 of the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast, and I’m your host, Karen Yankovich. And let me tell you, we have a fresh twist for you, folks! This is our first official video version, providing a thrilling segment of engagement lined up for all our rich girls out there.

Our special guest today is none other than my good friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Tanya English, a woman with a thriving journey of over three decades in the healing world. Starting as a massage therapist, evolving into a chiropractor and now shining as an energy healer, Tanya is a force to reckon with. She’s passionate about unearthing this inbuilt power we all have to heal ourselves, and I’m equally thrilled to help bring this knowledge to you.

Dr. English employs the unique Blue Note Healing toolkit to unlock this self-healing power and educates people about ways to leverage this potential for their overall wellbeing. Her finesse lies in the Bioenergetic Synchronization Technique, meticulously pinpointing and nullifying negative physiological patterns that hinder the body’s inherent healing ability. As a versatile energy healer, analyzing individual energy patterns is her sweet spot, identifying and clearing energy blockages that interrupt your full vibrance of life.

I’ve had my fair share of twists and turns, juggling the complexities of health challenges, sudden shifts, and work obligations. And that’s where Tanya’s role in my life has been instrumental. But guess what? She doesn’t just address bodily discomforts, but pulls apart the underlying emotional textures that define women’s health.

Speaking about her work, Tanya underscores that each emotional state carries a unique physiology, and getting ensnared in the negative ones impacts our overall health. Circle back to our conversation, it’s a wrap with a gentle nudge for all you women out there about self-care. It’s pivotal, and it often slips through our checklist.

Hello, hello, everyone. I’m Karen Yankovich. And I am the host of the good girls get rich podcast. And this is episode number 263. And it is, it is it goes down in history as our first official video version of his podcast as well. So if you’re listening to this and all your normal podcast places, you’ll get all the same things you always get. But you can now also watch this on YouTube. And wherever else I just had to share it. So. So the format is a little bit different because we are doing this on video. And I am excited to be here with my colleague and friend, Tanya English and Dr. Tanya English has been working for over 35 years in the healing field first, as a massage therapist, then as a chiropractor and energy healer, Dr. English has been inspired by the idea that we’ve been born with the power to heal. Her mission is to show people that they have tremendous power healing power within and that they can use that power for the highest good. Dr. English uses Blue Note healing methods to help others unlock that healing power and then educate so that people can use those techniques for themselves. And for the good of others. She’s a master of bioenergetic synchronization technique, which works on the subconscious level to dissipate negative physiological patterns that keeps the body from healing. She’s also an energy healer with the ability to look into the energy pattern of an individual and discern and remove energy blockages that keep one from their fullest expression of life. And I have got to experience all of this personally, as well as professionally with with Tanya. So Tanya, I’m so excited to have you here. Thanks so much for being here with us today.

Tanya English 1:28
Well, thanks for having me, Karen. It’s a pleasure to be the first video.

Karen Yankovich 1:31
Yeah, it’s exciting, right? It’s exciting. Oh, he’s trying new things. We’ll see if we continue with this. Oh, he’s trying new things. But, you know, um, can I tell the audience a little bit about how that works, not necessarily how we met, but how we ended up coming to me coming to you to say, yeah, so share. Yeah. So Tanya, and I were working to have been working together for a while. And I had in the beginning of 2023, I just had this craziness going on in my life. I had, you know, family challenges, and I just last minute decided to move and all this crazy, crazy craziness. And trying to hold it all together and trying to be there for those people. And oh, by the way, run my business, right. So I was on call with Tanya, and she was talking about how the kinds of ways she helps people. And we were kind of collaborating on how she can bring that to more people. And in my head, I’m going, I need this, I need this personally, because, you know, as a mom and a daughter and a partner and all the things, you know, I I genuinely want to be there for people. But I also want to be there for you for for the podcast listeners for my clients and for the people that invest in me and because right now you’re investing your time with me, even if you’ve even if you haven’t given me your credit card, you’re investing your time with me. And I take that seriously. And I just felt like I wasn’t showing up. And by the way, I had COVID the very end of December. So I was doing all this, like two weeks after I had first I had been diagnosed with COVID. I was testing positive for like, I think 12 days, you know, so I was exhausted is not like it’s not the word. So I reached out to tiny because I know that what she does is she What I love about your bio, Tanya, is that you help people heal themselves, like you understand that it’s in there. And I knew that but I couldn’t access that. Right. So I haven’t even let you talk yet. But I wanted to let everybody know kind of set the stage for how important I think as entrepreneurs, especially if we are shifting, you know, maybe you’re shifting from corporate to entrepreneurism or you’ve got a new chapter ahead of you. We taking care of ourselves. There’s nothing more important than that. And as women, that’s not always our first instinct, right? So tell us a little bit about you what brought you to want to do this work.

Tanya English 3:50
So the women in general, right, we put ourselves on the back burner, that means we’re simmering all the time back there. And eventually what happens is either all liquid dries up, and it burns or something goes off and we have to pay attention. That’s the thing that happens, burnout or something goes wrong, and we have to pay attention. And paying attention means putting our attention on actually taking care of ourselves. You know, this year for me has been like that, too. I came up with a couple of things that are happening in my physical body and I’m going okay, well, I’ve been doing so well. Why why is this happening? Because I want to take care of other people. That’s what I love to do. Taking care of myself, okay. All right, I have to get pretty serious about this. So, you know, doing the same old thing really wasn’t working for me either. And so I had to do new things and like, get outside my comfort zone because that’s where the new things are, right? So it makes a difference when you actually put attention on your intention, then there’s no tension

Karen Yankovich 5:00
Whoo, that’s a great line. That’s a great line. Look it up. We’ll definitely we’ll definitely be sharing that line when we promote this episode. Yeah, so but you know, one of the things I love the most about your tiny is that you come to this place of healing with you know, of committed being I have a commitment to being a healer, with not just the right brain energetics, but the left brain training, right, you are trained and, and certified. And whatever you call a certification

Tanya English 5:29
chiropractor, I’ve been practicing for over 30 years chiropractic, I was a licensed massage therapist before that. So I’ve been studying anatomy and physiology all those years. That’s what we do, we learn about the thing that we’re working on. The other thing that I learned that I study is what’s influencing that, because we’re not just the sum of our parts, was more than that. And so that more than that part is the part that I’m really interested in, because that’s what’s influencing the physical. So in chiropractic, chiropractic philosophy, one on one is remove interference from the nervous system, the body heals, why the nervous system, because it’s the communication network for the whole entire body. And beyond, I’ll say that, because we’re getting there. Yeah, if you remove interference from the nervous system, then the feedback loops that happen can be like, in reality, they’re getting the right signal, if there’s interference, and we call that a bone pressing on a nerve, so that the nerve gets either too much information or not enough, then that organ at the end of the nerve, whether it’s a muscle or a liver, or, you know, whatever it is, that’s not getting the proper information. So it’s all about communication and dialing down the static so that the signal comes in clearly. So here’s the other part of that. Not only do we have this physical part, but our emotions and our feelings are how we interact with the world. And every single emotion that we have every feeling that we have, has its own physiology. So would you agree that happiness is a little bit different than bliss? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And that piece is a little bit different than calm. Yes, kind of synonyms, but they are a little different. That’s why we have different words for them. Hmm, I like that. And every time you have a feeling, whether it’s regret, or shame or blame, it has a different physiology and those physiologies, those negative ones that I just talked about, can get stuck running over and over and over. And the reason why they get stuck is because they happen with intensity, or they happen chronically over and over again. So the body memorizes the pattern and goes, oh, I’ll just do this now. So talk about your body and your cells, like it’s another entity because it makes it easier for me to relate concepts. But your body only knows two parts. It only knows two modes, really, it knows survive and not survive. So if it thinks it’s in not survive, it’s going to do whatever it has to do to survive. So it memorizes and that pattern becomes subconscious. Now you don’t have to think about it anymore. It just happens. The example I’ll give you is like, if you’re driving to the grocery store, are you thinking about driving? Are you thinking about what you’re gonna get a store? Right, the driving is subconscious. That doesn’t mean you’re not

Karen Yankovich 8:45
looking at how many times have you arrived someplace and barely remembered how you got there, right? Yeah,

Tanya English 8:49
yeah, exactly. And so you know, it, we don’t realize that we’re creating these patterns, but the emotional pattern gets created to and when that’s overriding what’s happening presently, when that pattern is overriding present time, we call that a subconscious emotional memory override, we call the c mo for short, subconscious emotional memory override. Your body is doing this emotional pattern that it’s supposed to do physiologically, and it’s overriding present time. So when I’m doing muscle testing with people, and I say hold your arm out, and I’m going to press on it, and when I say hold, you hold your arm there and I can push their arm down, and I can get it from here to here. That means the body’s going Yeah, yeah, I’ll be with you in a second. I’m kind of busy. What? Yeah. And we can do that online as well. I use a surrogate for that. So I’m not actually touching the person that I’m online with, but I have a surrogate that I use for that. And it works really, really well to help people understand. My body isn’t impressed. that time because in present time I said, Yes, I’m gonna hold my arm. Right. And and so the thing that I teach people when I’m working with them online is how to do muscle testing for themselves. How to do how to find a yes or no is my body mind spirit in agreement with the statement? I forgive myself for allowing this to affect me negatively? No, it’s not an alignment. Right?

Karen Yankovich 10:24
How many you know, I mean, gosh, I can probably think of 100 things that have happened. I gotta say to me, for me, or, or I experienced, maybe things that I’ve experienced in my life. That could be some of those energy blocks, some of them more intense than others, but some of the little ones that don’t seem like a big deal. But if you’re still in my head, right, they’re there for a reason. What if

Tanya English 10:45
it’s happening when you’re pre verbal? Before he knows what is happening in utero? Yeah. What if it’s happening, generations back? So the work that I do, I can clear that stuff, generations back lifetimes, generations, it really doesn’t matter. If you believe in past lives, what matters is the story that’s coming out of you. Right? So when I’m reading people’s energy, intuitively, that means I’m picking up their vibration, and I’m translating it into words that I can relate back. When I’m doing that intuitive energy scanning, then I can tell the person here’s where I see this as blocked. And that’s what we need to work on first, second, third. So we get that idea of,

Karen Yankovich 11:31
it’s so important. You know, I don’t know if I ever mentioned this to you. But I saw one time, something that said there is a part of you that remembers being in utero. Absolutely. Like, gosh, like, That’s so crazy. Could you think of your mother and right? You don’t really imagine yourself inside of her, right? Like what you were. And I’ll

Tanya English 11:50
tell you a story when my sister and her daughter were traveling somewhere. And she said, Oh, that’s when I was the mom and you were the baby. And she was about three or four years old at the time. So she had forgotten all this stuff yet, right? And then she said, Oh, yeah, that’s where the rainbow came out of my belly, the umbilical cord. That’s where the rainbow came out. Wow. Yeah. Pretty amazing. So when you’re talking to little kids, like three or four years old, they’re verbal, they can tell you can ask them questions, see what happens. Sometimes they remember sometimes they don’t I have a client who remembers three of his past lives. Like, wow.

Karen Yankovich 12:29
Wow, interesting.

Tanya English 12:30
You know, people are fascinated.

Karen Yankovich 12:32
I talked about this forever. But let’s talk about how it

impacts us today. Right. So, you know, when you’ve got that, you know, you talk about the fact that these are energy blocks in your lives right now. Right? And I know that a lot of the work you do is around grief. Right? And we’ll talk about this for a minute because we at least me, I can speak for myself, I feel like I try to compartmentalize, you know, and I know that there’s only so much I can do about that. But you know, you’re you came to this work with grief around stillbirth and pregnancy loss. And no matter how I you know, have not experienced that, but I can imagine that that doesn’t go away. You know, that is just such changes part of who you are, you know,

Tanya English 13:12
it changes and so, you know, I talk about it very freely and openly because this is the thing is like, it’s stillbirth. People don’t talk about it. And then you have that happens to you and people start coming out of the woodwork. Oh, yeah, that happened to me. Yeah. But see, we don’t talk about it very much. Now. Nowadays, everybody’s talking about everything. So you can find a podcast on it. Right. But right. What I’m saying is that people don’t know how to talk about grief in a way that is uplifting. Now, here’s the thing. This is a big picture, kind of look at it. And you have to decide, are things happening to me? Or are they happening for me? That’s a big leap for a lot of people.

Karen Yankovich 13:52
It is a big leap. And it’s one of the questions I hate the most. I get it. I mean, I when I say I hate it, I don’t hate it, I get what you’re asking it. When people ask me it. I’m like, Oh, God. So I know. I know. Like, it’s happening to me, like, I want to be all like victime around that, right? I know that actually, I know that’s not supposed to serve anybody right

Tanya English 14:12
now. The whole idea of that you’re responsible for everything that happens in your life. I mean, it’s not your life that I’m living here and it’s mine. So I’m responsible for what happens in my life, right? Responsible doesn’t mean blame and shame. Okay, this is where this starts to get. People’s people’s boundaries are fuzzy on this because they’ve been taught, don’t talk about yourself. You’re not worthy. You don’t measure up this is the stuff that we hear, like, you got an A minus, why didn’t you get an A plus? What’s wrong with you? Right? This is stuff that I hear from my patients and my clients. Like, if nothing was ever good enough, I couldn’t get anybody’s attention. And here’s the thing, it’s like it, it compounds as you grow because now you’re going well, I’m never gonna have that happen again. So you’re reacting about what didn’t happen. And then you say, Well, I’m never going to do that to anybody else. Now you’re still reacting about what happened. It’s not about this reaction thing that we have. And I was just talking to a guy the other day, he goes, everyone I meet how some negative aspect of my mother and I said to him, Have you forgiven your mother and it stopped him dead in his tracks? He was like, Oh, I said, we could work on that.

Karen Yankovich 15:27
Yeah, because listen, I, you know, I, as a hero of us, of course, I can relate to a lot of it. And there’s a part of me that thinks, like, let’s just use the, as something that’s not quite emotionally charged, like the a minus and a plus. Right? Which is emotionally charged. For some people. I get that right. But for what? Absolutely. Right. But wouldn’t it absolutely suck from the every bottom of every heart, that that moment in your life was interfering with your success today? Yeah. And like a met? Like that’s where that’s the part that I think that’s the importance of the work that you do. Like, these are the things like we’re trying to, we think we’re over them, or we think we’re past them. And then, you know, like, I can think about, you know, I’m divorced. And I can think about the challenges I have with my ex husband in Good grief, Dwight, here’s the last person on Earth, I want to be in the way of my successes today. Right, like so. So this is such important work, because it’s easy for me to say, No, I’m done. I’m over that. And

Tanya English 16:28
I’ll tell you what happens when you do that. When I just was working with a relative of mine the other day on this? And I said, Have you dealt with this situation? What happened five weeks ago to you? He doesn’t I had a really bad situation with somebody who I used to look up to. But I don’t talk to him anymore. So I’ve dealt with it. Oh, no. No, you have, right, right? When you decide that you’re going to cut somebody out of your life, that’s a loss. That’s grief, and you haven’t dealt with it just because you decided you’re not going to talk to them anymore. So

Karen Yankovich 17:02
they’re experiencing energy blocks in those cases like so we know that these people have we are having energy blocks, right? How are we experiencing those energy blocks as

Tanya English 17:11
grief that is not that you’re not able to get over as the recurring thought that keeps saying to you, you should have said this, you should have said that you should have done this, this all this shutting and on yourself and other people, it comes out as reacting to something in present time and the reaction doesn’t match it like getting really upset over something that has nothing to do with what’s going on at the present time. Because at the present time, somebody didn’t put the right spoon on the table. Right. But you freak out, as people like to say, and you have and you go off the off on a tangent and get so upset. This is another indication that something’s wrong. If you’re crying all the time, if you’re there’s so much grief in there and you can’t let it out. I just wrote a text to somebody who hurt me seven years ago, and I went, you know what, this is still hurting me. And I’m done. I’m going to tell you what you did. And here’s what happened. And, and it was a cathartic for me. I don’t really care what they thought, but I needed to get it out. And so that’s what I did. And it wasn’t like they didn’t care. But it’s not. It’s not about them. It’s about me. And I understand what people say like, Yeah, but it’s just so selfish. It’s not selfish. What you’re doing is taking care of yourself. This stuff has been brewing head

Karen Yankovich 18:36
is such a dynamic right there taking care of yourself is not selfish is something we all should be saying.

Tanya English 18:42
I told somebody recently, I said, Well, what I really do is help people love themselves better. Love themselves more. And she said, Well, that sounds narcissistic. I said, Well, narcissism is me telling you how great I am. That’s narcissists. Right? That’s not the same as loving yourself. Loving yourself as treating yourself like you would treat your best friend. Like, would you would you lie to your best friend? Right? Would you to keep telling them? Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. Right? Because what’s gonna come back out of that you don’t understand. This is a big deal to me. And they would go Oh, yeah, just forget about it. And you’re like, No, that’s that’s not I can’t see you can’t forget things. You can forgive them, and then they don’t have power over you anymore. Like, the reason why I wrote that yesterday, right? I don’t want to to have power over me anymore. So I said, here’s what happened, and I’m not interested. And that those kinds of things. When you’re ready to do that, you’ll do it. You’ll do it. And it’ll be like, Oh, I looked at that burden. One of the things that I do with people is I go in and we find out where those things are, and it’s totally subconscious. So you can’t do it yourself. Right? You can’t find out what you’re saying. Consciousness doing yourself unless you have a lot of training on how to do that, which I can train you how to do that. But it’s really important that you have another set of eyes. We’re not meant to do this by yourself. Right? So

Karen Yankovich 20:13
it’s so important, you know, we’re two or more gathered

Tanya English 20:15
there I am also that’s what sources, right? So when we come together, then we can both relay what we’re getting, and have it mean something. So

Karen Yankovich 20:26
how else I’m gonna say I’m assuming by like, kind of what you did with that text is one way of just kind of like stopping the negative patterns that are happening, right? What are other ways we can stop the negative patterns that are happening in our

Tanya English 20:37
lives? Well, I’ll teach you one right now. And that’s four count. Breathing is so simple. Okay, so it’s really simple. And if you just follow along with me in the next 32 seconds, you’ll feel different. So let’s do it. Let me ask you, and anybody who’s watching or listening to this, put where do you are in your mind? Where are you are on your stress level right now? It’s the day before Thanksgiving, we’re doing this. So there’s a lot of people that are stressed.

Karen Yankovich 21:04
Hey, so are you in a one to 10? I’m an eight. Yes,

Tanya English 21:08
she’s an eight. Okay, good. So, we’re going to do this breathing exercise. And in 32 seconds, that number should come down. So let’s do this. So exhale all your breath out. And breathe in to a count of 41234 Hold it in 1234, exhale through your nose. 1234 hold it out. 1234, inhale, 1234 Hold it. 1234 exhale, 1234, hold it out. 1234 breathe normally. Okay, how do you feel,

Karen Yankovich 22:02
I definitely feel a little better. I definitely feel a little better.

Tanya English 22:05
Maybe you’re seven now. And then maybe

Karen Yankovich 22:07
even maybe even a six. Because I can’t let myself get worked up. And part of that what I needed to do in that moment was just unwind a little.

Tanya English 22:15
And you’re not. And here’s the thing, a lot of people think if they unwind, like you said, they’re going to completely unwind, right, like, you’re gonna be left as a puddle on the floor. That’s not gonna happen, right? It’s not gonna happen, you’re still going to be you. This isn’t some kind of mind trick. It is in the sense that you’re taking over a subconscious pattern breathing, you’re doing it consciously. It’s the one thing that connects you to life. You can live without food for days, you can live without water for a while, for minutes without breathing your day. So you’re connecting yourself to life, you’re putting that intention in there that I’m I’m about to calm down. And this is going to balance fight or flight and rest, digest and heal. So when you go into a fight or flight pattern, blood pressure goes up, breathing goes up, eyes dilate, all these things happen, your bladder control might be gone, right? You might faint because all the blood goes to your periphery, and you fall over and faint. Your body’s doing that so that it will start breathing again and be normal. So your body’s going to take over when you’re in trouble. Okay, so that’s fight or flight response. If you just let that happen and you don’t do anything about it, it takes hours to come out of that. That’s why EMT workers have a 10 year shorter life expectancy.

Karen Yankovich 23:37
Wow. Wow.

Tanya English 23:40
So when you’re doing something that actually actively brings you back to rest, digest and heal, like for count breathing. There’s other things too, that this is the easiest one to show you in this rectangle here. So when you do that, you’re telling your body I’m listening. I’m taking this time and I’m going to do it and that was 32 seconds Come on. Wow. That’s whales in traffic.

Karen Yankovich 24:06
Right I get that I get that. Alright, so I don’t want to spend a ton more time because we’re we’re getting close but I do want to ask you quickly though. I know a big part of the work you do is founded in music. So tell us a little bit about that. Why music and how does that impact all the

Tanya English 24:22
Blues as a healer and I love blues music and have always loved it since the first time I heard Muddy Waters. Sing manage boy Oh, this is different.

Karen Yankovich 24:36
Tanya is a Jersey Shore girl even though she’s not there now. So Tanya, and I can relate when she says that I picture you know I picture like I can almost imagine where you were when you heard that song.

Tanya English 24:48
Well, it was it was a long time ago and I moved to the Iowa to go to chiropractic college Iowa borders. One of the borders is the Mississippi River. The other borders the Missouri River. All right. And so we’re between these two rivers and Mississippi River Vic’s biter back is from Davenport, Iowa. That’s where chiropractic was born is the only place on the Mississippi where it travels east to west. So we call it where, where the Mississippi is subluxated. That’s where chiropractic was started. And so lots of blues music in this area, and lots of blues musicians and I met a bass player turned out to be my husband, and bass

Karen Yankovich 25:30
players, I get that. Just some about those bass players.

Tanya English 25:34
Yeah, you know, there’s some really good jokes about that. But anyway, so I met him and and when I was starting chiropractic college, and as I was working my way through, he was playing in a blues band. And we were going to the blues fest, which is right there on the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. We went to the blues fest. We were there at the same time we met the next week. And the rest is kind of history. But at the end of my time at Palmer Chiropractic College, I was pregnant, and we were waiting for our son to be born. And things took a turn. And he was still born. And so I said that I know this is important for me to pay attention to because as a healer, first of all, I had a lot of questions about how could this happen. And second of all, show me what I need to know so that I can help more people through something like this. And because I’m a student and observer, as well as the participator. And we I said just put me where I need to be for healing to happen. And so we were at the blues fest that summer. And I said I want to go in and see the blind Boys of Alabama, because I’ve heard them so much. And I want to see them in person. So I went to the 10 stage Edwin to the main stage to watch the band he wanted and I had a healing like, no, no other in that performance that day. I mean, I felt waves and waves of love, just washing through me, surrounding me. I felt so loved it was out and that was there were strangers I had no I didn’t know anybody there. It was amazing. And so, as that experience happened, I came back out we met in the middle between the two stages. And he looked at me he goes, Are you okay? And I said, Oh yeah, I’m really, really okay. Because I knew in my knower in my nowhere in my heart that I was being held in love. That love was surrounding me. And that I was supported by the love that was there for me. And there was more than that. So I got this really major sense of how much love there is. Fast forward. So went through that experience. I have lots of stories about that, as was very intense experience. And as we were moving through I also had another son after that he’s now 27. And we had to I had two bonus daughters Ed’s from his previous marriage that lived with us. And as that happened when they were growing up and moving away, we started our blues band. And I was singing with his band every so often. And then people were like, Why aren’t you guys doing a band together? So about 13 years ago, we started the tiny English band. And we’ve been playing all around and ended up on stage at Kingston mines with Joanna Conner once and I mean just amazing things I’ve played at the Mississippi Valley blues fest now twice, bringing healing with the blues, right back to the stage where I had my healing experience.

So this is so this music now is just infused in everything you do all of the healing that you do, you have almost coined the phrase healing with the blues, right? And that’s a big part of healing. Go there. Yeah, we’re we’re gonna put links to all that in all the places. So you have a place where people can experience your work personally with this powerful personal affirmation PDF and audio. Right, so we’ll put a link, can you tell us a little bit about that?

Tanya English 31:04
Yeah, the the thing that will start the ball rolling is if you start telling yourself what you really want, telling the universe what you really want, and writing it in present tense, writing it down, not typing it, writing, it makes a difference. You’re transmuting, that energy of what you’re thinking about that brings you joy, hope, love, excitement, anticipation, expectancy, those are all the things that will bring stuff into your life. So if you’re expecting presents for your birthday, that feeling like I know it’s gonna be great. And you’re counting how many sleeps until you get your presence. That kind of anticipation is what’s bringing things toward you. Right? So it’s easy for you to do.

Karen Yankovich 31:54
