We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

It's like you have written three memoirs, not because you believe you're exceptional, but precisely because you believe that you are not exceptional.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

That like this is a state of the human condition.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

And if you believed you were exceptional, all the better for you.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

I'm just saying that your belief that the more specific and intimate the story is, the more universal it is of the human experience.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

happens to be why that you're producing this work.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

That if you were like, look at me, I'm a rare little unicorn and I want to tell you about myself, then the motivation to be curious about that would be less robust.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

Yes.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

I also think there's something...

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

Oh, sorry.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

Go ahead.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

Yes.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

It's like it takes a lot more arrogance –

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

to tell someone they don't have a right to be a main character than just someone who's a main character.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

Yeah, it's audacious.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

It's audacious.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

It's also super interesting what you just mentioned about Virginia Woolf and like the interior story, like the structural value applied to that versus other things.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

And it's just so mirrored in every structural hurdle that we've had.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

You know, where you have like, okay, the domestic sphere belongs to women and the public sphere belongs to men.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

And that is the natural order of things.

We Can Do Hard Things
Amanda’s Breakthrough: Finally Letting Go

And therefore, because we have made those assignments, the domestic sphere will be unpaid, unvalued and be seen as just inherently women inherently desire that.
