Yeah, yeah.

I know we could be here for weeks and days talking about this because you're right.

It is such a systemic issue.

I couldn't help but think too when you're talking about bring women together.

And I know how you talk a lot about your kitchen table girlfriends and how integral they have been to your life.

And I think every woman can feel that when you have your girlfriends, like you say, love Brock, but

they're your sanity.

Those girls, we get each other.

The flip side, though, is still living in this patriarchal society.

It breeds competition between women because there is not enough room for all of us.

So there's 90 people in the room and the three women are coming in.

How can you not feel competitive?

And then I think about you in this situation.

It's like,

By society's standard now, you are the friend to be jealous of, right?

How have you worked through the competitive dynamics with girlfriends and tried to keep it not competitive?

I mean, I think that my audience needs to hear that because I think it's very...

present right now in a lot of people's lives we've got a lot of you know 18 to 30 40 year olds listening and it's like you're leaving maybe college did you get the job who's moving who's got the boyfriend who's got the thing and it's it there's so much

clouded competition because you think, well, oh God, she got married first and I haven't yet, or she had the kid and I didn't yet.

Let's talk about that.
