you're going to get to that pole. You see that light? After the pole, you're going to get to that light. You see that tree after the light? You're going to get to that tree. And I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. If there's something that you love, go after it, because it's meant for you.

That's so weird. Like, when you do all of that, there's something about it that's just so... fascinating. And wow. And thank you for having me. And I can't believe we're in the flesh for the first time on this show.

You know what I mean? This is so good. And I love your show and I love your life's purpose. It's so beautiful. So thank you for having me in your space. I'm loving this.

Like, you lyin'. Like you lying, right? I mean, you know, as a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions and desires and wishes, but you just don't know what is gonna come for you. You don't know what's in your world or what's gonna come into your world. And I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

And so for self-preservation and protection, we say, I mean, it's probably not going to be that way for me. Or, you know, you know how it goes for me. You do these things. And I remember doing these things. And it wasn't until I stopped doing those things that things really started to change.

So I still have a piece of inside of me that that is that little girl that's kind of like, you know, you protect, you want to protect what might go wrong. And so I find that I do that sometimes, which maybe is what happened when you just rattled off all those things. And I was a little bit like, that is so crazy and weird and strange and amazing at the same time.

Yeah, what do you mean about... When you were growing up. How about yesterday? You know what I mean? How about like three days ago? As a kid growing up, I think some of my fears really circulated around. I remember I felt fearful that I wouldn't... Or I felt like I had to protect myself from being hurt from people that I loved. I remember that. That was a thing.

And I had to figure my way through that. There was a sense of lack that I... was worried about. I was worried about this state of lack or not having enough money or not having enough, not being able to hold on to what you started to get or things like that. I had to do a lot of work around that.

That was a big one because I mean, you really can perpetuate that cycle just simply by the fact that you believe it can happen. And so that was a big one. I think that there was a lot of fear or anxiety or worry around rejection. There was a lot of that, especially as I started to become more a public figure where people could kind of choose to like or dislike.

It was a difficult journey to understand that you're never... going to please everyone, period. And you're going to spend your, you're going to tear yourself apart trying to like make sure every single thing is the way someone else wants it to be. But I had a lot of fear about that. And I really, it was, it was a struggle for me. And I, you know, I wanted to be accepted. I wanted to be liked.
