And I would say that the word vulnerability comes to me and comes to mind in this idea that as parents, we think we have to be this authoritative figure, but really it's breaking down those yes sirs, yes ma'ams, that obedience piece of parenting to just have those honest conversations with your children about vulnerability and giving them agency.

Oh gosh. Thank you. Well, to simplify my relationship with John is to say he puts his hand on my back and he just knows. There's a part about the book where I talk about long no and short yes. Oh, I love that part. I meant to bring that up. Long no, short yes in making decision-making. And this is, it's John's phrase, so I'm actually stealing it.

But, and with us, and I write about this, there's not a long no of dating and then, okay, I guess we should get married. It was instantaneous decision-making.

And I feel like I am so grateful that in this world that I've been given John, because through this relationship that we've built over so many years, I truly believe that was maybe one of the only reasons I was able to come around in this lifetime to be able to say what happened to me.

It's definitely changed. I think John could tell you better, but I'm going to say, you know, I've asked the people in my life. I think that there's more stillness. I can't run anymore, which is all for the better. But there are things that, you know, I've slowed down to recognize when I do something, I can understand why I do the things I do, why I am the way that I am.
