Hello stitched over it.
There's so much about failure and how great it is.
But we don't really celebrate failure and sort of talk about it that way.
And I did – I was very aware that at some point they were going to grow up and look back at that and go, oh, how did my mom show up during this time?
Or, oh –
I'm not scared of this setback in my own career because I saw my mom get fired very publicly.
And I saw her go and have some awesome career after.
At that time, I figured it would be – look, at that point, I think once you get fired, you kind of go, hmm, I can better myself.
It's actually very liberating.
And I will say in retrospect –
But there's nothing I have learned more from than that.
No matter what.
Learned about myself.
I think as much as we say, oh, my job's my identity.
I have all this.
It's not that.
You do have to sort of then go, ooh.
It was more of my identity than I thought.
I never really thought.
