It's interesting because logically I already knew it.

Logically, I knew that work, the other things that bring me joy were a part of my life that I just thought I would get back to them one day.

I think I logically knew that I liked doing it and I enjoyed it, but it's like I'd kind of tucked it away.

So I had to re-

visit and give myself permission to go actually it's okay to to to do that now and and that actually that is part of connecting to your creativity is a part of what makes you happy day to day so let's do that now and let's and I felt relief it it was a permission piece I think

But there was also, now that I think back, there was also a huge part of me that went, how am I going to do it?

I had told myself the story or there was a huge barrier in how am I physically going to do it?

What am I going to do?

When I'm on a farm with four little kids with no childcare unless we had nannies, which we often did, that we paid, I didn't have any family support locally or family care.

unless we have a paid nanny, which costs money, how am I going to earn an income and do a job from home?

That was a very real question and that I didn't have an answer to.

And it wasn't until over time that it kind of worked that out.

So that's also a reason I'd put it to the side was

a very practical like financial thinking.

What am I going to do that's going to pay for the childcare on the farm when I also need to be involved on the farm?

Yeah, it took some time to figure all that out.

Absolutely.

And at that point in time, that was probably my greatest learning or unlearning that I needed to do was what were those voices and how were they getting in the way of what I wanted to do, how I felt.

what it was stopping me from doing.

There was, I'm sure there was also, there were also some positive voices and there was always love for my children and happy about the life we'd created.
