Except for at the time, Sirius XM, The Highway was like the thing.

It was like the TikTok, you know, it's like everybody wanted to get played on the highway.

And this is after I'm talking like managers in town telling me I wasn't special.

People on my team telling me to move home.

I had a record label person who still works in the industry literally look me in the face and say, you will never be a star.

And you know, those are things you, I still deal with like that imposter syndrome.

Have you got to look that person in the face and be like, you know, what's fun is I've got to look all of them in the face and I don't have to say anything and I won't because they don't deserve it.

Right.

I hope that they learned.

Don't,

You can't do that to people.

And I carry that.

I mean, truthfully, like when I'm sitting at an award show or I'm sitting, when I was female focus of the year, I'm like, oh my gosh, do I belong?

Do I belong here?

And it's all those years where it was just like, no, no, no.

You're not enough.

You're not enough.
