No one's ever asked me this question and you really just touched upon something that was one of my biggest pain points and insecurities because I was teaching spirituality in the world, not getting paid for it for a nonprofit.

I would stay up from 10 to 2. I slept on the floor in the living room for the first two years because I didn't want to disturb her. And I was Googling how to do Amazon and manufacturing, design, marketing.
