And in the development of what I do as a coach, it just so happens that you're going to have a spirit of faith, resilience, and being able to tap into, oh my gosh, I believe I can jump, just with having a conversation with me.

And that's who I am and what makes my business of being able to empower and instill, whether it's leaders or entrepreneurs.

It had to be as a child.

Like from the film, when you watch the episode, I talk about how as a four-year-old, I was teaching my dolls and made my sister, who is four years younger than me, sit in my classroom.

I cracked up because I talked about how she did it effortlessly, like it was okay.

I was like, I hope I wasn't bullying her, but...

But that superpower with me naturally teaching and educating, I always knew I had that as a four-year-old.

And it was other people, family, that really cultivated it and affirmed me in that to where it was just more...

Brought to life to how I thrive today.

Oh, yeah.

My mom.

It was my mom and my aunt specifically with me just playing school and all of that.

She realized how gifted or talented I was, you know, as a young child in that.

But it really, me, you know, if you're living it, it's normal or natural to you.

It was affirmed when you see other people or hear other people say, oh, this is a gift.

It's funny, I was stereotyping, oh, I don't want to be a teacher, even though I was a teacher literally all my life.

My aunt said, I don't care where you go.

What you do or what you say, you're always going to be a teacher because that's the gift that I had.

And she shared that with me when I was like maybe six or seven years old.

Of course, it didn't register the way.
