I think, you know, I think he likes me because of this.

And I, the most terrifying question I'd say, what do you like about him?

Really, which is a way of saying, can you gaze in?

Do you know what you want?

What matters to you?

And it really would bring on a panic attack almost because yes, women in general, we've become so good at gazing out that anything that involves gazing in feels panic inducing purely because it's so new.

You are so right about that.

Like panic inducing.

What do I want?

Most of us as women, we know, we only know what we want after we don't get it, but not proactively.

Yeah.

Right.

So I think we just misunderstand guilt.

Mom guilt is one of my favorite topics because I think we don't understand guilt accurately.

Guilt is a very important feeling.

Guilt is a feeling we have when we act out of alignment with our values.

Oh.

When your behavior out here doesn't match your values inside, you feel guilt.

And you should feel guilt because it allows you to say, oh, I'm acting out of alignment with my values.

Thank you, body, for giving me such a powerful feeling that I can reflect on it.
