I don't know. I think a lot of people might be like, hey, I'm building, I'm an entrepreneur. They're starting a new business. They're having a battle of a time. They're feeling stressed out, might've gained a couple pounds. And they know that they're at a four or five and a six, but they're like, but I'm going to get through this.

Validate, validate, validate. There's a reason why they don't want to go to the sleepover. And even if it doesn't make sense to you, it makes sense to their anxiety.
