I don't want to think that and I don't want to have that thought because that's horrible and I just want to think this. And you can't control it, right? But what you do have is the spotlight. So all these different thoughts will be coming into your mind and you can just choose what you're giving most of your time and attention to. And that will impact how you feel.

You don't have to eradicate those other thoughts. There are other possible scripts that you could listen to, but you get to choose which ones you give the limelight to.

Yeah. And I'm generally not that public about my personal life a lot, but the reason I kind of shared about that was because I knew there would be other busy moms and dads like me who were tempted to put their own health on the back burner. So

You know, that's just something I would say to anyone out there who is listening, who has any kind of health concern and is tempted to wait and put it off until they're less busy. Because I did. I was six weeks away from handing in the manuscript to OpenWen and discovered a lump in my breast. And I thought, should I just wait until I've got this book off my desk before I go?

You know, I'd had lungs for months before. I knew it wasn't a great, nice process. And I thought, do I have the mental capacity for this right now. And you know, lots going on. But in the end, gave myself a bit of a talking to and thought that's a stupid idea. Went and got the tests and time was my greatest tool. So my greatest weapon against this thing. And now I'm fine.

But so anyone out there who has a kind of health concern and is tempted to put it off, don't just do it. So yeah, I got diagnosed then. So that was about six weeks before I handed the book in. Then I got diagnosed. I was about a week or two away from handing the book in. So I was at that stage where I was kind of reading through, editing, polishing things up, ready for my editor to see it.

And I just happened to be reading through the chapter on when fear shows up. Isn't life funny? Oh my goodness. And I kind of, I read it and I thought, this just isn't, the kind of words I need to hear right now. It was very gentle and a lot of people like that approach, but I just thought I need something much stronger here. So I hit delete and I sat there and then rewrote the whole thing.
