Yeah. And I wonder what is the lie that you were told or that you believed about teen mothers?

That invisibility and I'm going to say the relationship that led to the teen pregnancy. Let's just pause there. So that relationship and then people's response to you of not seeing you as a capable mother, just ruling you out, eliminating you because of your age, that you have been chasing enoughness since then. And that's been many, many years.

Yeah. Yeah. Because everything you've been running from all these years shows up in the stillness. shows up in the silence. So you stay busy, we stay distracted, and we think that's whole, right? We think we're healed, but you're just distracted and busy. And so now you get to be the nurse to yourself. Yeah.

And retrain your nervous system because your nervous system doesn't know how to be settled. And so as you learn to settle, then you'll be able to show up for yourself and for your loved ones. And you are capable and deserving of that. It's just different. So the same way you would be patient with a new nurse is how we have to be patient with ourselves because this thing is new, but it's doable.

So getting to know yourself. Right. And that this is for the first time in your life that you get to actually discover you. And it's not too late. When I talk about returning back to ourselves or healing ourselves, sometimes it's healing myself for the first time. So you're actually not trying to go back to a former self. You've never been this woman that you are creating now.
