And I treat the idea of looking after myself as part of my job.

And I'm kind of extremely guarded about my time and my energy, extremely boundaried about the things that I say yes to.

And I think that that can come across as really, really selfish to people.

But that's not something that I spend any time worrying about because I'm kind of me first.

Yeah.

And it's a really good practice.

You know, because if you try to please everyone, like you will be miserable a lot of the time.

But if you try to please yourself most of the time, you know, you're going to be like default happy.

I'm an eight most days.

I'm like, I'm so happy with myself because it's just me against me.

It's like I'm really not worried what everybody else is thinking, but I'm super.

I have such a high idea of myself and I have such high expectations on myself.

So it's not about setting the bar low.

It's just about like who gets to measure.

And I just decided it's me.

You know, my mum was so and is so pivotal in my life.

And I think the number one thing that she taught me and all of my sisters was how much hard work goes in to anything.

My mum worked hard to pay every bill.

She worked hard to get us dressed and to send us on school trips.

She worked hard just like every day.
