And I do.

I look up like so many of my staff and so many women.

I do a call every day on the way to the office, eight o'clock.

I get on the phone.

I speak to somebody for half an hour.

But you can't wait for that stuff, right?

You can't let it stop you.

And what I wanted to make sure people understood is we have to make sure that our biggest enemy is not living in our own head.

You know, like I have this friend and I quote her in the book, Diane von Furstenberg, and she says,

The most important relationship you'll ever have is the relationship you have with yourself.

I know I can talk myself into or out of anything.

And so when it comes to like looking for people to help me, I'm like, well, I better be helping myself first.

Because if one of these magical people ever does come to help me, I want to be ready.

And it just turns out that that wasn't my experience.

And so it's like, I feel like I have gifted myself, myself, my whole life.

Right.

It's like I was the best I had.

So it's like I just had to work with that because there was nothing else.

And I feel like that's not a bad place.

There's not a bad thing.
