If you're not like around me, you're not going to see how I move.

You're not going to understand like the pace of what we're trying to do, what the company is all about.

So I think that that is something in culture right now that we've just got to specifically for women.

Stop looking for balance.

Look for the things that you want and go after that and understand like the timing of your life.

I also think the timing of your life is a really important one and something I think about like this idea of,

that women have been told just wait and wait and wait to have a child.

There is no perfect time, but there is a biological reality, right?

I'm not advocating for teen pregnancy, but I'm also saying waiting until you're 39 years old probably isn't a good idea.

So the idea that you've got to find this mystical partner that arrives on a white horse and solves all your problems, I'm like...

Find someone that you love and have a baby like maybe slightly earlier than what you've been told.

It won't be the end of your life.

It's OK.

Like it's just it's OK.

And I think that what happened is that like people got so scared because modern parenting has gone bananas.

Like parenting didn't get more difficult, but the expectations got difficult.

And that's why in this book I talk so much about having a vision for yourself first.

not vision boarding, not manifestation.

Like how is it that I want to live?

What is important to me?
