Oh, yes.

I actually saw that woman recently who was sitting there and thought it was so amazing that I'd had that conversation with my husband in public that we laugh about it now.

Kind of no different in a way, right?

At the end of the day, it's even more important that both of you are happy because you're going to see each other every day.

I have to negotiate with people that are very close to me all the time, you know, my own team, my own staff.

And so I try to take...

emotion out of the equation, which is something that I talk about a lot in this book, like managing your emotions and making sure that your decision making isn't coming from an emotional place, because we all have fear, we all have guilt, we all have things running through our head that really can govern our decisions.

And so when I'm in a personal negotiation, I'm trying not to let the emotional piece of it, how much I love you, how much I need

joy we're gonna have together how angry you make me sometimes I'm trying not to make my decisions from that basis and I am the start with yourself girl which means I start with myself what do I want what do I need what are my principles what are my values what do I need to get here and I'm really serious about that because as a mother of four I think people find it kind of hard to take like the idea of

that I would put myself first, but I do.

And I do it kind of unashamedly because I know when I'm good, everything around me is good.

It's better for my kids.

It's better for my team.

It's better for everyone.

And so I don't shy away from that idea of having friends

very high self-value and self-worth because I really think it works out for everyone.

Yeah.

If mom is good, everybody's good.

Everybody's good.

Protect what you brought in.
