Absolutely.

So I think the biggest thing was probably becoming a mum.

And I wish it didn't take for me to become a mum to learn this.

I wish, you know, I'd learnt this

on my own, but why do we care so much about what other people think?

You know, if we believe in ourselves, that should be what the most important thing is.

So I think, yeah, having Harper, you know, and being a mum made me think, well, I want to be a good role model for her.

And imagine if one day I said, oh, I really wanted to chase this career path, but I was a bit scared about the reaction from people that I've never met before or probably never meet.

So I thought, well, that would be silly.

I would say to Harper, that's ridiculous.

Chase your dreams, chase your goals.

So I thought, well, if that would be my message to her, then I actually have to go and live that out myself.

So yeah, I think being a mum certainly... And also it just changes your perspective on everything.

Like everything that you thought was so important.

You know, work was my life and don't get me wrong, I love work.

But at the end of the day, it is just work.

I'm still very passionate about my career, but like my family is my priority.

So...

So I think I softened on the perfectionism thing as well.

I mean, I have to still work on it.
