I lost nine guys that day who went to high school with me. My brother-in-law didn't go to work as a fireman that day. When the second building came down, they all died. He didn't, thank God, as that is. And that December, I ended up saying to my husband, I need a baby. I don't know. I'm 41 years old. If I don't have this now, I don't know what to do.

And the universe has been very sneaky and wonderful to me. But when I went in, I ended up doing in vitro. And the doctor says, well, you're not pregnant. You're very pregnant. I'm like, excuse me? He's like, you're going to have twins. And when he told me this fact, Mick, and I know you've got kids, this is one of those moments that only one in five billion people have ever had.

Your children were conceived on March 20th, my mother's birthday, the first year she passed away. And they were due on December 7th, the first year that my dad passed away. And I ended up having boy-girl twins. Now, when you just look at that story. So when they told me that, that moment of that conception and I'm like, I'm going to have a great, healthy pregnancy. I'm going to be fine.

I literally worked all throughout my pregnancy. I did movies and TV and infomercials and carried 39. I pushed out two healthy babies, 39 and a half weeks pregnant. And they came home with me two days later. Well, 22 years later, I'm in business with both of those babies.

And this is because I not only wanted to matter, but I must have instilled in them that it was very important that mommy matters. And I know that sounds crazy. I stepped aside for a while to raise them. I never stopped working because I could hear the universe say, if you stop, you never go back. Don't do that. Don't lose your physical. My mom was 260 pounds my entire life.

And I remember looking at her at 17 when I left the house for the first time. And I said, I love you so much, mom. She was a Ukrainian hoarder of a bit. And she went through her version of life as an only child. And what she did, I said, I love you, but I don't want to be you. And I set out on a path because mattering is literally what it is. So at 17, my daughter comes downstairs during COVID.

And for the first time in my life, my beautiful husband had been on a motorcycle accident. He's a professional bodybuilder. He was crushed. He sat in a wheelchair for six months, lost all of his muscle. It was a very, very tough beginning of COVID for us. I remember sitting at my desk. My daughter comes downstairs. She's like, mom, what are you doing? And I'm like, Nothing.
