It sort of just poured out of me, I said, thank you so much for your support, and I know that I'm strong, and I know, because they were all like, oh, we just love that you always get us together and do this, and I said, yes, but strong women need help too.
And I just probably, coming into my 50th year, I want to recognize and articulate that I do need support, I do need help, I can't do it all.
And then I had this moment late last year, stuff was obviously happening, and I was at the end, you know, my cup was really empty, and
And I was just in the shower and I was having this big cry and I was just talking to my little inner child.
And I said to her, I just felt so overwhelmed and resentful and done, I suppose.
And I said to her, what do you need?
What do you need?
And as loud as day, she came back to me and just said, someone to advocate for me.
Wow.
And I just started crying, going, that's it.
I'm advocating for everybody else, but no one's advocating for me.
And that wasn't a victim mentality at all, because I have an extremely divine, loyal, supportive, kind, beautiful husband, incredibly emotionally intelligent daughter, I have incredible family, friends.
But I am still the one that picks up all the pieces.
And so I came down to Simon and he was like, oh my God, what's wrong?
And I just started crying.
I just said, I just need you to advocate for me in terms of when... And it was interesting because he said to me, but you're always so capable.
Like you do everything so well.
And I said, I know because that's the way I'm programmed.
But there's a cost to that.
I don't always want to have to do that.
