Yeah.

It's an awkward time.

But before we get into that, though, I want to dive into this interview I really liked that you did on ABC's You Don't Know Me podcast.

Oh, yeah.

And you spoke about saying no to an opportunity pretty early on into your career, even though you thought you really should have said yes.

Yeah.

Why was that such a big turning point for you and the way that you approached your career going forward?

You say yes to absolutely everything.

And you're told though to say yes to everything, especially as women.

Like we're told to like climb a ladder, do this, do that.

Like you're grateful if you get an opportunity or you have a job.

So battling with that and being like, hang on, I'm going to go with my gut.

Yeah.

And look, I think you made the right choice.

I hope so.

Trust your gut, guys.

A lot of Australians, though, would have really got to know you, ABC, Brekkie, all that kind of stuff.

But the project is probably where a lot of Aussies came to know your face.
