So you're always like seeing what you're working towards. And I always have like a little portion that's about events and I want to go to more things and meet people and, you know, I guess networking, but also just like making connections.
And the Cherry Bomb events, like Jubilee is unbelievably cool, powerful, incredible women in the culinary and media space in one room talking, just being themselves. And yet it's so inspirational. It's just women. It's again, it's a space of female enjoyment and just being like, oh, look at how much farther we can all get when we work together. I'm emotional.
I'm on the edge of tears the entire time and it's essentially a conference with delicious food and Bev in New York City. So I have that coming up and I'm just loving it. I'm proud of myself for putting myself more out there. It wasn't a quick process. I learned from you, but I'm still getting better about it and just putting it out there, but truly just realizing you can't do it unless you do it.
So Do what you got to do. It's like everything you want is maybe it's on the other side of like being cringe or embarrassment, right? And the only people that are going to judge me are the ones that are wish they could be doing what I'm doing and don't have the balls to. The massive...
the cojones in your case i still have that little voice in my mind i've always like someone from high school could see this and i'm like who cares who cares i don't see them right you're fine it doesn't matter yeah get past that because it's holding you back what's that thing that's like the people that matter won't mind and the people that mind don't matter boom ours stay there write that down write that down folks

Let me think. Let me think. Hello.
It is completely normal, completely natural. It does not take away from your athletic ability.
Women's rugby is changing and it's really, I think, making the world and people a better place. I don't know what I'm saying, but please keep coming out and supporting and fill these seats.
You can be beautiful and wear lipstick. I wear lipstick when I play rugby because I just feel like I don't have to sacrifice one or the other. Like I can be a beast in the field, but also feel beautiful and wear lipstick.
OK, thanks, guys. OK, I'm going to sign one more thing and then I've got to go take a million pictures.
I'm so excited to join the Bristol Bears and play Premiership Women's Rugby with and against some of the best rugby players in the world. Just a question. Is it going to be this cold the whole time? It's got a little chilly.
It is. They see me through an app all the time. They see me that way and connected with me through social media. So getting to see me play, getting to see me in person is like puts more of like a realness to it. Like I am a real person. That is who I am online. It's who I am in real life. And I'm so happy that they all came. We had so many people come out who've never watched a rugby game before.
This was their first one. So I'm happy that this was a good game, a great day for it.
I want to talk to you all today about imposter syndrome and why people automatically assume that successful women have it.
The thing is, like, athletes and women are so versatile. You can be beautiful and wear lipstick. I wear lipstick when I play rugby because I just feel like I don't have to sacrifice one or the other. Like, I can be a beast in the field but also feel beautiful and wear lipstick. I also am smart. I have a nursing degree. I have a master's in business.
I think for those girls out there, rugby is a really sport that allows you to express yourself in the fullest way possible.
I want to make that World Cup squad next year, and I want to put myself in the best, most deserving position to make it.
And I think for rugby as a whole, this is just a shine light on this league as well, because this is a semi-professional league, hopefully it becomes a professional league, so these girls can play rugby, can fill these stands more, and so little girls can dream of being professional rugby players someday.
