I take time to shut down and really go inward and ask myself every time I have a big decision, what feels right?

And even if it's hard to make a decision, whether it's a no or a yes,

If it feels aligned with your values and who you are, like it never is a mistake, ever.

Well, no, I think about it with my own children because as a parent, it's very easy to see them as –

You know, a lot of parents, they view their children as extensions of themselves.

And I really try not to do that.

Like, they are their own people, just like I'm my own person.

Sometimes in the context of a broader public narrative, everything is sort of commingled and related.

But we're all our own people.

We obviously have conditioning.

We have learned behaviors.

We have some of which are great, some of which we spend part of our adulthood learning.

unwinding, but we're all like fundamentally unique and special.

And I work really hard to make sure my kids see themselves, each of them individually, that they know how much I love them as like perfect, complete human beings, not

I love you because of this accomplishment or because of this sort of external validation that you've received because you're sort of perfect as you are and like in your essence.

So my parents taught me a lot, a lot.

I love them so much.

I like them in some ways.

I'm very dissimilar to them in other ways.

But even though I was like the peacemaker in our house, I was also like very like true to myself.
