It's really easy to be grateful when everything's

But learning to be grateful for the parts that suck because you know that they're there to teach you a big lesson. I think that's like gratitude. You know, the rest is gratitude 101. This is like AP gratitude.

Well, I was a publicist for my whole 20s and I was born to be a PR girl. Like I was just born to do it. I loved that job, but I was always fighting against myself because PR, as you can maybe imagine, I don't know if you know a lot about the world of public relations, but especially in New York City, it's like champagne and cocaine and models and bottles. And that's just what it is, you know?

And it was a very easy job for me to lose myself in. I was doing a lot of nightclub and hospitality hotels, you know, PR for those types of places. I was out all the time. You felt like you had to be out like doing drugs in the bathroom with the writers from page six, because that's like how you got further in your career. And it's like, it was hard.

It was very hard to get sober in that environment. For a couple of years, I was actually the publicist for Crowbar, which is the biggest nightclub in New York, Chicago, Miami. So like literally in the belly of the beast. So there was a lot of... And I think this happens to a lot of addicts. You get your whole identity wrapped up in that. Without the drugs, am I even me anymore?

Because am I even a publicist? Am I even cool? Am I even part of New York nightlife? When I came out on the other side, I really had to give myself a little time to get my sea legs. And to be honest, I had to take a little time away. I went back to my sport. Fun side note, I'm a horseback rider. So I had to... Burn it to the ground and build it back up.

I took three years to go teach riding to young women and go back to the working outdoors and getting dirty and working with animals. And then after three years, I woke up and I was like, okay. I'm ready to go home. I was in LA at the time. I'm ready to go back. And I came back to New York and I hit the ground running.

What happened on the other side of that is the part I always tell when I'm up keynote speaking, which is this incredible, I started falling up. And it was not even, I didn't get any new accreditations. I didn't learn any new skills, but as a by-product of showing up, as a new, different, whole version of myself because I did the work.
