alchemize my pain a little bit and sort of shift my perspective and shift my way of thinking.

And this isn't like a one and done thing.

Like you said, like being a human in the world is

Pain and struggle just comes with this experience.

It's kind of what being human is about, but it's how we evolve.

It's how we grow.

And it's just something and a practice that I come up against daily or whatever it is, whatever challenges I'm facing each and every day.

And just...

giving myself those moments to accept, but knowing, especially when I went back through my life, especially in the times where I felt completely isolated and completely alone, and seeing that I never was, and that I really did have the love and support around me that maybe I just didn't think I deserved or opened myself up to, the hope comes from now knowing that I can move forward in life

no matter what comes my way, knowing that that is there.

And I only learned that through struggle.

So also understanding that through pain and struggle also comes gifts.

You know, I think we, especially in the entertainment industry, you can always feel like you're going to miss an opportunity or if something doesn't happen, it'll never happen again.

And just really knowing and trusting that

not only the lessons and the gifts, like they will continue to reveal themselves until you are ready to take them until you're ready to walk down that road.

And just knowing that I'm never going to miss anything that's meant for me.

I was able to really see going back through my life, but also, you know, there was a lot of healing, particularly for me around my first marriage.

I mean, it was like a really, it was something that I have wanted to forget and never talk about.

It was really volatile.

It was really toxic.
