Yeah. Well, I mean, in any other circumstance, you might as well say that it is a terrible disease. Like you have a thing growing inside of you. Usually a thing growing inside of you, not a thing you want. I think that sounds bad. You know, human life. This is how it happens. We're a bunch of animals. It's really crazy.

Like going through pregnancy just shows you like we're not elevated in any way. We're a bunch of animals doing animal things. You are beyond nine months pregnant right now, right? Like literally beyond it. Yeah, I am. We were not supposed to be recording today because you were supposed to already be on maternity leave.

Right. But just to be really, really clear before we get into this, what we're going to talk about today is we're going to talk about stepping back and what you're feeling in this moment because you... You and I, we work like crazy. And you've built this company and now you're going to take a big old break from it. And that's scary.

Which is why you're here today because... So just for context, so everybody understands, the episodes with you and I that people hear every week are recorded every other week for us. We set aside a bunch of time and then we record a bunch of episodes in a row. And two weeks ago was supposed to be the last one. And then we were supposed to say, bye, Nicole, have a wonderful maternity.

And you were like, no, if I haven't had the baby, we're going to make another recording, which is crazy, but also says a lot about how dedicated you are to your work. How is it staring down, stepping away? How are you feeling about that?

Just to be clear, the vast majority of the time, almost all the time that people have heard you, you have been on mic in a studio, which was actually just in a bedroom in your home that you would set up as a studio. And now that bedroom is taken over by a baby. So you had to go find another place to put that microphone.

You know, what's interesting is. this metaphor that you had has evolved because, so work was your first baby and that baby had its own little nursery in the form of a studio in your home. That's right. And then the baby had, the work baby got kicked out for an actual baby, which is forcing the work baby to grow up and to become like a work child or a work young adult. Yeah.

And, and for a while you were like, well, but maybe they can both be babies and they can both have their own little nurseries at home. But you're thinking, no, no, no. Like this is, this is, this is actually like to have a child is in some way to accelerate or to force the evolution of the other things in your life, which, which is exactly what it's worth.
