So my podcast started as an experiment and we're still going strong 100 million downloads later.

I mean, first off, it is such a privilege to be in a position.

But I've realized, and here's what I've really realized, is if you have listened to this whole episode, you recognize the power of trust.

And I want my community to trust me.

And if something isn't in alignment, not only do I feel it, but they feel it.

And so I have had to get so good at discerning what are the right partners?

What are the right opportunities?

What are the right like sponsorships to take on?

Like, is this in alignment?

And I feel that way with every opportunity, whether it is getting asked to speak on stages that I would have once dreamt of being on, but now I'm saying no to, or whether it is hosting a mastermind or all these things.

I could do a million things.

I don't want to.

And I think that I'm just at this...

place in my life where I just recognize that like peace needs to be protected.

And right now in this stage of my life, like my priority is my family and anything that I'm saying yes to is a no to them.

And what is the most important thing to me?

And so, you know, turning down things like recording another social media reel to me, it's like, but this is more time with my kids or this is protecting and preserving the integrity of my followers.

Yeah.

And I think that like boundaries protect what's sacred to you.

And I've just had to relearn this lesson over and over and over again of like boundaries aren't bad.
