And so this pinnacle for me, my date on my calendar was an acquisition.
I'm like, once I can do something that really not a lot of women do, you know, and have this seven figure exit and it, if anything, I almost felt worse because you think it's going to be the thing that makes you feel better.
And I talk about this in the book, there's science behind it.
And Olympians face this where they go to the Olympics and then all of a sudden they are depressed after.
And it's this post-achievement letdown where you have so much focus on a singular moment or a singular outcome that you think is going to
fix or heal or complete part of you.
And when it's not, it can be extremely disappointing.
And so what I am trying to fix this arrival trap of this one side, then I, that we get in our head, we all have it, but it's not going to be the thing.
Like there's no single achievement that's going to cure our ambition.
And so if we realize like all we have
is the process who we're becoming along the way, like the fun experiments, the mistakes.
And there's not like one thing that's going to be this like ribbon cutting feeling, then it gets us out of this singular mindset.
I was with my daughter before I came here and I got her this sticker book.
And she's a big sticker girl right now.
And she wanted to use all of the stickers, you know, all hundred whatever of them in one sitting.
And I started to say, honey, no, no, no, no.
You got to save your stickers.
You can't use them all in one sitting.
And then, Ed, I realized I am about to teach her what I'm actively trying to unlearn.
which is delaying my joy.
