Or if I forgot, is it a bake sale?

Oh my gosh, I'm racing to the store, picking up cookies and trying to package them in a Tupperware so I don't feel like my kid doesn't think I actually baked the cookie.

We do things right because we are doing the best that we can every day.

And I think for us to say to one another and have these open conversations of,

I've got this, thank you for helping me, or reaching out and asking for help.

I now have a group of moms at school where we are all working together.

It's like, I can't do this today, can you help?

Yeah, I can do that.

And instead of being critical of one another, oh, she didn't bake her own cookies, it's like,

We support one another.

And that is what I think is, I think, you know, for me is I've stopped trying to be perfect because no one's perfect.

And I've started to laugh at myself more and be vulnerable and to just be like, you know, I don't have it all together today and be okay with that.

You know, and I think that has taken time.

Because in the early days of my business, I felt like I was always being judged as this girl from Texas who, you know, in Austin where it was very tech savvy, you know, environment.

I'm starting a fashion brand where, you know, I was laughed out of boardrooms asking for, you know, investment funding.

Well, no, I mean, it was just a different world.

And they wanted me to be a tech company.

And I'm not a tech company.

I was a jewelry designer.

And, you know, I think then I felt like, well, I can't let anybody think that I'm not super smart and I don't have this.
