I am so thankful that I was a young mother.

My boys...

drove me so much because I wanted to succeed for them.

So they were such a driver of even not wanting to give up when there are times when I felt like it'd just be easier to throw in the towel.

I'd look at their little faces and be like, no, I'm not giving up.

I'm not giving up because of them.

And so having those relationships led me to all of those things that gave me the drive and that just, oh, I want to make this work.

I'm going to do this.

I'm going to make this work.

And I think for any successful person, to have a person that they can be their most vulnerable self with, where they don't have to be the rock star and the know-every-answer.

And if you can have a person in your life that just allows you to be you, the messy, ugly, whatever, insecure at times person, and they love you for that and they're there for you, every strong person needs a rock too.

You know, we need a rock.

We need somebody that we can tether to every once in a while because we're flying high.

But you need that person sometimes in your life that can tether you in a good way, not keeping you from doing things, but know that you're safe, that you've got a place to come home to, a chest to lie on, someone to cry to.

and know that they're not going to judge you.

So I think when you can find a person in your life that brings you that type of peace, and that's I think the key.

It's the greatest feeling.

And you want to say, like you want, oh, it's fireworks and it's this and it's that.

It's all this, you know.

And I now go in my life and I go, I want to breathe easy and free.
