Like my worth and my work is very interrelated and connected.

And I think a lot of what we see about motherhood online is that when you become a mother, that has to be your entire whole self.

And that scared the shit out of me because I was like, I don't want to lose all these other parts of me.

And what has been really special is that there's definitely parts of me that have changed, but it's just, I've now have another hat that I need to wear and I don't need to take all of the other hats away.

You have to let a few things go.

Like we can't have it all at once.

That's absolutely, I definitely believe that wholeheartedly, but it's,

you don't lose all of those parts and they're still there.

And that's been really nice to experience.

Do you know what's interesting?

It just adds a different layer to your life.

Yeah, a different layer.

Because for some people that don't have kids, like it doesn't mean that they can't have a full life.

Absolutely not.

But it's like if you go through any huge experience in your life, like for some people that might be changing jobs, a huge breakup, it could be travel, like whatever that is.

I put having a kid in, it's obviously not exactly the same, but just a life-changing experience.

Yeah.

It's going to change your life and it's going to make it fuller.

And it does.

It makes it fuller.
