Yeah, that's a good question. That's a beautiful question as well. There are many divining moments for me personally, but one of the last ones is actually becoming a mother. And you can't think about these things, about you get a baby, you get a child. How is it going to change it? You can't think about it. You can maybe fantasize it or have it in your mind.

But you can think about how, what an impact it has on your life. And for me is that before I had a very structured life, like next to the structured, I as well, some freedoms have freedom moments in that structure, but it was more disciplined. Okay.

between your giving that energy, the attention that it needs and the love it needs to the child, but as well to yourself. So the first things when a child enters your life, it's overwhelming. It's like everything goes to the child. So you need to find really a new balance between how are you living your life as a mother, but as well as an individual, as a person.
