It was miserable.

And so I make sure that I tap into myself every quarter.

And so

Until I do, until I've created different mechanisms for any woman out there to get confidence, so whether that's my YouTube channel, my book, the audio podcast, my Instagram, I'm still not done.

If I'm going to be honest, I just ask myself, am I happy?

Do I love my business?

Do I still want to be on YouTube?

Do I love being business partners with my husband?

I ask myself that every quarter because I never want to ever get in a place now where I'm on autopilot and I'm not addressing whether I'm happy or not.

And so I'm going to keep going because I so believe in that mission.

And the important thing, though, is to not get so dogmatic in what you do and your beliefs and your goals that it becomes detrimental to your enjoyment.

And what I mean by that is that's how I got stuck for eight years.

I was like, oh, I'm just going to support my husband.

He needs my help.

I will catch myself even now saying should and shouldn't.

And then that one year turns into two years, turns into five years, and you start to sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice to the point where you end up losing yourself.

And what I've learned is in real time, I stop myself.

Now, the reason why is because we have a belief system that sometimes doesn't serve us, but we don't realize it because we go on autopilot.

So I will no longer do that.

So if I feel like right now I end up sacrificing myself, I will shut my YouTube channel down.
