That dense women's confidence, more than losing a job, more than potentially having to sell a house,

It wasn't even like dismissing.

He would actually out loud mock my dreams.

Now, that brings me down.

All these things that we think of as being stress, having a relationship that brings you down will be one of the top things that sucks your confidence out and erodes you.

That made me more hesitant to go after my dream.

That made me more insecure to speak my dream because I was like, well, what if this is silly?

Right?

Like you start to doubt yourself.

Now, flash forward, I'm with someone like my husband who uplifts me, who contributes to my confidence.

And so once I really identified that, I was like, I have to talk about my past toxic relationship before I met my husband.

He's the one where I'm like, oh my God, I'm going to do this book.

Now, the reason being, he, my ex, was the person that was trying to hold me down, hold me down from my dreams, my goals.

I don't know what I'm doing.

And he's the one that's like, you got this, babe.

So I'm building my confidence as I'm taking off what they say, they build the plane as you take off.

I wanted to come to America and he just used to mock them.

So it's like, I'm building my confidence about writing a book as I'm writing the book.

And it wasn't kind.

It wasn't even like dismissing.
