And in that moment, I said, oh, no one's coming to save you, Lisa. The person you thought was coming to save you, he's not here. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to stay on this cold bathroom floor? Or are you going to freaking get back up and know that you get to save your own life? And in that moment, I was like, well, I guess I've got to get up.

And I physically got up and I physically went back downstairs. I emotionally sobered up. I got myself back together. I took some deep breaths. I had a glass of water. I went back downstairs and I finished the photo shoot. Now, that story happened in 2000, I want to say 2016, 2017. I remember that story like it was yesterday. Why? Because I remind myself, no one's coming to save you.

You are the hero of your own life. Get the F up. And that's the story that every time I fall metaphorically, every time I fail, I tell myself over and over. And that's the lesson I wish every single person could know because no one's coming to save you. And that's the best news ever. Why? Because now you can stop waiting. Now you can actually do something about it.

You can get back up and you can take action. And that is so empowering.

And here's the reality. I'm not always happy. You know, there are moments where I'm like, I'm stressed, I'm frustrated, I'm overwhelmed, I'm burnt out. I mean, even on this interview, there were two moments where I forgot what I was saying and I'm going through perimenopause right now. And so part of that is I actually have brain fog and you're seeing me in real time handle having brain fog.

And the reality is just like everything else, I have to be honest about it. I have to give myself the grace and then I have to figure out ways around it. So thank you for having me and thank you for saying that. But I want people to know that even in being happy, it takes action. It takes work. I put my hair in a certain way. I wear my Wonder Woman jewelry. I love women.

So coming on and seeing you and talking to you is so energizing. All of this is absolutely deliberate. to make sure that I show up in the way that I want to show up. None of it's by accident. It's not like I have a happy bone that I'm always, you know, like most of the time I'm actually stressed, but I just make fun of myself and I try to be lighthearted about it.

Oh, thank you for having me on. It was such a joy to speak to you.
