If something has to give, it has to change eventually.

Because I think... Or there's a lot of silent people maybe who they've stopped posting, right?

Like, even that.

Like, that silent period is really big.

Because for me, that was five years.

I didn't post.

I was just sort of taking things in.

And...

hopefully like my story as an example, it helps people who are maybe going through that transition to orient towards something where they can like relate to bits of my story.

And then also hopefully not think I'm a right wing nut and like write me off, which does happen a little bit.

I mean, I think it's going to have to come from the people who are still in it to be ready for it, right?

And again, my experience of having my son and living through COVID were two shifting experiences that I was open to it.

And so I think it has to come from the person.

Because again, it's like if I had the answer to that, I would be like a millionaire because that's what everyone wants to know.

And I get messages a lot that are like,

oh my God, help me, you're giving me hope for my daughter.

I can't reach her because she's so this way.

And so I think also just in person, showing up as a normal, kind, good person in your life and how you act in your life.

I think for me, that was interesting because I would see people who were very conservative, but they also had a lot of really lovely values.

And I would be like, wait a minute, they're kind of a better person than I am.
