I was just really lost.

Really, really lost. And the second I stopped running, I was just tired of running. I was like, for what?

I think I knew that there was like this... box inside of me that I had like chains locked up. I didn't even know where the key was. I was like, no, no, no, it's good. We can just like shove that down as far as possible. And I, but I knew throughout all of this that if I just opened the box, sat with it, slowly unpacked it, that it would be okay because I knew that all the answers were there.

My answers were all inside of me. It's never going to be outside of me. And

That was another way of numbing out.

Oh, look, these people like me. Look at these followers. Look, I'm number one on a call sheet. And listen, let me preface with, I love what I do. My job has saved my life in so many ways. The fact that I get to create and collaborate... it's just blows my mind that I get to do that. But it was such a, uh, a fancy bandaid for a long time.

Um, because it was because my success was completely running parallel with my struggles.

It's really weird. It's really weird.

Exactly. And I felt like my, um, issues with alcohol or numbing out were getting worse.

Yeah.

I was really clever about my, my, my ways. Um, because I wasn't drinking during the week because my job was important to me. But when I would go, I would go like weekends were mine. I was like, you know, the weekends are mine. And, and you know, I, they normally were blacking out and not remembering what I did.

And luckily I, you know, had people, you know, I was safe, but how I mentally and emotionally functioned, I don't know. Like I have, I have memories of being at work and like truly having to walk away because I was like, I was like, people, people know what's going on. Like I, I, I wasn't there though. Like a part of me was not there because I was just, it was survival.

It was like fight, what is it? Fight or flight all the time. And it, I just now, before we started, you were like, you feel so grounded. And it's just, I just now after three years, my nervous system is like, oh, we can relax now.

It does.

But it's true that when you truly honor your truth and live from the most authentic place. Because I had similar feelings. I was like, after I did the podcast, I was like, well, my career is over.

Bye, Hollywood. You know, but I was welcomed with so much warmth and so much love. And so it actually I could still cry thinking about it because I never thought I was deserving of that. And it just goes to show that when you honor that, who you are, there's no one else on the planet like you or me.

And when you live in that truth, people, they have no choice but to, they don't have to like you, but they can say, damn, I respect that.

For a long time. But also, to add another layer to that, being your authentic self and not caring if people don't like you. Because if you're truthful to you, and that's the best feeling for me. I don't know if you relate to this, but there's really nothing I would change. I mean, there's always growth and evolution of self, but there's nothing I would change about myself. I'm not hiding.

There's no skeleton. No.

I'm like, there's some things that go with it.
