And so, yes, at a certain point, no deadline set here or announced, but there's going to be a version of what we're trying to teach children now for grownups so that when you are facing those fears, when that brain bully comes in, you have a proven method to beat it.

And once you beat it, you can become a magnetic communicator, but you cannot fix the symptoms of

which are the ums, the sos, the rambling, until you treat the disease, which is the brain bully.

So that will be out in the world at some point because it is more important than ever that we beat it because it is our currency in this AI-driven world.

How we show up, our presence, and our communication is going to be our currency.

It's going to be how we survive in a world of automation and our jobs being able to be done by robots.

That's one thing robots cannot replace, how you communicate and how you show up in your energy.

It cannot replicate human energy.

And it's going to be super powerful in the future of leadership.

Because I know what it took to get there.

So much so that before this book came out, because I think there's a real misperception that people out there that might have a platform or I'm a former news anchor that you just publish a book and anyone wants it and you just call someone up and they're like, oh yeah, great idea, let's do it.

This was a six year journey from idea to this right over my shoulder.

Six years, the first four years were...

the idea to writing of the idea to pitching it to rejection after rejection after rejection.

And I posted it on Instagram because I saved this letter that I got from my agent that had all the listings of all the projections from every major publishing house.

And I put it on social media so people understood the only reason this book was made was because I just kept going.

And I don't mean it to be like Pollyanna or anything like that.

Like the idea of just keep going is the only thing I know to lead to success.

It's the only way I got to where I was as an anchor.

It's the only way I survived the early days of motherhood.
