But I think my mom has this kind of beautiful quality of like a dreamlike wonder where she's very easily – because she can believe things.

And I think that's really wonderful.

And I think, you know, because of my dad, my mom really championed positivity and really championed kind of being two parents.

So she wore a lot of different hats because she wanted to, like, make sure that we didn't feel like there was a gap in our household.

I can talk about both.

Okay, great.

chameleon to behavior in the room so like right now if all of a sudden your body language changed and you seemed upset with me I would immediately go into fight or flight and I would have to actively work and do the therapy I've done to remove my sense of worry about what I could have done to upset you because that was what I was taught to do as a child my father would immediately flip on a dime

And, you know, say things that he didn't necessarily mean.

And I immediately, as a child, you're like, what did I just do to make him do that?

And so there is this level of fight or flight that I'm still working through as an adult.

I think I've got a fairly good grasp on it.

A lot of that has to do with the people that are around me who hold me down.

And the kind of aftermath of Call Her Daddy, my dad, when I called him and told him, I called him right after I did the podcast.

And he was, like, crying on the phone.

And he was like, thank you for loving me.

So it was a really beautiful sentient moment.

Yeah.

Wow.

I called my mom and my brother first and I was like, are you comfortable with me sharing this?

I did not call my dad because it's my story.
