The perfectionism almost killed me more than the addiction. It crippled me and it became something that I almost lost my life to. And I ended up in a treatment center for six months of my life. These were prescription medications that were being prescribed to me that I had become dependent on and was taking them in a way that was not prescribed.

A 0% chance. Number one, I wouldn't be alive today. You don't think you would have lived another eight weeks? I was that close, like my body was shutting down.

I want you to not be embarrassed about the things that you went through, especially those things that are dark and a little seedy and feel a little sketchy to you and that you don't want to say at the PTA meeting. It's me. It's me to have sat by this beautiful peony arrangement with my face on a book.

That is a powerful part of my story because I think that people count themselves out of their dreams because of things that they went through in their past. I want you to remember that this is the face of addiction.

That this is my office and I've got six amazing girls that work for me and my businesses do millions of dollars in revenue and this is my husband and these are my kids and this is what my home looks like. But I also want you to look at my face and remember that this is the face of addiction.

Yes. I love that you started with that because of all of the things that happened to me in my life, overcoming that is really one of the biggest obstacles that I had to overcome to get to where I am today. Because perfectionism is like, you know, it's like a drug. I was addicted to it. And you said it in my intro, you know, born the oldest of all these cousins, the oldest of all of my siblings.

I was destined, I think, to be a perfectionist because I thought, I'm here. I'm the example. I'm the oldest. I had this amazing family that I wanted to set a good example for and be all that I could be. I was born, I was a singer and I had this talent as a young girl and I was on stages immediately as a six-year-old. And I was really primed to be a perfectionist.

And, you know, Jamie, it wasn't crippling to me until later in life. You know, I did the Miss Kentucky pageant and Miss America pageant. And I think pageants really multiply perfectionism because you are literally standing on a stage and they are judging the way that you look and speak and walk and sing and are.

And we signed up for that, you know, which is it just makes anyone that is a perfectionist, it makes them lean into that 10 times more, I think. But when I really feel like I overcame it was when I went through my crisis point in my life and my low. And it's something that I shared in my book that took me a really long time to share because I was a perfectionist.

Because that part of my story, I kept quiet for so long. And so I'd gone from this, you know, little country girl with big dreams, you know, achieving my dreams, some really big stages and achieving all that I could as a young person, setting this great example for my family.
