And then it can bleed over into some maladaptive forms of it. where nothing is ever good enough. You're never good enough. You can push yourself into burnout and you can be really hard on other people too.

So I think those are some of the aspects where you have to really keep awareness of yourself and the self-punishment and the self-torture that can come with this personality type is really something to keep an eye out for.

It's a great question. Two things about this. One, I don't know if there was one. That's my honest assessment. And I may not be the best person to decide that because I'm so in it. And if you talk to anyone who knows me, any of my friends and colleagues, they'll let you know, even my team. I'm the most heads down person ever. Like my thing is I just show up, I get it done.

And then I'm either off, meaning I'm completely unplugged and kind of into another space in my life. And then when I come back, I go heads down again. So because I've been doing this now and it's been 22 years, right? So it's a really long time. And I think going back to the traits, one of my best traits is my consistency trait. So when I first started creating content on a weekly basis.

It was through a newsletter, the cheesiest title ever called Magical Moments. It was awesome. That was the best I could do at that time. And I would send out a newsletter every week nonstop. And then actually once I got a puppy, it was the first dog I ever had in my life, Kuma, he's 13 now. When I got him, I couldn't blog anymore because raising a puppy and training a puppy takes a lot of time.

If anyone listening has ever done it, you know it's a lot of work. And I was like, oh, I need to just turn on my computer because I remembered from my teaching fitness days, I was like, oh, I can easily look at a camera. And so then it became MarieTV. And I'm saying all this because the consistency and the momentum that has built over time. There wasn't one moment.

I think it's the long game that has allowed me to create What for me has been a really beautiful experience of business and a beautiful experience of being able to connect with people.

There were certainly beautiful moments and I hope that there's many more, but I don't think that there was one that really did it.

There were certainly beautiful moments and I hope that there's many more, but I don't think that there was one that really did it. It was the relentlessness of commitment and consistency that I think has helped me create what we have today.

Help me create what we have today.

So this phrase is really, it's the mantra I live my life by. I feel like if my DNA could be words, that would be it. This actually is something beautiful. It was such a gift that was given to me by my mom. So my mom is this really interesting character. She is, she's 75 now. She's still with us. She's awesome. She's super spicy and funny. She is about 5'4".

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

She looks like June Cleaver, which is this character from the 50s, this like Leave it to Beaver show. Very, very kind of pure and all-American looking, but she has the tenacity of a bulldog and she curses like a truck driver. She is so spicy. And she actually grew up the daughter of two alcoholic parents in Newark, New Jersey.

So she really learned by necessity how to stretch a dollar bill around the block like five times. Super frugal. And she had made a promise to herself that when she grew up, that somehow she was going to find a way to a better life.

And I remember sitting around our house in New Jersey on Sundays and we would clip out coupons together because my mom was like, I'm going to teach you all the different ways that we save money. And the other thing that gave her so much joy was the fact that brands back in the day, I don't even know if they still do this,
