Like I loved when we were 200 miles off the west coast of Ireland, away from everything.

But it's...

It's hard to put it into words, but there's a power in the sea.

And I think the sea is a very feminine energy as well.

So like, you know, you can have a flat calm ocean and 24 hours later, it's a raging storm when you're out there.

So I loved that power.

I don't know.

I probably bothered people more than they bothered me, Clare, if I'm being really honest.

Like very enthusiastic, very driven.

I talk a lot.

I'm full on.

So like some of the advice you get in a military career is to kind of keep yourself in the middle, be the grey person in the class because then you're not under too much heat and you're also taking along.

I wasn't great at taking that advice.

So I was like normally throwing myself into it.

So I think.

For me, learning to understand how I impacted on other people was a big part of the training.

And one thing about the job, you get really tough feedback from the get go.

And when you have someone telling you where you're maybe not reaching the mark, whether it's your physical, whether it's your conduct, whether it's the approach you're taking, you know, you first of all, you take that as reflection on you and you hear it all as bad stuff.

Yes.

Which is natural.
