And so it
coming up with different
Or maybe not different, expanded de uh definitions of what
you know, courage and confidence and bravery can look like because it's not uh she's actually she's reading the tale of Despero right now, right?
So it's not the
the needle through the belt turned into a sword and this mouse who thinks it's a knight running headlong into danger.
It's it's not it doesn't always look like that.
So
That helped a lot.
And then, you know, with pulling away from work, instead of writing articles or doing interviews for the New York Times or CNN or s you know, like in the in the good old days, um, I started to work very intensely with a Girl Scout troop that had some girls in it that didn't have a big exposure to the world or to professional women or higher education.
Um, and so
kind of really dived into that.
So all of the things that I had been doing on a big scale for the last, I don't know, whatever it was, seven years, eight years through the business and the book, instead of dialing that down to the local and the personal and just and really working intensely one on one with girls, um, putting all of putting my
my mouth where my my money had been for so long and and really trying to work on all this stuff on a you know on a on a personal level.
Um
And uh, you know, mentoring a a young girl who's a f a first generation college student, helping her get into college and um
And even like helping a neighbor through domestic abuse, that type of thing, just it it was interesting that once I pulled away from work, all of the big issues that impact girls and women that I had talked about publicly for so many years kind of fell into my lap very personally, um, through people in my life.
And uh it was interesting too then how that changed uh my marriage with my husband, making us much stronger as as the world around us kind of
got real, I guess.
Yeah.
