We're in this forced slowdown.

Where am I going?

I'm living in Singapore, by the way, right now.

And I'm like eight and a half months pregnant with my son.

So it was just a moment of deep self-reflection and really deciding and trying to figure out what my next direction was.

And I just knew I wanted to fight.

I knew I wanted to do it again.

And not because I wanted to just come back and win and,

One of the things is because I wanted an opportunity to do it the right way for once.

I had done it the hardest way possible and I'd still managed to become a world champion.

And I wanted to know what it would feel like if I could do it with synergy and work with myself.

And I wanted to really shake the hand of the woman who is the best version of me.

And I got to do that.

I got to do that.

So that was the feather in my cap.

And that's what makes me feel like there's nothing I'm missing.

I've turned over every stone in this sport.

I've worked through the most, you know, the deepest adversities.

in my life and I've unpacked things and I've I've done what I set out to do and that was bigger for me than winning a world championship what does that tell you about finding your limits you know it I think it tells me that we're limitless I don't even think I found my limit to be honest yeah but time will change the ways that you want to approach the pursuit of your limits

And when you fulfill certain buckets in your life, it feels really good to move on to the other ones.
