There are so many things that are important to your life.
Like I am genuinely a big believer in therapy and everything like that.
But I also think that sometimes, we're talking very specific situations, there are some people who are
going to a therapist in the way that they could have the option if it was available to them to just talk to a friend, you know?
And so not saying that there aren't times and places where therapy is deeply important, but for the most part, there are people that you talk to about certain things.
There's things you go to your mom with or your dad with or your therapist with or a friend with.
And I think a lot of, a lot of, um,
a lot of it is getting zeroed in on who can I pay to make sure I have this experience.
But I then, I then think also the levels of access that you think you have versus, versus what you actually have.
And so, um,
I look at a lot of community that hasn't been fostered yet.
The way that I look at that kid who's like tall and could dunk, but no one's told him to dunk yet.
They're like, you're almost there.
You're almost at the rim.
Just a little jump.
Just a small jump, you know?
And so what we do is in every city,
we do our best to partner with a local outreach in that city.
So then that way, the people coming to the show can see something that's already happening because it is difficult to set up that sort of mutual aid and support
general community around fixing a problem all by yourself.
