So what exactly had to change and what could stay the same changed. I feel like it's still changing. I mean, kind of as long as we're a family, which will hopefully be forever, you know, you've got three changing people in it whose needs are changing and who are trying to be honest. And I guess that was the big shift was like, oh, we're not going to pretend we're not changing anymore.

And that a lot of those changes have nothing to do with each other anymore. Or this thing that we've built. But, you know, as much as you worry about the kid, my biggest worry was that they wouldn't get to see me as I really was. And I say they because they're non-binary. There's just one kid there.

Because I started to realize, oh, there's a whole lot of myself that happens outside the home with my best friend or in my studio alone being creative or just me alone in the world. Like I feel like I'm starting to feel like this part that used to just be like me on a break or, you know, at work. This may be the lion's share of me. This might be kind of what I have to offer them.

as far as one way to live, one way to be. But actually, when I go home, I'm being like a smaller version and not kind of like I... just less interesting to even to myself like because I was biting my tongue a lot and no one was asking me to do this by the way like it's it's very personal I know a lot of people who the freest they feel is is in their home and you know the world is terrifying but

I – it is interesting. I feel a little different since the book came out. Like I've now read so many emails and messages and comments on my sub stack about women at this point or women doing things differently or trying to figure this out that I no longer – I'm like, is there a way to answer this question?

That isn't specific to me because I actually don't feel like... I think at the time I felt very unique and very like no one's doing what I'm doing and both worried by that and sort of proud. And now I'm like, no. This is incredibly widespread, at least lots of thoughts about it. And then people trying to figure out how to do it. I mean, the thing of living... Together, it's what you're used to.
