And this really felt like that.

Like I was literally like, I might be terrible at this.

Oh, man, there have been so many.

And I feel really lucky for that.

I mean, I think that's important, by the way, that like, it's not usually one mentor, it's like a lot of them.

And for me, it's like these conversations that just landed the right thing in the right moment.

Like, you know, the there's a woman coming on work life named Patty Stone Safer.

And she, I remember when I left Facebook, I don't even remember what question I asked her.

But I was just telling her about leaving and feeling scared because I didn't have another job lined up.

And I didn't

That felt, I don't know, crazy or something.

And she said to me, you know, the hardest thing for me in my career has been letting go of one rung of the ladder without having your hand on the next rung.

And you're like, like, what do I do?

But it's just those moments when somebody kind of gives you a language for what you're feeling.

Those have been really big unlocks for me.

And there's just so many examples of somebody saying the right thing to me at the right moment.
