And you can't prioritize everything on the same day. For me, the root of my priorities, my family, my work, my friendships, our community. We have a charity that my husband and my son and I run together, restoring outdoor basketball courts. But I think that you, you know, again, life you prioritize. And there may be days where Blushington is my priority.
And the love, the loyalty and keeping the passion and the shared values is crucial. And I will say, you know, we've talked about women coming into the workforce. Fathers are now so much more involved with their kids. Oh, absolutely. Every sporting event, every dad is there. Right. When I was growing up, I mean, my dad was working and my mom came. And they didn't make the time.
It wasn't even a consideration, like you said. It wasn't an option.
Exactly. We have plenty of friends like that.
You know, I think in life and in business, emotional intelligence sometimes trumps everything. To be successful in relationships, to be successful in business, you have to understand people. And I think that comes from being very, very aware. And so I would say emotional intelligence is crucial in every aspect of your life.
I think it's crucial to do what you love and it's going to maybe be different things at different times in your lives. I mean, when I first, came out of college, I won a fellowship in New York. It was in public affairs. I went actually, I was in news also. I worked on the overnight assignment desk. I mean, talk about the lowest job in the newsroom. That was really tough.
I was newly married, but I was so passionate about the news. I had wanted to be a broadcaster. and um and i did it and it ran its course so i think that it's important to do what you're passionate about i blushington does not work for me it's a way of life i get up every morning excited about it amazing i agree well i also think you're more mature
It's an amazing journey. And when I was in my 20s, I had a great friend that was in her late 70s. And she would always say to me, the journey is the destination. And I never understood what it meant. And now I understand.
I have to tell you, as the daughter of a physician, I really lived this firsthand. And my mom moved to the United States when she was 19 years old to attend Columbia. She and my dad met on an airplane, had four dates, eloped and got married. I love it. So she did not know. And a romance of a lifetime. They're married 56 years. So are my in-laws, by the way, and two amazing couples.
And she was very lonely. The difference was she was married and they were starting to have a family, an older sister. Now, your listener can't go back in time. But advice I would give to anyone dating is I wouldn't date someone longer than a year. How much time do you need to know if this is the one? I'm not, it's different for everybody, but time is valuable and you never get it back.
I've said this all the time, Natasha. I agree with you. And I think that, you know, We're always evolving. Who we were when I was 27 and Mark was 30, we're very different people today. But we made the commitment to grow together. But we dated for seven months. We were engaged for seven months. And we're married 23 years.
I was 26. Oh, wow. Okay. I got engaged when I was 27 and married the same year. He actually proposed on my birthday.
That's so cool. How did he propose? But I was 21. That's like my mom.
It's a completely different thing.
What happened to the first engagement ring? It got bigger and bigger and bigger.
And I would add to that and get a commitment. Oh, right. If you're in it and you want to get married, If you're going to be sticking around through what is a super challenging time, make sure you're not the one that slogged it out and then six months later he meets somebody else and is married and you've now spent 10 years of your life.
We're on the same page. You should know in a year. Exactly. Six months is more than enough. There you go.
Well, you have to be yourself. Exactly. When I watch the young women that I'm friends with or that are in my business and I'm sort of on the outside looking in at dating and what it's become, it's like you have to curate yourself. Right. Yeah. And, you know, everything seems to be very premeditated because it's texts.
I remember, I mean, I had a three hour conversation with my husband and that's what got the romance started. And it was nothing was we didn't write a text, delete it, write it, delete it.
It flowed.
