And one of the things that I will say in meeting you is I just like you more.

And I just, you're about as real as they get.

And yeah, you're just a gift.

It's one of those things when you make a fast friend, which I don't do often because I'm a diehard introvert.

So it's been fun.

Yeah, the honest answer is because I'd completely disconnected from my own.

So many people thought I was uber confident.

In fact, people would comment on it all the time, being at an executive level at a Fortune 100 company and a very male dominated industry.

So as often one of the only women in the room.

Finance.

Yeah.

So still very male dominated.

So there was an implied confidence, right?

Because it was one of the only, or because I had progressed and got promoted and things like that.

But the reality is I was living so inauthentically.
