Like I am not anti-men.

I do not advocate for women at the expense of men.

But I do think there's an opportunity for us to balance out some of the advice that we're getting.

So it's not always in the...

Hard work, get up early, whoever gets in first leaves last is gonna win, that type of thing.

So anyway, I had gone down the road of writing that book and it was really hard and I kept running into obstacles and it was just difficult.

And I, at one point I was like, why am I doing this?

I already have half a book written on confidence already given my speaking engagements and what I talk about on a regular basis.

And so I was like, you know what, I'm just going to test out writing a book about confidence and see where it goes.

And it was so much easier and so much more, you know, like it felt like everything opened up.

It felt like I was doing what I was supposed to be doing.

So that other book idea may be the second book or another book in the future, but it was one of those moments where I recognized I was making it harder for myself than it needed to be.

And again, the universe or God or whoever, it just redirected me to where I was supposed to be.

Yeah, you know, everything requires a measure of hard work, for sure, and tenacity and risk and anything worth doing, I think, does.

Having said that, in my experience, the things that are meant for me, the things that are right, somehow have a way of becoming obvious.

They might not be easy, but it's obvious or simple, right?

Like it just...

It's that feeling of like when you're working against something versus when you're moving through or toward something.

I have to remind myself and I'm grateful for people like your son that remind us like, hey, maybe this is not for us, right?

Yeah, so definitely.
