I felt the same way until recently we had a behavioral scientist on and he told me to stop it because it makes him feel bad.

Like when he gave me a compliment, I'd be like, Oh no, you know, yes, whatever.

And then he's like, but it makes the giver of the compliment feel bad.

Like that they're stupid or wrong or whatever.

You know, if they think you're so smart or so pretty and you're like, no, I'm not.

And then, you know, you wouldn't want that perception.

And so it flipped how I thought about the self-deprecation that I default to.

Or just shrinking, you know, shrinking yourself to make others feel better might actually have like an unintended side effect that I didn't want.

I like thinking about it that way.

So through a bunch of therapy, you and me both, trying to work on that, it sounds like you've tried to flip your mindset and like stand in that light.

Yeah, it's the greatest hits.

Like I always call them like the ruminations.

Like, oh, I see you.

I see you coming back.

Well, I can even feel and it's only been a year that like me and Jenny has kind of taken a seat because when we were talking, you had a lot of negative self-talk about money.

Like not a little, a lot.

It's so funny that you say the woo-woo LA part because I tend to not be super woo-woo, but I want to understand all viewpoints.

I think when it comes to money, there really is energy in money.

And so when you hoard it and hold it really tight, it doesn't come back around.

And so I believe that there is a lot of, as woo-woo as it does sound, there's a lot of energy in money and the way that it moves.
