Do you think some of the negative self-talk came from other people though?

Because you've said that other people viewed you as being pound foolish penny wise.

And so maybe you took that on or like that?

Oh, for sure.

You were so empathetic that you like internalized that.

Our last conversation, you wanted me to sign books for your daughters, too.

In what sense do you think being a mom and them seeing everything is?

that you do.

Even my daughter's one, and so she copies everything I do.

How do you think that impacts your self-talk around money?

Because even if you try to hide it, I feel like they feel it, or they know, and that's how they learn.

And I think, well, teach me how to be a girl mom if you can.

Yeah, it never stops.

She's 15 months old and I go, and she goes, right?

And then you just extrapolate that as they grow.

They watch you spending or hoarding or hiding purchases or

you know, whatever else.

And then that becomes their habit.

And so I saw something recently, probably on Instagram, it was like a meme that was like, you would kill for your kids or die for your kids in a lot of senses, but would you live for them or would you change your habits for them?

I was like, Ooh, that hit.
