I notice when I'm slipping with my own mental health, when I don't look at myself in the mirror, when I go so fast and I'm a new mom and something about it, I'm just like, I can't even look right now.

That's when my personal bounce back rate I know is going to be a little bit longer because it's not really if, but when you feel like you need more support.

And so that's why the mirror activations were

so resonant with me because it forced me to do a thing that I know in the back of my mind is a sign that I need some more support.

Yeah, that's for sure.

I was listening to your motherhood activation, too, because I'm going through sleep training right now with my daughter.

And so we're running on very little sleep.

And I love that it's a reminder that these moments are ones that I'm gonna miss at some point.

And so it's really helped to ground me in a place where I'm like, yes, you're crying.

And I am very frustrated inside, but I know that in 10 years I'm gonna be like,

Oh, but she needed me and she was just this little snuggle munchkin.

And I'm going to miss that when maybe she's slamming in the door.

She's never going to do that because she'll be a perfect angel and love her mother forever and ever.

But it's a really special reminder to lean into that chaos or embrace the chaos.

So, yeah, the only thing that you can control is your response to how all of the chaos is happening.

My husband just started a company called Second Arrow because you can only control the second response.

It's just this idea that.

You can't control the first arrow, but you can control the second.

You can control your response.

And that's it.
