But I think just like the assumption that, you know, in your career, if you're a woman and if an investor puts in money and you're going to be around for 10 years, that like, you know, that you're going to have kids and then you're going to fuck off.

I was like, Sophia, calm it down. Calm it down.

Always. My biggest hack is keep a win sheet of things that you've done. I had someone come to me recently and they wanted something. They They came with a windshield of here's everything I've done for the business. Here's how I've affected the bottom line. Here's the things I've created. And I was like, oh, my God, you're so right. You did do all those things. I thought I did.

You did those things like, of course, then you deserve this. And I think having that because then you can't be doubted. You can't be on your back foot of, oh, what's going to happen when, you know, you're a mother, blah, blah, blah. If you can show up to your boss and say, this is my win sheet. This is what I've created for the company. And this is what I deserve. I think that's the biggest thing.

And writing that down, even for yourself when you start to doubt yourself and going to look at that is a huge thing. Such good advice. Because it's also like, don't worry about that. I'll handle that. This is what I've done. And I'm going to continue to do that. And just don't answer questions you don't want to answer. Sophia's taught me this so much.

Like when someone asks you something and it's necessarily in a professional setting, it's not a conversation. Right. It's a question and it's a response. And your response doesn't need to be an answer to that question, especially like in any sort of media setting. It's just a response. So you can twist that and say whatever you want and spin it into your thing. You just need to respond.
