Make it go so well. Make me adorable, hilarious, funny, charming. You do it. And then, like, make it the most successful pod. Make Lewis love it. And, like, whatever. God has all this to do. And then I make a checkbox for him. And I crack up. And I write on it. Go, God, go. Yay, God. Don't worry. You can do it, God. And I cheer him on. It's, like, ridiculous. It's, like, so ridiculous.

And then I crack up because I look at my job versus God's job and I'm like, oh bro, you have a lot of work to do. I'm gonna go chill, but good luck to you. And then I come back and I remember to check him off and I give him A pluses and I'm like, very good job. And I like give him stickers and he has not failed me ever. And that's what I do for energy.

I don't have to do anything. I have to show up. I have to show up and I have to be the clearest vase that I can. God is the flowers. My job is literally just to be the clearest vase for people to see them. And that's hard work. It takes hard work to be a clear vase, but I can do that. I can't shine and shimmer. I can't guarantee people will love me.

I can't be delightful and perfect and pleasing, right? But I can do my work to be a clear vase. I can meditate. I can do my breath work. I can have therapy. I can work out. I can keep my body healthy. I can keep my mind healthy. That's my job in being a clear vase, right? And the pressure's off other than that. My job is not what people are going to think of me.

My job is not how am I going to come off? What is the success going to be? What is the result going to be? It is literally just to be the best version I can.

In the middle of the darkest depression. when I had no other choice.

Yeah, a couple years ago when I was completely at a loss on my knees in the studio that you came to a couple times on my knees in the middle of the night at 2 a.m. My baby had had 105 degree temperature that night. She was two months old. My husband had a passing a kidney stone. I wasn't sleeping. I was absolutely at the lowest. My uncle just died. I was at the lowest I've ever been in my life.

I was terrified. I didn't know how to keep going. And I screamed on the floor of my studio, mercy, mercy, I'm done, mercy. And this song came out of me. This song, Mercy, came out of me at two in the morning, like all at once, this rush.

this answer of of music I Felt a presence that I never felt in my life and I've always written With something but I didn't know what it was that was flowing through me and that night I knew without a doubt that that beautiful piece of art came through that pain there had to be something bigger than me in this world that was listening and And from then, I just was so hungry for it.

And I sought it out and I asked and I searched and I implored God, keep showing yourself to me. Please, please, please keep delighting me, keep helping me, keep healing me. And he did over and over. And music came, music came, music came, like so much music.
