And, you know, I also during that time I just bought into all these things that motherhood was going to do that were going to be negative in my life like that I would could never have a career again.
That was the idea that I thought I was 29 and Serena and I had written most of this book but we hadn't finished it completely and we had kind of fell off the wayside from it.
And ironically, when I found out I was pregnant, because I bought into this idea that I could never have a career once my child was born, it made me call up Serena and call up our publishers that we had been in contact with and call up our literary agent and say, we got to do this and we've got to do it now because I have eight months until my life is just over and I can only be a mom from that point forward.
I just thought that this was true, you know?
And so because of that, we got our book out there and we finished it while I was pregnant.
It didn't get released until, you know, last year, but because this was three years ago that I got, that I,
became pregnant, but we did finish it during that time.
And we got our publishing deal and all of that.
And I just, I bought into this idea that I would never travel again and I would never be able to do anything for myself.
And just all these things, that's all I could think about.
Instead of thinking about the opportunities that were before me, that I was going to grow, that this was a blessing and all of that, I just was only seeing it one-sided at that time.
But then fast forward to when my son was born and just, it turns out,
Not that none of that was true, because some of the things that I was thinking about are true.
I mean, you don't get a lot of time to yourself.
I don't travel unencumbered anymore and things like that.
But what I realized was that none of it was anything to be afraid of, because...
It has enriched my life in a different way.
And I'm just in a different phase in my life.
So when I heard this quote, again, after I had gone through all of this and my son was born and I was like, actually, I feel a sense of happiness, a sense of happiness that I couldn't imagine for myself pre having my son.
And I heard the quote, you know, there is no way to happiness.
