My whole life was work.

My friends had become people who worked with me or for me.

My whole life surrounded talking about the business and the industry.

I didn't have any other conversations.

And you think you're doing so great.

Like I'd still been doing all my yeses, but I realized that all of them made me amazing at being a working mother.

But I did not know how to be a mother who didn't know how to work.

Oh, yeah.

I didn't know how to be that kind of mother, a mother with no work.

It was very both humiliating and humbling to discover that like I was literally a stranger in my own home.

And in my community, for sure.

I really want to say that I think that, you know, everybody's doing the best that they can.

You do what you can when you can.

And when you know better, you do better.

I think that's Maya Angelou.

But I think that that's really true.

And so there's not a lot of time that you should spend dwelling on what did not happen for you.

You know what I mean?

Like that already, that's already occurred.

So all you can do now, like I said, you have the opportunity to change it.
