and the world is so much bigger than that one task and there's so many more things I can do now and it's really exciting.

I, yeah, I think I, like it was a, this was a learning post, but I think I really struggled to do it during, like, like I said, I was trying to kind of build my own personal brand, but I found it impossible because I couldn't be authentic.

And then I was trying to like, even like exercise and use that as my avenue, like I started triathlons, but everything just got too much and I kept having to give it up.

Um, but then Seve having a baby was like, it's something I had always wanted.

Like I'm the eldest of seven.

I grew up in a big family.

I always wanted, um, kids and I'm very lucky and happy that I have Seve.

He's so cute.

He's so cute.

Um, but when that happened, like, yeah, you have this huge, which I'm sure, you know, this huge mental shift.

Um, and all of a sudden,

Like all the trivial things and I think a lot of my ego as well kind of just faded away.

I remember saying and like this is so fine if it's what people like.

It was just in my view I wanted to work and my focus was my career.

I wanted to have Seve and the plan was that Patty would be the stay-at-home parent.

Um, and as soon as I had Seve, I was like, whoa, like I just wanted to shift that a little bit.

And because all of a sudden, and I'm not, I'm not saying if you, you know, you're not the stay at home parent, you don't care as much, but just in how I wanted to structure my life, I was like, actually, um, to me, like Seve is my number one.

And then work is something that I definitely know I still want to do, but it's like an enjoyable avenue and hopefully it gives us the life that we want to have.

Yeah.

Um, but I still want to enjoy it, but also like it made, yeah, it made, um, and I think it also really helped in the Pleasant State closing down because I knew that even if Pleasant State closed, I had Seve and I had this, and also when like you had the most difficult days ever, um, yeah, I could just log off kind of.
