I'm so thrilled to have you here.

Me too.

I feel like I know your voice because I've listened to your books on audio many of hours.

No, I promise it was only daytime.

It's really nice to have you here.

Thank you.

And I feel like we can go in a lot of different ways.

Yeah, for sure.

I was talking before we turned the cameras on, but I read From Strength to Strength in 2022 when it was published.

But it really was very pivotal as I changed careers two years ago after 30 years in journalism.

So it really showed me that it was okay to do that.

It gave me permission somehow.

And I needed to do it too.

So for those listeners who might not be familiar with the book From Strength to Strength and maybe some of the work that you've done, you haven't always talked about happiness, right?

I got to tell you.

You cracked it for me.

It came at such... I mean, you know, we say things come when they need to come.

But

It came at such a time, and I don't know that I really knew what to expect from it.

It gave me the permission I needed to feel okay and feel like I wasn't giving up by walking away from the only career I had known, aside from waiting tables.
