And so a pattern for me, and I think this happens a lot in high performers. Right. And I'll, you know, I'll say this, too, is that, you know, I grew up in a very critical household, and it's not that that's bad. Okay? It is what it is. Not that it's good either. I'm not excusing it. It just is what it is. And it was.
Definitely a different era.
Yes.
Like, it was definitely different. Like, I'm pretty sure my parents didn't just get criticism. They got a lot more physical redirection, if you will. But I lived in that critical household, too, and I'm like, thank God it wasn't physical and critical to the extent. But I'm like, it also. Thank God for conscious parenting. We've. We have changed a lot. We have come. We've come some directions, We've come some strides. Yes.
And, you know, my parents are from Africa, Right. So I was born in South Africa. So they're born and raised in Africa in the 70s, 60s.
Like, different.
Era, different.
Culture, different.
Right.
Everything.
