I can only fit X amount of clients in a day before I go get my kids at pickup and turn off for a little bit. So what's the next step? And I think, you know, these Caregiver and Me classes or these virtual coaching options for families, and I'm not, it's not fully public yet, but we're going to have some webinars for families on my website too. SLP webinars. It's just, it's cool to see, like, I did not think that I was going to do this with my like SLP life. Like I knew I wanted to eventually go into private practice, but coaching COVID made me leave the schools a little faster than I expected. And it's been just really nice to see how like my entrepreneurial side and my SLP side and my new business side, like are able to come together. And you know this, you show this, like there really is so much that you could do. And it's cool to be on the journey. Yeah.
