So yeah, so when I, when I joined Transformation Leadership Institute, I was at a crossroads. I was on maternity leave and my, my work situation was shifting. I was in a transition, so I was looking for my next opportunity. And it was a funny time because you're on maternity leave and you're full on with your, your baby, and then you're also looking for your next opportunity and I mean, it was just the best time to be part of Jess's community and feel supported and listened to. I mean, even, you know, my son even joined some of the calls. So I wouldn't, you know, always recommend that, but, you know, but if you, if you, you know, I was, I was so, so hungry to grow and to learn in that, in that time as well. But I think I really got some really good advice in terms of looking at my CV, differently, looking at how I shared my strengths differently. You know, some of the interviews as well, I connected with the team on advice about, you know, some of the, you know, some of the questions that could come up, how should I approach this, and we talked through it. So, you know, when you have something specific and that you're going through, and especially in transformation, I think we always— there's always something coming up in the woodwork. And so that was a real game changer for me in my transition. And, you know, and as Jess said, you know, things will look up and they did look up. So, you know, really enjoying my current role and growing a lot. So.
