Thank you so much. I love you. You're amazing. There's a feeling and there's a knowing in your stomach that like you're on the cusp. Everything is coming. It's coming right. I spoke on stage, I got booked to speak at a conference. I was interviewed on tv. I got to what I call have my cake and eat it too to have my lifestyle here in Australia. Travel and spend time with my family in Ireland and bring my daughter to see, you know, her grandparents and like her cousins and all that. I also got to go to New York. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I didn't have the income or the flexibility or the freedom that we consciously built into my business. When it's running and it's running smoothly, I can do daycare drop offs. We're not shouting and screaming in the morning trying to get out the door. There's a little bit more calm ease bedtime. I'm not also on my phone trying to post on social media and being, being distracted. I can be a, I can be more. It has definitely given me that I get to have some very slow mornings, go on midweek adventures, almost whatever I want. I am very, very grateful. I've got like a rotation of clients, steady clients that are on a retainer at a price that I think is fair but also attracts the right types of clients. She has really helped me bring them in. The ones that I have attracted are amazing and are dream clients. I'm deeply, I'm deeply connected to them. I'm deeply invested in their business. I used to be grappling. I had no clients. I felt like I was starting from zero. Anyone that was once a client or was once a lead were well gone. I said yes to everything even though I didn't want to because I was so, so scared from then to where I am now, like completely different. Completely different. The referrals are, are, are really good as well. 10 out of 10. She is fantastic. She is exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. Fun, enjoyable and nourishing. I'm less overwhelmed, I'm throwing less spaghetti at the wall. She just has this innate warmth about her. I have a really good BS detector and I could tell with her that she wasn't, that she was the real deal.
