Priceless, Priceless, Priceless, Priceless. I let go of clients and Katie really helped to say no. No, no, no. Full permission to say no. So much better for the long term, for the inner peace. So much more professional. The standard is so much higher. All of a sudden, many NGOs approach me. Exciting and scary at the same time. Obvious from almost immediately that the investment recouped itself. Previous, I don't know, type of coochie, moochie playground. And now we're talking. I respected myself more. I feel that my clients trust me more. It's not a dirty talk to have a simple conversation around money. And I was able to joke about it today, even with a potential client. We're negotiating and I felt at ease. I wasn't, you know, hiding behind my notebook. I trust Katie with my eyes closed. She's a good person. Almost like a mama bear that protects the group. And it formed extremely beautiful friendships. Very comfortable, profound, mind blowing, inspiring. Katie is 11. So much more than what I pay. She knows how to shoot an arrow straight to the nerve next to your heart. Makes you feel seen, understood, not judged. She's a great listener. I feel like I am with your work and your presence, making a world a better place. Thank you so much. I love you and I'm forever grateful. And I look forward to continuing working together and building more. I'm so happy that I finally realized that it's okay to ask for help.
