Chapters
I was conceived with the help of a sperm donor. And that was something I didn't find out until I was in my 40s. I entered the world in a lie, right like, the moment that I got here. Like, they were lying to me about who my parents were. And so I thought, well, maybe if I'm better, they'll be closer to me. If I'm better, I'll have their full presence. I know it's pretty wild, but I know it's so funny as I look back on it, because I'm. When you're able to look back on your life, you can see. Or for me, I'll speak for myself. I can see how everything happened for a reason. And the things that are our greatest challenges, they have become my strengths, right? Like, this feeling of I have to do better and be better is what allows me to lean into greatness.
