I really started to figuring out, like, what my soul's purpose really was on this journey. And so I started living that life the way that I wanted to. And then I wanted to help more people, but I wanted to do it through some sort of service that I enjoyed, which back then, of course, was. Was video and filmmaking. And then it evolved into podcasting. And so. But what's unique about it is I've hit, like, tons of, like, barriers, walls, failures, fall, fallovers through business opportunity and growth. I may have hit a specific set of success that people see as success at this point in life, but it didn't come easy. Right? And so. But all of those trials and tribulations that went through in the business side of it, all of it was because of everything that went through in that personal, rock bottom journey. Everything today. I always tell my team, they're always like, how did you, how did you handle that conversation? I'm like, I was like, it really didn't faze me. It's just something that had to be done because of the fact that I've dealt with harder in my life. And it pushed me and propelled me into a stronger woman in business because of those life stories that I had with my past.
