Chapters
Getting into the industry and seeing how it works, seeing how things actually were being on the inside. I had a lot of decisions to make. The group was incredible. The people that I worked with were phenomenal. I learned a lot about music. I learned a lot about business. And at the end of the day, I just had to decide what was I willing to sacrifice to get the things that this industry offered me. And I just decided that it wasn't worth what I was being asked to give up. I did have a daughter and she. She was missing out on a lot of what I had to offer her as a mom and traveling and her being so proud of me and seeing me on stages and, you know, those things were good. That was good. But it took me away from things that I felt were more important and that's watching her develop fundamentally and being there. Just personally as her mom, I felt like that was the most important thing.
