The speaker reflects that they have already experienced life without Brooks and never want to return to that state.

So I was working with a client the other night who is going through a divorce. And we were talking about life, relationships, what comes next. And then they asked me, could you live your life without Brooks? And I sat there for a minute and just looked at them through the Zoom screen. And then I said, you know what? I've lived that life. And I never want to live that again. Sometimes you don't fully understand what someone means to your life until you remember what life was like before they were in it.
