How would you describe working with us or working with me to a friend? I would describe it as a mirror. To me, the whole experience was a journey to pure self-acceptance. I was blown away by the patience you were giving me. Like, I was even nervous about not delivering, like always postponing and I'm not ready, I'm not ready. And like, you were so patient. Like, it was unbelievable for me because I'm not that patient with myself. I started to promise less, which feels good because I tend to promise so much so that it feels like this adrenaline rush again, like, oh my God, I have to deliver. So this is really something I learned from you and this experience, and that is so healthy.
