You wrote in. You can send screenshots if you guys want to in the trenches at Sabrina Zahar.com. but we are here to help. We're going to answer them all, and I'm so fucking excited and just grateful

beyond this, sorry about you. We'll have new things coming. But at the end of this month, we have the self-love, the breakup, and the nervous system course are going to be gone for good. Now, what that means is if you get it now on sale, you'll have lifetime access. So it's not like it's ever going to be taken away, but you won't be able to purchase it beyond to the end of the month because new things are coming. I have so many things in the works for you guys.

And the reason I wanted Tom to be here, obviously, because I love you and I wanted you here, but because I think you have a lot of great insight to offer. And I think getting a male perspective that's in a different place, in a different country that we can also see that it's the same shit everywhere is going to be really helpful. But before we get into that, I want to know, could you share a little bit about you?
