Welcome back, everybody. We are joined again with Heather Lillikoshi. She is our almost like our

on-staff nutritionist here. Love that. Yes, please. To talk with us, we have so many questions

about food specifically and whether it, you know,

foods that increase anxiety, what foods that help with anxiety. It's a topic that I could talk

about, but I think you're better to talk about it because we all seem to wonder about this.

perfectionism. That's why I was so well prepared for meetings because I was terrified of making

a mistake or looking silly or having any type of negative feedback. And I would always take on

extra projects and help out because I was such a people pleaser and I didn't want to

disappoint anybody or offend anybody. And it got to the point where I was so overwhelmed,
