pay fire nation so excited to be here and I can answer that one right away I believe as a mom and as a business owner that I do not have to choose one or the other to put the full gas on in order to really find success in both it's often believe that in order to have a successful business or profession you really need to

spend less time with your kids or have less of a family life or less of a personal life or in the opposite you if you want to be

a really phenomenal mother parent you have to put hold your you know put a hold on your business and put a hold on your professional life and

scary whisper to hear and that was my intuition talking and um and I you know kind of went through all of the emotions that come up and all the

second guessing and I don't know but if I don't do this what am I supposed to do

and in the time and space I gave myself to sort of like sit with all of it and all of that discomfort and what am I what do I do

I really did a lot to tune into that inner voice and like what do I need to be doing and and am I just trying to self sabotage myself

and tell myself that no I don't want this business like what is it really and it was in that space that I really heard
