So we're gonna, kick it off with a lazy, Rachel's, ass men Porta? Why an amazing, namely see she said, What are your favorite stores online or in person to shop? So here's a fun fact about me. I worked in retail for a couple years, and ever since then I hate going to stores. It is awful on mine, ordering is my best friend, so we order so much. Of Amazon, now, clothing by life stuff, I mean every single day. I swear we're getting Amazon boxes. I hope I'm not alone in this, but when it comes
clothes. There are a few favorite places, so I've been really trying to focus on choosing brands. There and are making a difference in some spring weather? socially creating their clothing or promoting body positivity. So, of course I love airy. Genuinely where there's stuff every single day re. Now I've airy pants on an approach which is shocking, that in IRAN, but I love airy, there's stuff is today especially be work from home because it's like a little higher and pajamas innocence. I also love and why dj so? These are genes, and I hate genes, but they I need a partner up this year. I'm not getting paid to talk about them right now and I laughed at them- and I was I do know that I'm known for yoga peons, so they were,
let us just send using genes- you can try Emma if you dont, like I'm, no worries. I freakin love their pants, so I live in their genes. There made for all shapes and sizes as a girl with a kind of a bigger booty. They are I'd, send in their so come to your balls. So I can actually like work in them for the day, which is so weird sagely work in yoga bans are swept the UN's anyway, dj great company. I really enjoyed working with them and they totally converted me to a genes gown and then Vader capsule. Also its v t t a. I think it's Vader urge better. I hope I know and it is incredible so she saw this need. It is incredible, so she saw those needs used to work in the fashion industry. And she saw how there is so much junk that happens in the industry, whether its unfair labour or shipping stuff in importing stuff
and so she created this capsule wardrobe and you can literally by five pieces and wear them thirty different ways, and so her stuff is convertible. It's beautiful is so lax and it's a little bit spend your innocence. What I would normally spend, but I buy like three of her pieces. Each collection she drops and then you can- extra match them a million ways to there's, like assure dress, Regan, literally unbuttoning, into turns into address ammunition, hurt if that makes sense and there's like sweater and you can unbuttoned turtleneck neck and just make it a crew next matter. So it's the most diverse Tal clothing and then but they have really grades of Toulouse. I have like then jacket their leather bag. Some of their shoes are awesome like their Jean jacket, their leather bag. Some of their shoes are awesome, so I'm trying to do a bigger shift towards less is more
those are the places I shot. There's one final spot shop, Ashleigh Meal, Ashleigh Mew, was on episode. I believe fifty eight of the show edge- he runs a shine project and she has this incredible shop where they saw these beautiful dresses, and so, whenever issue weddings, I always wear her dresses and they are still become v and there also just designed to be able to move in them and, let's be honest, I loved it bust some good Dan, moves. So I love Shop Ashley, the Muse dresses Hey Brianna Zaluski, says what is the best book you ve read recently so this year a transition from reading business books to reading books for fun. I love reading and so it was sad to me that when I started my business, I can't let that fall off the wayside. Enzo, this past year over so many books for a fine. I literally just finish the secret life of bees, which I know I know that but came out like years ago, who said oh god, I've read
a lot of Jody pickled. I've read a lot of turning of the other books. I read, and I just dream, so I will make a, as of the basque books, have read, but I literally just finished a secret life of bees last night, and it was so so good that Nightingale was also Kristen Hannah. Another amazing book. I read this year, so angry trying to read those good page. Turner's that can't you be magic or see, and I read before bad every single night, no matter what time it is. I remember my sister's bachelor party we got back I like three in the morning from all the shenanigans and I still had to read in bed, and so I love reading its how I fall asleep at night and that's the best book it read recently broke DE piercing says. Why is your faith story and a few of you guys kind, ass white? My testimony is in a kind of made me realize, like I guess. I've never really shared this, but I think that aren't struggle for me is feeling like a habit
testimony because my faith Journey ass had thought the high and low, like everything else in life. So I was raised in the church- has raised Lutheran when does Sunday school went Bible camp every single year I was like I loved Bible camp and I think that a really came into my faith, my sophomore year of College starting my second semester a freshman year, so to be entirely candid. I was a very good are all growing up, so I you know, didn't dream didn't have boyfriends like. I was very, very, very good, and then, when I went to college is like this whole world is open up and I started drinking and this whole other side of me started come out, and I think it was my second semester freshman year, where all the like. This is not like did moment, whereas, like this is not who I am like. I am not. This
hardy girl, I'm not like feeling filled up from their site. I need do I go back to my roots minimised, oh funny, because one of my still dear friends, Brittany, we had party together for the first semester in it was like a random Friday night and I went to Taco Bell of all places which kind of expenditure opened my mouth in Britain he was there and it was like ten o clock on a Friday night and neither of us had gone now and we like sat down. Oh you're, eating or tacos, and- and I was like you know I just I wanted seems like I don't wanna do this anymore and you like me to sleep. I made it excuse and, like I didn't, want to go out tonight and so I super lucky to have found her, and so we started getting involved in hampers crusade and we really like. We gave up drinking called Turkey and we had each other, which was so incredible so then she became my roommate for sophomore Junior year Junior College. I lived in a house with five other girls, and we are all Christians. We did Bible studies,
together, we were to church together, but I mean it. Safe to say that all of us were still kind of finding or footing in finding our own in savings. I you know, it's been so interesting going through and navigating our losses like like if so much faith that God exists in that you know juice for me- and I know all of these things, but there have definitely been seasons of life. I don't feel them. So I feel, like my testimony, is just this constant pursuit. I feel like there's, no, finality where I can say this was the day, but I think every single day have choose that. Somebody, there's so much easier than others drew nigh there, we used is oh tendencies. We became cleaners to kind of service aspect, but it's ours, just hard for me to because being from small town was gone. San Marino, I joined a small group, and I love being from small town, Wisconsin sky? I joined
a small group and I love the women, but I was the only woman that worked. I was the only one without children I'll unite gone all the time. So I remember one night. I was a Monday night. We all got together we're going through the word doing all that and, as I can guide like I gotta go, I ever early fight to New York tomorrow and for these women it was like Y Y, you of your find in New York tomorrow alone, and so I always felt just a little bit different and that's it beautiful, I don't think you should ever just Anderson things, you're gonna feel like you're one and the same, but it was suggests a really big struggle, Ino after he miscarried to feel comfortable, because I was struggling so much with faith and with fertility and all the staff, and so you know. I think that, as I continue to grow,
this business in and I wanted to be a way to glorify God and I figure how I can share my faith while I'm still struggling to understand at all. I think that that is the true testament, is, is just showing up thing Have all the answers that I have it all together. You know I I can tell you Bible verses in all those things by that date. The work is still something I'm working on. So I hope it answers your question. In the end, I know In the episode where I did things. I'm scared to tell you upset fifteen. I talked about my future. Mean just how it's it's a constant struggle, but it so so worth it. So next washing comes from Becky sure she asked what time I am do you wake up so to do Israel as five years, I've been an entrepreneur for sex. Actually, so almost every year I have open up at seven thirty. On the no side, I would set an alarm and wake up, and maybe this new ones
I lay in bed scrolling scram, do all the things and I work out at eight fifteen every single day and after a second miss urge a certain kind of focus more on like Holistic Alfayoum, what my body needs, and so now I don't sleep with my phone in the bedroom and they don't set an alarm heart but drew still gets up to work on it fifteen. So a lot of times I wake up right around then and take the Alexander on a walk, so I would say most days I wake up about eight, a m, but even this thing about that extra ten fifteen minutes feels so good bye. Really you, since I have, the ability did not need to send an alarm I needed, the advantage of then I'm like looking back on those last five years and like why didn't I just listen to my body a little bit more so drew nigh Latvia's. We actually get really good sleep. We are usually imbibed by ten wake of that aids of its ten hours.
I know it. Don't he knew all your mom's, their god bless you I still drink coffee bet. I pray dont needed as much as you do. You speak of coffee cheers. Ok, Chrissy, how on says what is your view? if it way to do self care and how do you manage to fitted in so self care in the definition of it has absolutely transformed for me over this year. I use picture like bath bombs and like a bubble bath and a glass of wine fire in the bathtub as health care? The now try to Did it as self carers like a daily choice, and so of course, I loved do things I get a massage enduring wedding season. I try to get a massage every single month or before or after every wedding, and I just works that into my collections and firms of like I need to do. I need to do this for me and it's gonna help me do a better job. So now it is self care looks like following my. Tuition more and like, like
listening in honouring my body, which sounds so. Will we? But it's so true, so like four be self, carries a going to yoga class or he knows watching before bed in and slowing down my mind or being more mindful during my nightly routine, to just kind of focus. My thoughts on the here and now and so self care looks so different to me than what I used to visualize what it was, but I think that is so important, especially as you get busy. And one of the things I learned. This year's just the kind of focusing more intuition. Is it so easy when you get busy to take care of yourself last, but those are the times where you need to start taking care of yourself. First Enzo trying to. I can turn the whole thought process on its head and really just kind of pay attention to how my field How am I feeling my? How am I taking care of myself and my taking my supplements and I'm getting good night sleep and slowing down debris that my doing body scans am I hitting down
our dog everyday, like whatever that looks like an that's. How I choose to fitted in NATO, to cook says where It is all of their confidence. Come from. You know it so funny my mom, is those that tell this story, so we grew up in northern Minnesota. My brother was a hockey player, so I grew up at the ice. Rink knows our door rank and I this little girl with these double bladed skates on that are supposed to make it easier for you to learn how to escape. I would literally just got the older kids and say I mining JANET J e on- and I want to be my friend And my mom was like: I never worried about you, because every time you would just find a friend and hang out with him all day and then you'd come into the warming AUS in you to have the best day ever. And so I was a little girl who would sit in the back of the base. The older kids because I will just go up to them and ask if I could and I loved you like forge friendships from an early age when signing
Some of my confidence definitely comes from that. I also in all my years as a gymnast and then as like a collegiate diver like you have to know that you can do things like giving due hard things. And so I think, there's just a lot of poise outcomes of that, but like a lot of, please seated confidence of. If I work my butt off, I know I can make this happen. I think in the most recent years. My confidence comes from, knowing that I have a lack of energy, so I have to choose whose, where I'm putting my energy and at the end of the day, I met a bet on myself, because I trust myself to come through more than I trust, anyone else- and so you know, looking back over the last couple of years- I was exhausted for so much of it and I think a lot of it was my hormones, the gloom intolerance, all these things that I've discovered through our infertility Journey
and I was just going through life, so sting and tired, and so confidence came from saying. I have this many hours of energy each day, I'm in a choosing bass them here and a lot of it came from investing in myself. I think that now I just have seen what I'm capable of and I know that I can continue to do beg hard things and they don't apologize for that, because I see so many people being held back from that inability to believe in themselves and it breaks my heart but so. I know that I'm sure did you do the hard work and I am choosing to show up in big ways and I'm choosing to forge my own path in it. It is not for everyone- and it takes a lot of work by Daphne comes from the way my parents raise me. It comes from the sports I was in it comes from. Lack of energy and just seeing the results of what can happen when you make a go for it. Any bet on yourself,
Lazy, Rachel's ass men. Porta says what is your favorite big city and small city of ever travelled to and why so, I would see some of my favour. Big cities, I loved Austin, Texas June. I went there there somewhere, even when it was blazing high. It was beautiful. We really love Seattle, I love visiting New York. I think it's just superfine for a couple days. We also love Chicago more cities we do like a road trip all the way from allay all the way up to San Francisco, and we say at some smaller little cities in California, which were amazing and just that drivers like survey on some all. It could also be categorized as key hay in Maui, which is where our common know is it so funny where's Hawaii, because there is a true community therein were so thankful to have community in Hawaii. So when we
Oh they're just does Villa we're going home to a group. We we have a church there. We have a gym there. We have people that were in town, So while we're not on the island and then of course like we love the places, we were a born and raised so Duluth Minnesota and Jews born in near fond lack Wisconsin, and then we they ve been Fort Atkinson, which is five thousand people and you know we love small town, my wits, it's pretty funny because you know I travelled all these big cities where, at the end of the day, there is something so a wonderful about the simplicity of where we currently live alley. Clemens as a what are your go to avenge, where these shows on net flax zone it so funny because
I own actually watch allotted Netflix during the day when I'm working. In so doing, I have made our way through many series leave watched Dexter. We love a house of cards. Oh my gosh. We watched to West world we hear wide anything goes breaking bad. So you know we ve done all the standards we watch. Stranger things we watched. What is that one? making a murder wisely. O j since then trial, TAT, we want all those weird ones but its vanegas. It's like I feel like so much of Drew's De Rivera zero like making sure I have everything I need till I get might have done, and so at the end of the night, We can find a series that we both wake. I am all game like. He would not sit down a watch some. They like your Mercosur, like Greece, an atom, even though I probably would love that. So those are the issues that we want a Netflix.
We're, always looking for new ones. If you guys have any happened, the gold digger pod guess insiders group. Let me know what you want: right. Now we love going through series, I think it's so fine and we too, Hopefully are those people I'd, take a Saturday and watch six episodes in a row and then wonder where are weekend went Rachel's? and says what is your best marriage advice? So When I say we ve been married six years we ve been together ten in I would say that my best marriage advice is to never hit below the belt and what I mean by that is when you were married, you know you're spouses, most insecure, area, as you know, their deepest darkest secrets in the area. Did they struggle with, and I think that when you have such an intimate relationship, if you guys get into I had an argument which everybody does you never hit what about you never bring up those deep seated insecurities in so doing,
I have a rule that psych fight clean, like Jones Pool in south that doesn't need to be brought into an argument, and I give me honest, like he is moral level, headed than I am like, I'm just like little spit fire that always talks back and needs of the last word. Just I made an bites. If you dont have a lot about it is so much easier. To truly come to a resolution, and you know in people they like never go to bed angry like drew, and I will not go to bed without each other. It's the weirdest thing over the other night we were in bed and like even if I'm not tired, all go to bed with him and he's like how many other people to do this and literally since you ve been married day, one we ve never not gone to bed without each other, and I think it's kind of weird, but it's our routine link. We rush, the other, and then we stretched together and we go to bed together, and so we ve. Never liked
slept in separate rooms. While I will admit that I've tried do at times when I'm really mad at him, but then he'll come get me which is really sweet and if he doesn't like me and you d come Gimme so yeah.

If you can say that, let me rephrase out because not everyone has their own and for those of you feed Joe once I am honestly like heartbroken
The relationship that you can have your mother is something that is irreplaceable, but, that a lot of people can also struggle with that. My mom is like Mother Teresa. She always good man when I say that, but it's so true, I've never met someone with the purest of hearts like she does not speak poorly about people. She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. It's even people, I don't deserve it. She's a nursing instructor and she is that type of infrastructure that loves her students, genuinely loves them and it so far because you're students- reach out to me. Just tell me about how incredible she is she's a wish grand Therefore, the make a wish foundation she's. She's just she's awesome. I did so Cute tv is, as my sister and I get older when we just water. Into our moms. I hope I can be half as good as she is much he's the kind of woman where you'll be like mom. Like do you wanna come over to date,

Just because you I'm still learn how to be more mindful, which she's already like one of the most mindful people. I know Venza Lovely she's always learning she's, always pushing yourselves she's in a singing group that things at nursing homes I mean seriously her Russia may is like to die for some definite. My mother and child, star is very much influence on my life. Alex packet says whom do you go to for photos of yourself? So here's the spoiler, so wine I have trained, drew so well, hello, Instagram husband, he rocks so high. Is it not a shoot manual? Biologist get the settings right on my camera handed over time when I need him to shoot and he is actually really good here. He's gotten so good at over the years. So thank you drew for that and The other spoiler alert as I do. A lot
The positive self timers like I'm sorry, I'm not gonna, see an imprint of other people. I turn itself timer south and it's definitely interested It definitely takes little I'll get the hang of it. A lot of times with my body, conscious staff in my body, positivity pose like I'm sorry, I'm not gonna see an imprint of other people in my brain underwear, even though I posted online silly right by I truly there. She, those or I'll just turn on itself timer and then once a year will hire one of my talented friends, which I have a million talented photographer friends to do photos of the two as and when we cottages leak those photos throughout the year. So we usually it's true herself, timer or one of my friends, and we always credit, my friends. So if you need to look at who did those you'll see those in the credits, inner Instagram Post merited clear graves,
please how about your passion with regards to photography, I've been waiting on an episode that you get back to the origins of your store in. Oh, if heard I got started, but what captivated you and kept coming back? What do you get out of the target the itself? So it's kind of funny, because looking back, I should have known that I was very interested in photography remember when my sister was young. We had in others that all wind up cameras and major pose and I put like our line, King stuffed animals in the trees, and I made her like pose next to them. We did a whole phone issue and then college, I was still obsessed with geography. So I bought this like underwater camera, and you know I would say, everywhere and I would add it all. The pictures easing like picnic, which was this weird, weird awful filter program. I asked or a camera for when I graduated college, but I didn't get like it,
Dsl are my inlaws bought me this awesome point insured in, and so I had a facebook album a life through new lands which I'm pretty sure still exists, and so There is always is passion for her, but I guess I just never thought that it could turn into a real lucrative thing. And I never really even considered it. I didn't know any photographers. I didn't understand it. So I, when the real passion started was when I was a pride myself, an planning, our wedding choosing our photographer. We ve seen that experienced first hand and how much I value those photos that was when things had is shifted. For me. That was also in about two thousand and ten when I was planning our wedding wind blew ugh were starting to make a rise. I started following wedding logs and then photographers in so that was kind of the draw. I think that there something so so special about
screening a moment in time- and I know every photographers as I in that you know such a blah blah blah statement. But I look at photos from the past and I am so thankful. I took them, and so that's why I keep making them, and I think that now that I've been a photographer last six years going on seven think that now I shoot lies, but a shoot more intentionally, so, instead of just rapid firing and then having to edit a hundred photos, I want like ten awesome pictures than an actual gonna do something with and I'm still so excited like when I shoot a wedding like. I cannot wait to edit the sink beaks like there's still that excitement those. Replies in media like see those pictures and added them and deliver them in and give that give to people, and so but there is still something so deep within me that just fires me up about it and now it's like my camera, just feel like
extension of my eyes. I felt like an extension of my hands like it's. It's just a goes with me everywhere and I love just having memories so and mean I'm a huge. Legacy. Billy Marcel figures. Such an easy way to have on that legacy. Ashley Gibson says what's wondering you wish you could go back and tell your teenage south. I think that you know looking back. I was always so worried about the way things looked. I the wise, and I think we still are. I mean look at the interim things. We doom by is our girl that fixated on brand names and you know, look good and and being seen in and all these things and I was always boy crazy in his sense of like I wanted to. I need my husband. Even at a young age like our, I didn't want to
a surround something that wasn't gonna last. I always wanted something Inga was tangible, something that was Brian and truth be told like drew was my first actual boy friend like the first person I took my parents I dated alive, but nothing However, when passed a few days or like a month, long type thing and so faggot go by. Can tell my teenage south. It would be too. I come into your own, come and figure out who you are and Prepare yourself like be the best version of yourselves and egg, and you know, there's so much looking back to nineteen years and even my early twenties, you know is this a achiever who wanted to be perfect, who wanted to have it all together? Who is just like hopelessly romantic, and you know it there is so much that I may be missed out on, because I was always looking for that
right person or ina looking for the perfect job, and so I would just go back and say like do that. Inner work, like figure out who you are figure out, what you love dont figure out, what the world thinks you should become, or what you're good at figure out what your passionate about, let's Here we have a Monday moon, temper, she saying Guy and she says how long do you take for you to finish your marathon and are you still running so drew nigh, have run to full marathons. One was in two thousand and eleven, the other one was in two thousand thirteen and then, of course, you a ton of half marathons honestly after our second, for his leg died when I was, though, burnt out, because we were both working full time, jobs and like we could you Ryan. Do our long runs until Jirga home from work, and so we would. I go out for like a twenty mile are in
get in. We should have had had lambs. We didn't have time to put water stations like it was. Training was rough. I believe my first marathon, I shouldn't double, checked this before this episode. I believe, first, a mere marathon full marathon was for for twenty four. I believe was the time that I finished it in in the second one was a bit slower. I had a lot a hip pain. I literally laid down in the middle of the course and didn't think I was gonna, get up anything I wonder, is like more like four forty and it was crazy, we has for the first marathon, I like one into qualify for by sin and errors in that peace group for a long time, and then I just totally hit a wall. I had a wall finger. Like mile eighteen, which is pretty early too, had a wall. Goodbye was still so proud of that accomplishment. I do not still run right now, I'm working on the low cortisol activities, so I hope that I get the running
again, some nay, because there is something so magical about. You know just getting on issues: impertinence, amusing, gettin after it. But right now I am not run very much so Meredith their grave says, have you but ever had trouble with friendships after achieving so much yes, I have inherited talked about it a lot. I think it's a meaningless I stole all being processed in my head. I think, now it is with the internet with a brand that IRAN, it is so easy for people to feel like they no mean leaving that that's beautiful anything that I put out enough content in enough of my heart in what are to do that but I also really have guarded my heart in ways that I never use too when it comes to making friends because a
feel like. Everybody wants something from you these days in it so hard to decipher people that are truly like in it. For you and not for me like a much sing what's in it for me by, but because they love you and not, not because you have followers or a pod gas or whatever it is, and so I have really learned to keep my circle small, and close, so I would say that I can count my close friends on two hands and if I may totally honest. Like friends at I actually talk to everything the week. I could count them on one hand and things that I used to be that girl that had so many friends, but not a ton of like true deep friends and so now that everything has happened, filling people come out of the woodwork. I feel like people love to feel connected. I saw like P all expect certain things out of me
and so I definitely guarded my heart, and I think it is totally made me more of an introvert, because I I don't need to go out and be seen. I don't feel comfortable like in settings. People know who I am and sound so funny like? What am I anyways like I'm just this girl by like where we live. Nobody knows who I am like. It's not like. I would go places and get recognized in so it's very Lange, because it's such a beautiful thing, the way that the internet can connect us, but it also definitely can influence the way that friendships can feel. Catherine beard asks how do you, up relationships with friends as an introvert. My friends the other day were teasing. We went out on a little trouble day, which was superfine, and my friend was like you, I pretty much listening to come your house and polio off of your college and like make you come out because I
The tall really become a hermit, not afraid to minute. My favorite days are he's working or malware, you don't have to see anyone beyond the FED Ex guy in so I'd definitely hard, but I, like I said I like ten, really close friends and so we'll do different weekends. Like my college girlfriends, we so good, I gather twice three times a year where- Well I'll get together will ran two little cabin and bring our families together. You know I talk to me. Sister and my mom every day and the girls that I work with our legs, supertanker like back to them every day, so kind it makes me feel less like any delay go out, which is probably part of the problem. You know I am a kind of person where, if I'm thinking If someone I try to act on it and she just attacks her voice, note or phone call. You see that I am thinking of you today and so a lot of my friends are people. I've met online and because there are no other people, I do what I do here and so there people are truly understand me
so, I really try to act on those urges in and look at. It is like a divine divine messengers, something that may be they need some prayers. Are they just need to hear from me, or some support so I really try every single day the tags, maybe three to five of my friends and just say thinking of you and praying for you. If you need anything. I'm here, just want you to know that you're on my heart's, Dame corny the clean says what is community and friendship looks like Are you as a work from home business owner so It's very interesting, our community, where we live in my friends, I have a pretty tight group of girlfriends, most of which I met at the cross, Fit Jim. We also have a car a community to me, it doesn't look like you know, a false relationship. So it's very interesting. We don't have a rising tide chapter near us, so it's not like I God's, like a Tuesdays together. If I could, I could drive, you know an hour
brand. So, like being a part of a mastermind that looks like community to me, it doesn't look like you know, a false relation So it's very interesting. We don't have a rising tide chapter near eyes, so it's not Ngos like a chooses together. If I could, I could drive, you know an hour, either way to go to one immunity to me looks like king and I withdrew working with my team, even if its remote sting in touch of my girlfriends I live here and then fostering those relationships of people that don't live in my town, but it's definitely art. But as an interview, I welcome it. Amy Elsie says I loved. You know your family friends, think of your success, their role in your journey and whether or not any opinions held you back or propelled you forward. I know you ve touched on only heaving people around who are supportive, but I'd love to hear about this, especially in the early days when you first took the leap of faith so honestly it looking back. There is, definitely naysayers, but I think that
it was more like an messaging that I took and clung to and then was like. They don't believe me, my family, both my image, my parents like they were hesitant for sure, but they were supportive in there as it didn't seem made me want to to make a go at this made me want to. Be successful when it comes to people that the any more. There have definitely been industry friends at a fallen off the wayside, as my businesses evolved and grown, and it's not a bad thing. It's not like I'm angry at them. Radon support them. It's just like at first so long. I was on the defence about it, and now I'm just like this is what I do, and this is why I am in and if you're not interested it's fine, and so I am not going to cling to relationships at aren't serving me any more. There have definitely been industry friends that have fallen by the wayside as my business evolved and grown, and it's not a bad thing. It's not like I,
angry at them. Radon support them issues. I came like we were friends. That's great right! Now is not the time I think thy allotted times. It's more closed minded opinions of. Like you know. What is your husband of you if you say Homan and you're a photographer? What is your husband do and like people just don't I see and that a girl can be super successful these days in and again, it's not our job to make them understand that, like that's their clothes mindedness, so you know, just letting go of the people and things that are serving you, and that doesn't mean I asked me forever budgets. Really harnessing what you're giving influence on your life and understanding like you are choosing to what this influence your life is a positive or negative influence, and so it certainly panes relationships. For me, I M at seventeen change the way that I talk about what I do and who I led in, unlike the innermost workings of my business, and I think
You know joining a mastermind was also begun, unlike suddenly in this group, where people can talk openly about much money they're making or how much impact there having or how big their email addresses. Are things like that, whereas I was just followed this black sheep that was super helpful to just being a community of people that we are all striving to be better.
