And up until that I was like, "Gosh, I'm a pretty boring person." Even though all these things were wonderful and blessed, and I was super grateful, but I was like, "It's not super interesting and I don't feel like I've had extreme growth." And it's when I was hit hard by life, which we all will. I didn't have a lot of horrible things that happened to me. I have a great family, grew up in a beautiful community.

It's never too late to create a life you love. It's like I want to give them permission. I thought about it so much, what that title would be, what that title would be.
