In 2021, I was navigating some pretty hard life things. Having lost both of my parents the prior year, having our oldest son join and depart for the Navy. A lot of departures. And here our youngest son was beginning his senior year, and this new life of empty nest was emerging. On top of everything else that was happening in the world, right? One of the things that helped was diving deep into the work that I love. But I discovered that wasn't enough. And I needed to make some other adjustments. A series of things happened that got my attention. Something started happening with my eyes and vision that just didn't feel right. There was a change in my overall mood and well-being. And there was a nudge from God that came in the most unexpected way. And that's where Paige comes in. Come to find out she had a similar story. Today I want you to meet Paige Hyatt. Paige is a real estate broker in Montana. She's obsessed with raising the bar in the field of real estate to really help uh established agents create clarity around their zone of genius so that they can build their business with ease. We share our story of meeting and her journey of digging beneath the surface to make the changes that she truly needed to make in her business and her life. Today we share the intersection of our stories and so much more. I'm Carla Reeves, and this is Differently, a podcast where we explore the ins and outs of what becomes possible when we're willing to think, do, and show up differently to the moments of our everyday lives. Hi, Paige. Welcome to Differently.
SPEAKER_01I am so happy to be here. Thank you.
SPEAKER_00I'm so excited that you're here and that you were willingly said yes to come. And um, why don't you start by telling people, just give a sense of of who you are and what stage of life you're in and what the work that you're doing. Sure.
SPEAKER_01I am a um creative person that has turned to the world of real estate. So I'm a real estate broker and I work with driven people that really want to change their lives and the focus is on where they live. So that's what I'm doing right now.
SPEAKER_00I love that. So I want to tell the story of how you and I met because I told you before we hit record that um honestly it's something I'll never forget. Um, but I so when I get ready in the morning, I typically have either a podcast, a sermon, or music playing. And for whatever reason, it was, I don't know how many times it this happened, Paige, but it was over a half dozen times that I would be like listening to music, and all of a sudden a podcast would come on. And it was a podcast that you were on. I didn't know Paige Hyatt, but this podcast with Paige Hyatt just kept coming on my player. And I don't even think, like, I might have started that podcast once. Um, it was through Ashley Gartland's Better Than Big podcast, which I love. And I'd listened to many of her sessions. I can't even remember if I had started it one day and then stopped it. But for whatever reason, this podcast, your voice and your name just kept appearing on my screen in the morning while I'm getting ready. And the title of the podcast was do you remember what it was? It's something about burnout, but I don't remember exactly.
SPEAKER_01Something about getting getting small to grow bigger, or it's based on her theme of her podcast, but it was better to run burnout.
SPEAKER_00But your particular episode was something about burnout. I can't remember. Yeah. But anyways, so I finally like I feel like this is how God works in my life that you know things will just show up and again and again. And it's like, okay, I'm gonna listen. Like there's some reason that I need to hear this podcast, and I'm willing to listen. And so I did. I listened to the podcast, and um, it was really interesting. And but I st in my mind, it was still like, well, I'm I'm not burnt out. I don't know what the message is. And I think I listened to it twice over the course of, I don't know, a few weeks. And and then I started thinking, like, I started noticing that my vision had been kind of funny. Like my vision, I'd been having things in my vision, and I wasn't feeling like as amazing as I usually feel. And I st after listening to your podcast, I just started noticing, and I started noticing that I'd kind of gotten in this habit of like at the after dinner with my family, Shane would go in his room and do his thing, and Quentin would go in and do his thing, watching TV or something. And I would just sort of gravitate to my office and I love my work. And so I'd gotten in this habit of like working all day and then going back and working out, you know, a few hours at night. And I think I had done it for a stretch. And I started just thinking, like, you know what, maybe I think there's something that you were describing and experiencing that we'll have you share in a minute, but that I was like, I think there's something going on. I think I need to make some shifts in, you know, what I'm doing. And so I did. And at the same time, I felt like what you were talking about was I was also in the process of going through some business training and feeling like and and was being invited to like do these interviews for um my business and differentiation and figuring out my customer a little bit deeper. And I was like, I I felt this inspired nudge to reach out to you. And I thought, that's crazy. Like my mind wanted to say, that's crazy. You don't even know her. She's a complete stranger. But I had a feeling you might be in this entrepreneurial network that I was in because that's how I was connected to Ashley Gartland, the podcast. And so I did. I found you and I reached out. I'm like, I know this is crazy, but would you be willing to just meet on Zoom? And I thought I was meeting her to interview her about my business because I felt like she represented like what my customers deal with, my clients deal with. And so she uh was willing to talk to a complete stranger and make time on her schedule, which I was so grateful. And we got we got on Zoom and I was nervous. Like I got on the complete stranger on Zoom. I started, I think I started telling you like about what I was doing for my business. And then you you started just sharing your journey. And I don't even remember, Paige, what you said, but like you said like one line, and like the next moment I was just in tears. Like the wells had just opened up, and I just whatever you said in that moment, like helped me just release all this pressure I was placing on myself to, you know, like I'm I'm a recovering workaholic, and I had slipped back into this pattern of like doing more and working harder and achieving, and like I was exhausted. And you shared something which I'll I'll let you share in a minute, but um that just helped me release all that. And here I was on Zoom crying with a complete stranger, and you were so gracious and so loving. And I wanted to share this story because I think that um, you know, sometimes people are just placed in our life at a time that we need them. And here a complete stranger came into my life. I was willing to kind of take that inspired nudge. She was willing to say yes. And like, I will never forget that moment. That was that was had a huge impact in my life. And so I just want to thank you for being here, and I'm so excited for you to share.
SPEAKER_01Oh, wow. It's nice to hear that story again. I remember that moment. Uh, would you like me to share what I said if I can phrase it? I don't remember the exact conversation, but I if I recall correctly, uh we were talking and you I said something like, you know, when you're an entrepreneur, you're always pushing forward, you're always going, going, going, looking for the next client. And that's how we're wired when we work for ourselves, is that we're only as good as what we're doing now to get the next whatever it is. And I shared an experience I had had when um we were faced with a pretty um daunting task with a family member that was going to require pretty significant financial outlay in a short period of time and a lot of emotional bandwidth, um, which is sort of what led to my burnout. But at that moment, um I can recall telling myself, which is what I shared with you, that um instead of that pushing, my my visceral reaction was, okay, it's go time, let's push, let's do this. You've got to just grind to get through this. Instead, I actually sort of turned around and almost looked over my shoulder at myself and said, you know, you've got this. You've built something. You've built this business. It's not just you grinding and pushing and selling. You have something that you have built that you can actually rely on. And to me, that was such a huge shift in my thinking because I have been self-employed my entire adult life with a few short stints of working in corporations and small businesses. But you know, since my early 20s and I'm in my late 50s now, um, I've always worked for myself and I've just assumed that that's that's what you do, you push. But I had never taken that perspective that um you've got something, you you've really built something that's substantial and tangible here that will get you through this. And if I recall, that's what we talked about, because you you were just feeling sort of um, I don't know, what was the word? What how would you describe you were feeling then at that moment?
SPEAKER_00I think it was that, you know, that push energy, just like as an entrepreneur, you just are you're driven to just uh, you know, like I coach people around it's that achievement cycle that you're just on. And there are times even doing something you love, you can get tired and burn out. And that's the thing. Like, I I love what I do, but I was doing it too much, and I wasn't setting, I had to restore like healthy boundaries around that because it was exhausting me. Like good things can exhaust us, right? And I I remember you um also saying, like you were kind of at a point. I can't remember if it was because you were you weren't feeling great and you were thinking like you needed to make some big change, and then you realized, wait a minute, I've built something here. I don't maybe this isn't the time to change or create something new again, which was a pattern, right? That you've done in the past. Is that right? Yes, very much. Yeah. And you were like, what if my business could support me? And I think as a coach and as a giver and someone who uh has a heart to serve, I'm so used to outputting that way. That the thought of like, wow, what if I've done that? And what if I could let my business support me? Like, what would that, what does that look like? And what if I didn't always have to be pushing? And so that was just such a beautiful message. And I think a message that people listening um will probably really resonate with.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it it's a it's an interesting concept when you work for yourself, isn't it? It you're not used to spending time telling yourself that what you're doing is great because you're always on to the next thing. And I I am a chronic doer. I'm a recovering chronic doer, I should say, these days. Yes. Where it could be everything from drastically shifting careers. I mean, we're talking drastic, to the little things. Oh, I need more clients. I'm going to build a new website for relocation clients, or I'm going to create this social media blitz. Whatever it is, I'm constantly directing my attention to something new. And that's exhausting. Um, and it what I realized over time is it never allowed me to dig below the surface with some of the things I was doing. And that's really what I've been spending time on lately is getting in there with whether it's a work project or personal growth and seeing what's underneath and whether or not it's worth spending my energy on. And when you do that, you you find things that you just don't see on the surface. So that's been the benefit of that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So I remember you saying that there was a point where like you knew that making changes to systems or strategy, which is something you had done in the past, that this particular time that wasn't what was needed. Speak to that a little bit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, sure. So uh I built my real estate business from the beginning on systems and automation. Um, because I I, as soon as I started in this profession, I looked around and I saw everyone running around with their hair on fire. Uh, even agents who have been selling for 20 years, just running around like crazy people and defining that as busy or successful. And I thought, wait a minute, I'm all of these things happen every single time we we we have a transaction in real estate. And it takes up all your energy if you're you're pushing and and trying to take care of those tasks that are the same every single time. So that was what I built my success on was systems and automation and and follow-up, which is oftentimes the hardest thing in real estate for clients for agents because they're so busy looking forward, just like we talked about running, running, looking forward. And so automatically I thought, well, that's what I do well, and that's how I built this thing. So I need to keep doing that. But for whatever reason, I think it's have having been in the in this business for long enough, and it's just like any other business, we're all self-employed. Um, I looked around again and thought, no, the answer isn't to buy more leads, hire a social media expert, you know, do all of these things that are always just being dangled in front of us as shiny objects. I just thought, I can't do it because I had sort of burnt out and lost my why. So for whatever reason, I decided to find a coach outside of real estate. And real estate is a very sort of insular business where it just like anything, we all have our own acronyms and talk and and we sort of live in this bubble. And I thought, I don't want a coach who's going to push me to sell more, buy more, talk to more people. I just I can't do that anymore. So I found a coach outside of real estate who um considers herself a leadership coach. And um, she's a former therapist, which was interesting because she brings with her that insight into understanding what's behind the message that you're saying out loud. So she really pushed me to dig deeper, like we just talked about. I'd say something and she'd say, Hold it, stop, wait, what was that? What did you just say? And she wouldn't tell me what I was saying, she would just ask me to repeat it. And next thing you know, we were digging below that surface and finding these things that I didn't even know were messages I was telling myself. So that was a a really interesting way to break out of that work burnout for me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And did did some of those explorations help you to see like where like where you were driving yourself and help you? Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I uh I I have this sort of overriding need for people to be treated respectfully and fairly. And um that can be a tough nut to crack in real estate. So I I tend to be a fairly assertive person by nature when I'm working, but at the same time, I also give respect and expect it in return. And quite often that that doesn't happen either with clients or other colleagues I'm working with. So I would get derailed really easily if, for example, I'm working with um an agent and they're disrespectful or um or rude or whatever the case may be. It would it would throw me off. It would throw me off my focus, which is essentially taking care of my clients and doing a good job. And so she helped me to find these patterns of just small, I don't want to call them personality quirks, but things that were messages I was telling myself that were keeping me from being better, being a better person, being a better service professional. And these were all internal messages that for whatever reason I had been riding along with for years until we unearthed those. And I was able to see that how they were affecting me on a daily basis. And then she helped me identify those. And I would spend a week or two weeks until we talked again, noticing when that would happen. And then I was able to recover faster and get myself back on those tracks. So that was not something I expected to get out of that coaching at all.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So tell us a little bit about the journey of kind of feeling this burnout and then hiring a coach. Like, what were sort of the milestones of that journey? And yeah, I would just love to hear that.
SPEAKER_01Um, well, I think it was about the beginning of 2020 before everything shut down. Um, she and I started working together the beginning of that year. And um I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I tend to go into situations very open and um just waiting to see where they take me. And sometimes that works out, and sometimes it doesn't. But in this case, I I guess I allowed myself to be vulnerable with her. And because of her background and training, she was respectful of boundaries, but she also could easily recognize where to push me. So for I'd say probably a good six months, we really worked on all those tiny little things underneath the surface. We didn't talk about, well, well, we did, we talked about how I wanted to grow my business. And she is a leadership business coach, but it turned out that that wasn't what we were focusing on. I went in thinking I needed to overcome obstacles on um how I had made mistakes in hiring people and what was holding me back from from that and other sort of work-related things that I thought I had to deal with. And instead, we dealt with all of these small things underneath the surface, which in turn helped me with the bigger things. So it was sort of a flip or an opposite of what I expected.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I love that. I love that because it is like I think I always I think about it like there's like the surface solution that we, you know, or tend to think we need to do to solve something, and then there's like the root solution. And when you can address the root, which it sounds like you have done, you know, then you can really make sustainable change, right? When you just address the surface, you might fix it for a little while, but then it's gonna come back. And so it's really important work you did.
SPEAKER_01It was, and the other unintended consequence is that it allowed me to physically understand my limits as well, which unbeknownst to me, I hadn't been paying attention to. And I think that goes back to what you and I talked about in the beginning, with where we're driving and we're pushing, and and um, we think that we just have to pull back from that, but we have to figure out you know what our limits are. So by recognizing triggers that would frustrate me or anger me with colleagues or even or clients who are maybe disrespectful of boundaries, I also started to recognize how I would feel. Like, you know, my head would start to feel really hot, for example, when I felt like someone was was being condescending or, you know, or I started to track my energy levels. And um, they had changed since the last time I did that. I think the last time I actually started thinking about when I work most creatively and when I have the most energy was probably before I had kids. And my kids are in their early 20s now, so it had been that long. And I realized that my energy high and lows had had changed in terms of when I could work and when I needed a break, and and doing that behind the scenes work allowed me to also figure out when my energy levels were really low. So, when when should I stop for the day? When should I schedule a meeting? When should I do a workout? And really honoring those, even if they felt silly. So I sometimes if I'd have a meeting that I knew would be a fairly intense meeting, I would deliberately not schedule something after that. Normally in the past, I'd go back to my office and I'd start cranking and working again. Grind all day. Yeah, yeah. It's like, okay, we've still got four hours left. There's plenty to get done. So instead, I'd be like, okay, that was intense. I need to reflect and I need to think about it so I can be better for them and give them feedback. And so I might call it a day, you know, and it might be 1:30, 2 o'clock. And I might say, you know, you need to be done for the day. That was enough. And that was that's still tough. It's still tough, but but I makes more sense.
SPEAKER_00It excites me so much because I remember it was like years ago. The first time I heard this idea of manage your energy instead of your time. And I thought, what? Like, I think we hear about it more now. But back then it was like this revolutionary idea that I was like, what is that? I want to know more about that.
SPEAKER_01Um, yeah, it goes against everything that we've been wired to do, you know, and in our culture, we're all about work days and weekends, and and none of that really makes sense if you really pay attention to what you you need as an individual.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and we're all so different, right? Um, but yeah, I think our bodies, like there's like a thermostat that we can be monitoring regularly to see that. Like I've gotten better at that too, just noticing like I know that usually like at two or three o'clock in the day, like I tend to be busy like in my email or like randomly doing things, but not effective at all. And I've started to be aware of when I'm just making motion, but not anything that's really getting uh accomplished, like just spinning, kind of just spinning and just stepping away and walking outside or just doing anything to interrupt and sort of replenish my own energy. And I love what you're saying about just taking time after a meeting or before a meeting, or I was actually talking to a client this morning about you know, your morning routine. And instead of being like, you have to do this, this, and this every day, or you have to do this workout, like for creative people, at least for me and and for this woman I was talking to, it works better to be like, okay, I'm com my commitment is that I want to create movement every day. I want my body to move in some way. But today I can like follow my energy and my creativity to what that's gonna actually look like. And for me, that just works so much better.
SPEAKER_01It does. I there's a trap that I have to watch out for too, because because I am so contrary by nature, um, someone says left and I go right, that's just how I am. I also tend to sometimes take things a little too far, you know. So, you know, and I'm a rebel by nature. So if someone is is saying, you know, you can't you can't take that much time after, I'll I'll I'll do I'll go over. Sometimes I have to watch out for myself and say, you know, sometimes, Paige, you've got to get back in there and get uncomfortable. You can't always be comfortable, you can't always just do things your way and tell everybody it doesn't matter. So there's there's a balance there for sure.
SPEAKER_00For sure. Yes, I would completely agree. I would completely agree. So so tell us. So after this, like what shifts did you make in your life that you're still sort of incorporating and practicing that have made a difference for you? I mean, this is obviously one of them, but yeah.
SPEAKER_01Well, well, having that space, you know, I've definitely niched down in my business. Um, in real estate, it's always take as much as you can get and grind, grind, grind. Don't ever say no. I've never been a fan of that, but couldn't figure out how to actually implement it in my day-to-day business. So I made some dry fairly drastic changes over the last year in the type of clients that I've chosen to pursue or work with. And that's been very hard. You know, if you're in in sales or work for yourself to have people knocking at your door or your virtual door, in my case, my website, and not figuring out a nice way to tell them you're not interested. Because everyone is worthy of service, and um I always want to provide something of value. So I've really tried to figure out a way to be very choosy, but also provide value to those that don't align with what I'm trying to do. And that that's that continues to be a challenge because that plays into money stories, you know, my relationships with money, my relationship with time, my own time. So, but I have um really committed myself to um honoring where I am best, the type of people I am at my best with, and really trying to make sure that that's where I spend most of my time.
SPEAKER_00Well, and that that sounds very honoring of other people too. That, you know, if you're willing to say, you know what, I'm probably not the best agent for you, and can point them in a direction maybe that leads them to somebody who's a great fit for them. Like that, that sound, I get that it's contrary to what we've been taught or how you've done business, but it sounds very honoring of other people too.
SPEAKER_01Have you been? And at the same time, yeah. Well, and at the same time, it's also recognizing when someone comes into your world and they're not honoring you. So it's not just I'm not the one that vets all the time and says yes or no. It's it's a matter of really listening and paying attention and coming into the early stages of a relationship with respect, but also noticing if they may not be respectful or uh ready in the case of real estate. Um, may they may not understand what my role is, and that can be due to what they've you know read on the internet or been told by friends or have had bad experiences. So um that can be tough because in the past I've always taken the path of, well, I can teach them what a great real estate agent looks like and acts like. It's my job to raise this profession all on my own shoulders, a lot of responsibility and teach everyone what a great agent looks like. And I just thought that's just not possible. Number one. And number two, some people just aren't ready to receive that, they're not in a place in their lives or whatever the case may be to accept that. And I have to be willing to to know that and and let it and let it go. That can be tough.
SPEAKER_00Any any other shifts that have been, you know, really instrumental for you?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I had a a real biggie a couple months ago. I am building a single-day coaching program. So it's a transformation day for established agents who essentially have burnt out and lost their why. Um, but similar to what we talked about, they want to stay in either they have to stay in real estate for financial reasons or they want to. And most people that are in it for I'd say over five years do love it and do want to stay in it. Um, but it's a tough business with high burnout. So I'm in developing this program, I am actually working with a coach that specializes in building these single-day transformation programs and learned a couple things through this. Number one, um, the work beneath the surface is very hard and takes time. I have been trying to build this program on my own for probably two years and realized I needed support. So I had to get vulnerable and say, I can't do this on my own. I need help. But one of the coaches in this program was reviewing a phase of work I was doing, and without her realizing it, she said some things that were really hurtful to me. And I don't mean in a personal way, I mean that I am not great at receiving criticism. Um, I'm used to being creative, being successful. And she questioned some of the things that I had submitted as being maybe superficial or unclear. And my initial reaction was to dismiss it, was to say, well, she's not, she doesn't work in my field, she doesn't know what she's doing, and I'm getting pretty vulnerable here. But this was just my reaction was she doesn't know what I'm trying to do. She hasn't even read through this thoroughly. Then I in my head, I could feel myself saying, She's she's not experienced enough. And I thought, what am I doing? So I stepped back actually for a couple of weeks from the project, and I realized that I was trying to protect myself. And until I was willing to take the advice of this coach, regardless of her experience level in what I do, I couldn't get, I couldn't get to the meat of the matter. I couldn't, I couldn't get through to the next phase. And for whatever reason, I really sat on that and thought about it quite a bit and was able to kind of break through this sort of protection, the shield I had of protecting myself from from um being vulnerable. And it it was it hurt. It was hard. I mean, it almost physically hurt to I felt like I was really breaking through something very that I built up over years. And once I was able to do that and accept, well, what is she really trying to say? What is she forget her experience, her, you know, forget all that. What is she getting at here? She's trying to help me.
SPEAKER_00Wow, what a shift. What a shift.
SPEAKER_01Accept this help for whatever it's worth. There's going to be value in it if you're willing to accept it. So once I did that, it's almost like everything just opened up in what I was trying to create for this program that had just been superficial for so long. Wow. And it was tough. It was tough. But um, I'm grateful for it. And that and that shifted how I approach all of the other pieces of feedback I've been getting on that program now, too. It was it was pretty big for me.
SPEAKER_00Wow. There's so many things I want to say, but um I think sometimes, well, one, being an entrepreneur is some of the greatest personal development work you'll ever do, right? And two, like I can only imagine how that just increased the depth and impact that your program is gonna have. Three, like how you you modeled and had to go through probably what these agents are gonna have to go through when they do this program, right? Like that they're gonna be required to do some of that too. And now you like you could lead a story with that, you know, that opens up the uh their mind and prepares them for that journey because that's how they're gonna get the most out of what you're putting together, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's that's a good way to look at it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's really cool.
SPEAKER_01Well, and of course it's you know, yeah, and it bled over to other parts of of the work that I do. You know, now once I was able to recognize um that need to be open and learn, even if I didn't we didn't see eye to eye, I've tried to take that and apply it to the the daily work I do too. You know, if I if I'm butting heads with someone, at least in my head, I am, not physically, what is it? You know, usually it's something we share something similar that we're butting heads about. Um so what is it that we have in common that I'm struggling with instead of being dismissive or brushing it off, or um, it's like I I try to look for that commonality or that that link now.
SPEAKER_00So and it's hard, it's hard work, but yeah, but the ripple impact of that, like that'll just continue to compound. Wow. So if you um if you could speak to the heart of someone that was maybe in the place that you were or the place that I was, you know, kind of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted um and not sure what to do next, like in hindsight, like what would you what would you want to tell them?
SPEAKER_01If I had to share one thing, it would probably be to change where you're receiving your support. Um, that's what had the biggest impact on me. Um like getting vulnerable, like you said. Yeah, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, you know, whether it was that different type of a coach that I chose, or um yeah, just I think when we are caught in ruts or we're burnt out, we we've sort of created this shell around us to protect ourselves from being hurt further or getting further burnt out. We need to preserve whatever energy emotionally and physically we have. So the only way out of that is to really get truly honest with yourself and vulnerable. And it can be tiny little steps, you know, it could be joining, you know, a forum online uh where people are supportive and there aren't people complaining and and bemoaning what they're doing. You know, so it could just be a tone, a shift in a tone of where you're spending your time online. It could be really small, like you said, you know, that that podcast kept coming up. Um, you just never know where you're gonna find it. Where the health is gonna come from. Yeah. So making that little shift then leads you to a person or a program or a coach or readings or whatever it is to keep it. It's it's like a ball, you know, once you push, start pushing it downhill, you can't stop it. Uh yeah. So really just sort of getting out of your bubble and and changing where you're looking for your support.
SPEAKER_00It's beautiful. So um tell us a little bit about um it sounds like what you're excited about next. I think you may have already said it, but what what's inspiring you now and where can people find out about what you're doing and all of that good stuff?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so I am very excited about the program. Um it's called Amplified Agent, and it's a single-day program to help established agents find develop clarity around why they're doing what they're doing and really niche down, which can be scary, um, to define their superpowers, essentially, like what they're really good at, what differentiates them, and then I help them implement that through systems. So I'm very excited about that. Um and people can find me all over the place. I'm on Insta at Page Hyatt, LinkedIn. Um MontanaGoodlife.com is my website um where I sell real estate and talk about things like that. And I like Insta a lot because I get to been experimenting with reels and um dancing a little bit, much to the embarrassment of my kids.
SPEAKER_00Oh, awesome. Trying to have fun with that. That's awesome. And lastly, what does differently mean to you?
SPEAKER_01Geez, so many things right now. I I think it's what I just touched on is how can you look at something that might be scary or intimidating and take something from it that can help make you a better person.
SPEAKER_00Beautiful note to end on. So I I am so grateful that you came and shared. I know your story and your experiences are gonna touch people, and I have so much gratitude for you, that stranger that kept popping up on my podcast, and and you just had an impact on my life, and it happened in such a unique, sort of unusual way that it will be with me forever. I just know it. So I'm so happy our paths have crossed, and um, you know, we might have to do this again.
