So I would say like the sort of academy mantra that I've made my own is make it so.

And like the first time I heard that referenced, I think in the sort of early days of my time with the academy, just like such a light bulb and such a reminder of like, that was the whole point of starting my own shop was to be able to dictate where my work went and how it interacted with my, my life and, you know, what I wanted my life to look like as a whole.

And so not only does that mean like charging what I want to charge and what feels fair and, you know, taking on the kind of clients that really light me up, But also creating a work schedule that supports my life and my family.

I've got two little kids at home and I have a flexible enough calendar where I can go and volunteer in my daughter's classroom or I can be home on a sick day.

And it's not a big deal and it's not a huge stress.

So that's also been huge to be able to make work work for my life.
