Um, so we have Stephanie's mom lived about eight houses away.

We kinda lived out towards the countryside.

And our youngest son, he was, uh, driving our tractor, you know, along the woods, and, uh, kinda just leaves.

And about 10 minutes later he's coming back with this, uh, the trailer, a trailer on the back of his tractor.

And I could tell from a distance as I was seeing the trailer kinda wobbling, uh, back and forth, I'm like, "Steph," I said, "That's the trailer that your mom and dad had up in the back of their barn for 20-plus years." And I said, "He's gonna wanna bring this thing and try to, [laughs] try to fix this thing.

There's no way.

[coughs]

Mm.

You know? And so I remember getting the ball and just dribbling down the court, and that was kinda racing in my mind.

Then I get to the free throw line, and I was actually, like, I felt like a robot.

Like, I was actually changing the way that I was even shooting the shot that I had shot for repetitions of hundreds and hundreds of times.

So anyways, um, after the game, it was one of the darker seasons of my life, you know, that evening, and my mom approached me and she could tell I was going through a major battle in my mind.

And she said, um, "Are you ready to break free of this in your mind?" And I said, "Yes." [laughs] And she goes, "I wanna help you identify some of the lies that you're believing, and I wanna show you what to do with those lies."

How, how did this progression go?

Yeah.
