Was that hard when you were younger? Like, how do you, how do you prove them wrong, and prove that you're gonna follow a life that you wanna do?

Oh, you know, I'm so lucky as, um, a- as somebody with, you know, a neurodivergency, I'm very lucky that I had a mom who understood it.

And my mom, when she would hear those comments, would immediately be like, "We're not gonna listen to that.

We're turning that around." And, you know, for me, she was like, she knew what was hard for her growing up, so she knew how to help me in what my, you know, life was.
