Mm-hmm.

And I really resonated with that too because she was in a similar industry to me and felt a lot of those same external pressures that I did.

And reading about her decision to Make a different, like to live differently was really inspiring.

And so all of that combined and kind of climaxed in watching the Minimalist documentary on Netflix.

Mm-hmm.

Which came out the year right before we decided to, you know, undergo this challenge, and I watched it, and I was enamored by some of the ideas and the values involved.

And as a mom of three with animals and a house that we owned and, like, a job that was stationary, I felt like it was super unrealistic for my own lifestyle.

But where would you say someone could start? It, it's, it's shifting their focus, like we said, and focusing on gratitude, having more experiences, but where does someone begin?

Um, what progresses after that? Do you finish school? Do you graduate? How's it, what's

the next step? I, so I took baby steps into going full time.

I still had this part-time job and it slowly turned into me doing that from home because I would kind of, edit do some social media for this clothing company and i slowly phased my way out and i was still in university my parents did want me to finish and those were my intentions but it got to a point where so quitting my job i started doing math and i was like if i did two sessions in two weeks two one-hour sessions i'm already making more than what i make in my two-week paycheck So this is just not making sense.

I could do one other session and be totally fine.

So that was really what helped me.

I also, the thing is, is I loved my clothing business job.

I love fashion.

What kinds of things have you been doing since then to get to where you are to like fine tune either the work, the brand or the networking?
