The one through line, probably authenticity, and I really credit that to having a lasting career.
I think when I, you know, got in the entertainment world on Laguna Beach when I was 17-
I just have only ever known to be myself, to fully be myself, and that's lasted throughout well into adulthood, and now I'm, I'm 39 years old and I can sit here today and st- still tell you I've always been authentic.
Everything I've done, it's because I've wanted to, and, you know, even launching businesses, brand deals, the podcast, like, anything I've ever done, it has to be something that I fully encompass and I'm fully on board with and excited about, and I think that the audience can tell through all of that.
I heard you say recently that this is the first time in your life where you literally don't give a shit what anyone thinks.
I think when you get into your 30s, and now that I'm almost in my 40s, I think you start to understand what's important in life, and people's perception of you, when you can finally understand actually has nothing to do with you, I think that's a really beautiful place to be.
And, I mean, listen, I've dealt with public opinion since I was 17, and I think at the time, that was really hard.
And I used to go into the chat rooms and read what people were saying, and this is before social media, where now people have a direct line of communication, and it's kind of hard to avoid.
But I think when your life becomes so much bigger, and I've got kids, and I've got the business, and, and I've got beautiful friendships, who cares what, y- you know, Jane in Montana thinks of me? I mean, at, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, and I really do fully understand now that her opinion of me has nothing to do with me.
It says more about her than it does about me, and that goes for everybody.
And so I think when you can really start to understand that and embody it, it's very freeing, and it makes you be able to move throughout your life how you want to, rather than what other people's opinions are gonna be.
