You're not alone, and you're not crazy

Yeah, that's such a great origin story because what I love about both the book and the groups is they originated out of a place of need.

There was a void that needed to be filled and you filled it.

And that's why I think women are so incredible, especially Gen X women, midlife women.

I feel like we... you know, it wasn't modeled for us necessarily.

Like, oh, if you need something, you should create it.

Like that wasn't really, I mean, unless you had like the coolest, most evolved parents on the planet and I don't know, grew up in a utopian commune.

Most of us were like, this is the way, follow it.

If something doesn't work, well, that's because life is supposed to be full of suffering and you're supposed to be uncomfortable and please just be quiet and get on board.

But so here we are at this stage of life when it's like, this isn't working.

The system isn't working.

These services aren't available.

No one's having these conversations.

And instead of shrugging our shoulders, we say, well, I guess then I'll do it.

And that's what you did.

So I love that it came from this place of need of this is something women want and there isn't a place for it.

So I'm going to build it.

And I just, I love that story.

It's something they want and something they deserve that we all deserve.

Like we all deserve to not feel alone.

with whatever our experience is that we're going through.

And that's a big reason that I wrote Unhitched.

I really wanted people to not feel like they were alone and to also not feel like they were crazy.

You know, those are the two main goals of the book.

Like you're not alone and you're not crazy.

You're feeling a lot.
