So I want to just, before we get into the how, first of all, this is amazing.

Like, love the story.

I think what stands out to me so much, and I hope that people are hearing this, is that You were so let me back up a sec.

Like one thing that I say often is there's always a reason for our debt.

There's always a story.

There's always even if someone says like, no, I really just spent money that I didn't have.

Like, but there's still there's always some sort of underlying reason.

Yeah.

And what I love about this is that your entire journey was very deliberate.

And you were intentional about not working for a period.

You were intentional about scaling back in some ways, but living your life in other ways.

And I don't know what it was like incurring that debt over that period of time, but I I mean, you called it an investment in your mental health.

So clearly it wasn't deteriorating with the debt.

I mean, like you were so deliberate that you were able to live your life and understand like your finances and what was going on around you regarding your finances.

And when it was time to intentionally move into the next phase or a different path, goal, You did that.
