We are thrilled to have Christina on the show today to share their insights and strategies for creating lasting transformation. Welcome, Christina. We'd love to hear more about your background. We what led you to combine executive and divorce coaching with conscious education mentoring? And what and, like, literally, how did you come across with this Hypno Breathe work as a tool for transformation?
That sounds amazing. Oh my goodness. So my journey is a bit long, but the shortest version I can give you is that I own 2 Montessori Schools for 19 years, and I sold them successfully in 2015. But at the same time, I was also free diving, I like to call it, into a divorce, my 3rd, and at the same time, having a spiritual awakening. And I was completely burnt out from having, the schools.
So, that is how I, you know, I started in this long spiritual journey. Oh, sure. And little by little, you know, I just started to understand deeply that who I was not. Right? I had there was I had owned the school since I was 19 years old, and so I doubted myself.
And was I really on the path of being an educator? Right? And I understood that I felt deeply called to it, but at the same time, I felt like I had nothing left to give, and I needed to find myself. That was the only way I could discover it. You know?
And really, I was at that point, I was very much in love with my last husband. And at the same time, you know, the marriage was suffering. I've you know, I think that we were very much in a place of you know, he's an incredible human being, and we both just basically you know, William, our son, which we now know has autism and ADHD, you know, he was born to us. And, you know, he and I are very peaceful people, and I feel like we buckled under pressure. You know, we had a we had both been married previously.
And, you know, and at the same time, I was a hot mess from the stress of having you know, owning 2 schools. And so, you know, it was just there was a lot of outside pressure in the relationship that just I feel it just attributed to the to the demise of that relationship. And at the same time, I deeply understood that I was the one that had a problem because I had been married three times, and I didn't know how to fix it. I didn't know where to start. I I had already been on my spiritual journey because that started when I was, like, 21.
And so, you know, when you when you walk in that path, you understand that doors close when god is redirecting you. And while I was in this process of owning the school, that's exactly what was happening to me. And so I said, okay, god. I'm listening. Like, I don't know what you have for me.
And at the same time, there was this deep wanting of to help children that had exceptionalities as they were coming to me at the school. And lo and behold, you know, a year later, William was born to us. And he really gave us a run for our money. You know? I have to say but I have to say He's incredible. Don't get me wrong. All do. But they all do. But they all do. At all levels, Kristina, they all do.
They all do. Just we're feeling we're feeling we're feeling this. We are actually, your story is just so resonating right now, to many of my listeners. I'm pretty sure of it. So I know that you're not by yourself.
As you know, there are others as well. That's why you, you know, created the support that you have, and I can't wait to talk about that more. But, yes, the journey the journey of the self, the self identity, your self worth, right, and hope, the burnout, that continuous burnout feel. It was rough. It's rough.
It is. Yeah. But at least you took a step back and you actually, you recognized it. But a lot of us don't. A lot of us just keep going like a gerbil in that little hamster wheel, right?
Isn't that how you could feel make yourself feel like you're just spinning around in that hamster wheel? A a 1000%. And I think in retrospect, knowing now, you know, what I didn't know then, you know, I probably would have given the reins over to someone else for 6 months and, you know, and had someone else really take over the business because that's really what I needed. I needed to decompress. In my story, however, it actually just my whole life blew up Oh.
In every area. Like, I remember I went to go do this assessment of, you know, this amazing coach who's been around for many years, Mary Morrissey. And I did this assessment, life assessment, and it was like, well, that's just no. No. No.
Like, every area of my life was a disaster. And I was like, great. This is a lot of work. It could be. Well yeah.
And especially if you see it in print. Right? Like, when you have it, like, there on that checklist. Right? And then on that checklist, it actually confirms everything that you're feeling, and that makes it even worse because you're actually reading it, and then you're actually seeing it.
And you're just like, no. This this is oh, wow. This is really real. This is real. I can't I can't hide now. Like, I’ve got to do something. I’ve got to, like, sit down and just focus forward. Yes, yes, yeah.
So long story short, to finish the story, in that spiritual journey, I ended up working, you know, I started to channel a curriculum right after I had split up with my ex husband at 3 o'clock in the morning. I had never channeled. I didn't even know what that was. And I remember calling my friend, Sheena's Mendez, and I said, Sheena, because she's very spiritual. She you know?
And I said to her, what is happening to me? I think I'm having a nervous breakdown. She's like, oh, no. She's like Oh, no. You're just trying to get a curriculum.
And she's like, just write everything down. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And so I did. I listened wisely to what she said, and then k. There was a huge gap.
And god set me on the path of filling that gap and understanding. I worked with a ton of different schools, And every time I learned what I needed to learn in that school, I was off to the next one because whether it was that William was not adjusting well or the locate like, there was just a series of different things. Right? So I learned a whole lot about myself. And, that's how I landed in consulting because a friend of mine actually, after I had jumped through, I think it was, like, 3 schools, she said to me, you know, Christina, really, I just I know that, like, you know how to grow schools.
And so would you consider consulting for me? And I said, yes. So that's how that happened. Eventually, I came, you know, once I kind of like had done a lot of work in my subconscious through RTT and worked with a bunch of different schools, my mom passed away, this was about two and a half years ago, and that's when the deepest work really came in from a subconscious level. The and that's why I do what I do now.
The hypnobreath work, ultimately, what it did for me was that it released all of the stored trauma that I had had through a narcissistic relationship. You know, one of the 3, not getting into who that was, to honor my kid. Another that's a whole another story. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yes. So, you know, I had lived through that. I had lived through physical abuse. And through the hypnobirth work, eventually, I did discover that I had also experienced sexual abuse.
And that was locked inside of my brain and inside of my body, and that's why I'm such an advocate. That's why I decided to do the hypnobreath work facilitator training because I realized that there's so much stored in our brain that really you know, I mean, there were points in my journey that I think people thought I was crazy for sure. And ultimately, there was a lot going on with me from a brain perspective because I had also been prescribed. I was having horrible migraines. And so, like, the doctor had prescribed all kinds of different kind of medications to figure out what was going on with me.
And imagine those all affect the brain. Stars. Of course. Of course. Hot mess with a child who did not have any behavioral therapy and was really buckling.
And as FIU likes to you know, they had said to me, you know, last, or to William, actually, last summer, they said, you know, William, we love you so much because out of all of the children that we've ever had this summer, you were the one that taught us the most. Look at that. And I thought to myself, you know, this is like a confirmation that this child who is just such an incredible light into the world, you know, really, he has a big mission. And it wasn't a surprise to me that, you know, this child who really came to teach us all, you know, from an educational standpoint how to do things, but also just from a perspective of healing family wounds, really teaching us how to love, how to live, not to take life so seriously in many aspects, and, and really to just live in a state of alignment, I would say, is what he taught us the most, alignment, love, and joy. You know?
Doctor. Whitfield (fourteen forty seven): But you know what, though? People need to hear that a lot more often. They really do. They need to hear this more often.
So for your son, this is just amazing that he actually has his purpose and he's now sharing that with others. That's amazing. He must feel really good about himself because a lot of times right? Does he does he comprehend that he this is how he's portrayed and how everybody loves him the way that he does? Does he feel that?
Well, He definitely feels everybody's love. Yes. And William is in his process. Right? And what I mean by that is, you know, he's definitely my child.
And so when he was, like, kind of obsessed with YouTube, you know, mom, the Montessori former Montessori teacher and me, like, I was, like, let's choose the point of interest. Like, let's redirect this away from watching the YouTube into, like, let's create a YouTube channel. So yesterday, he has an ASMR channel and he came to me and he said, mom, I just need an email from YouTube that I'm gonna start getting paid. And I was That's amazing. My daughter and I were cracking up.
It's not a surprise to me. Right? Because he just has this lovable light and, you know, so, anyways, he's in that discovery phase. You know? He's in that discovery phase that he is very spiritual, and he is very, both of my kids are, very connected and, you know, spiritually.
And so but he definitely is a little bit let's say, you know, he's more open. And so, like, the other day, I was saging myself because I had been around, like, you know, god knows a 1000 people. And I was, like, I need a little bit of sage. So for the first time, he grabbed the sage, and he was, like, do that for you. And I was, like, thank you.
Oh my god. My child, my thank you so much. Yes. Oh my gosh. Yes.
It's like those precious moments, right, when you just finally, after everything that you've gone through or anyone right now that when we go through these things in life, we are sometimes in a in a tunnel and we and it's dark, But we just know we always have to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Amen, Michelle. Right? You just have to just have to go forward and go through all those motions. Because Yes.
If you don't go through those emotions or those that that pathway, it's gonna be even harder to find that light. It is you are speaking the truth. You know, if there's one thing that I would definitely want the listeners to go away with today is that if I can survive all the different things I have in my life, you know, and it was long and there was, you know, all these different things of abuse that went, you know, I had no idea that were even present. When you when you want to heal truly, deeply, and you want to, you know, and you just believe for me, it's god. Right?
You know, and Christ is at the center of my work even today. You know, and so I think that when you come to a place of alignment and you really surrender to God's plan and to, for me, Christ, you really understand that anything is possible. And that you can just hold on. Just keep just hand if it's you know, if you're going through a hard time, you can hold on to today, hold on to 1 hour because, eventually, the sun will shine again. That is exactly correct.
That is. So I know that divorce can be very challenging. It's a very challenging time. The word itself is just not a pleasant word to say at all. So you both have emotionally.
You're both it's all mentally as well. So you have that, like, that combo all at once. Right? So let me ask you, how do you support clients through this transition? Like, how do you do this?
Do you use the Hypno Breathe work and you help them find the peace and clarity during such a difficult period? Is that how that works? Yes? Yes. So I am a certified divorce coach and the hypno breath work facilitator, and I also am a spiritual, psychology, facilitator.
So I've combined those 3 modalities. And so what happens with any of my clients, whether it's divorce or, executive coaching, the first time that they come to visit me, I sit down and I create a life map along with them after they've written to me a letter of, you know, all of their deepest life experiences and the things that they remember as really affecting them. And then we, in essence, break their life apart and start to connect the dots of all the patterns that are blocking them. And then once I we understand that deeply, then we pivot. Sometimes it's in the first session.
Most times, I like to do it now in the second session so that I can prepare the hypnobreath work. And the hypnobreath work, what it does is that it starts with breath work. It goes into, hypnosis to break the limiting belief or pattern, and then it goes into visioning so that they can see the greater vision of, like, what was the lesson. Right? Or who is their highest self?
And then from there, we go into hypnosis, and I'm sorry. Not hypnosis. I apologize. Into intuitive action and and the visioning. Right?
So all these things in combination, really just transform your life. It's all based it's you know, Franchesca Supma is the one that I studied with, and she's amazing. And she based it off of doctor Joe Dispenza's, work. And so it's it's really transformational. And when I start working with my clients, the first thing that they tell me is they're like, oh my god.
Like, I I, like, I can't even because it's just you know, it's the combination of the coaching and, you know, and the hypnobreath work. 1, I feel that they could not be as effective individually because the hypnobreath work is, you know, as we know, like, 95%, or now they're thinking that it's even 99% of what our limiting beliefs are. It's in our subconscious. So, you know, that's in essence what I do. So now how long so if someone's listening now, so, like, what how long is how is how long is the process?
I'm sure I'm pretty sure that it's more of, like, an individual basis. Right? So you can't just, like, give a, like, a 3 month, 9 month, 10 month mark. I think it's more of, like, an individual basis of how they grow throughout the whole process with you. Is that correct?
Yes. So the way that it works is that I have 2 offerings. I offer either, working with me for 6 sessions or 12 sessions, and then people decide if they're gonna renew after that. Okay. I have not had anybody not renew so far.
But it's it also does very much depend on how deeply they're going. Right? And so, like, I have a client right now that she came in to me for executive coaching originally. And then when we started getting into her work, we were we started to break part generational wounds, and we started working on her business because, you know, I I that's growth and strategy is is what I've been doing for a long time. So there it's just it really depends what the needs are of the of the client.
With the divorce coaching, it's really going deeply into where are my triggers. You know? If you're trying to co parent with someone and you're showing up as I used to and bleeding all over everybody. You know? Because it's true.
You lived it, Diana. Tell me it's not true. It's so true. Yes. No.
No. No. I tell no. I totally do. I see it from my clients.
I do. I see it from my clients. Yeah. Because I'm the one and the back end trying to make both homes for them, the, you know, the dad and the mom. And then the mom might have now a new boyfriend or a new husband.
And how does that work? And then, you know, I'm on that other I'm on the receiving end trying to make the new home for the children Yes. As pleasant as it can be. Right? And with what what has been given.
So a lot of times, there's the houses that, that I work with that have the same that they've had since the, you know, before the divorce. But then we have one parent that wants everything new, wants nothing of the memories, nothing of anything. Fresh start is how they call it. Yes. And actually from an energetic standpoint, you know, like, I've studied feng shui for many, many years.
You know, I would definitely say that that's wise. But at the same time, you know, when it comes to the children's things and the conscious educator in me says, you know, watch your step. There's a balance. You know? And then from the co parenting, parallel parenting perspective, because I do both, you know, with different dads.
And I would definitely say that, you know, I learned so much from my the mistakes that I made. And so every time I have clients that are like, oh, you know, but I really, like, I don't understand why it is that I cannot, like, you know, why can't I control everything? And hello. Control freak number 1 over here. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Here we go. Yep.
So at that point, like, so for our listeners that are feeling, like, stuck and overwhelmed and wanna take control, what are some of the practical steps that they can start to, like, releasing the like, how should I say? I don't know. The blocks or reprogramming themselves maybe. Yeah. Like, in their right?
How could they do that right now? So I think that the first thing is you know, and eventually, I'll I I will come out with a a book. You know, I'm just starting to work on that. But really the 12 steps of divorce. Right?
And so a couple of these steps is, you know, similar, not surprisingly because I do work with addicts as well, you know, and alcoholics. One of the steps is to surrender and understand that, basically, you're not in charge. You know? Like, you have to you can only control your side. And so I would say that, like, admitting to this process that you're in is the one of the crucial first steps, you know, is to understand that you can only control your side.
Another, part is that's crucial is really just you need to have mindfulness in your routine, your self care routine, and quiet the mind. Because for overachievers and successful women or men for that matter, you know, we have a tendency to process and overthink and analyze and all this stuff. Right? And when it comes to these situations, it's okay. You can do some of that.
It's important, you know, like, left side of the brain. But, really, what we really need is to quiet the minds. And breathing and breath hypno breath work is really powerful for that, because it allows you to tap into your intuition and clear out all of the noise. That's really what it does so that you can listen to yourself. Because, like, one of the things that one of my you know, when I first started hypnobreath work, she was actually a divorce coaching client prior to me becoming a certified hypnobreath work facilitator.
And when we started doing the hypnobreath work, she was like, every divorced person should do this because it just clears out all of the junk. And, like, the person who I would have answered you know, like, I would have answered my ex husband like this in a different way before. And now I just understand that I was coming from a place of ego and, and that really I needed to kind of put that aside so that I could focus on the kids. You know? And listen.
And speaking for myself, like, I am not I still have moments and ego still shows up, and so this is a tool that I use for myself as well. Like, I always go back to my hypno breath work to to recenter myself. We you know, it's a journey. It's a process. It's a journey.
It's a process. Life is a process. Everything is a process. Right? It's just on how on how one goes about doing it.
Right? And so, you know, I I hear you. You have talked often about the intuitive action. What does that mean? And how can someone start integrating this concept into their daily life?
Yes. Especially the ones the ones especially navigating, you know, high pressure jobs or situations or, like, the divorce. Like, how does that work? Yeah. So I can't take credit for for that.
This is actually a concept that Franchesca Sypma came up with. And before she actually started talking about it, which is recently, you know, she I was I participated in her mastermind at the beginning of this year. And, and so she really ingrained in us intuitive action. Right? So every time that I would question something, I was always very intuitive, but it's the combination of intuition with action.
Right? And so when you do hypno breath work, what happens is you tap into your intuition, and there's an actionable step. And when if you take that actionable step every single day, the way that your life changes is just unbelievable. My life is unrecognizable to what it was before I started working with her, and I was led to her actually intuitively and vice versa. So, like, our friendship and, you know, and business relationship is a is a beautiful story of intuition.
And she like, the first time we spoke, you know, she had said to me, Christina, I never take a sales call because I had inquired about the mastermind, but, you know, I I just I wasn't quite ready at that point. And, but when she met me and we talked, she was like, okay. We're gonna figure out how we're gonna make this work. And she did. She did.
She's babe. That's why. Sorry. Yeah. No. It was it was meant to be. No. It was. So crazy. That I think I think for all of us, we have to understand that this is a process. It's a long journey.
It's not an overnight. It's not like taking a pill. It's not like, you know, oh, okay. Like, in, you know, in 3 months, I'm gonna be cured. No.
It's it's a journey. It's a it's a process. Right? Yes. And I think that is the most important when you when you know you need to start on a new journey.
It's that self healing. Yes. Knowing how to do that. So what so for someone who's actually starting a journey, let's just say. Yes.
About self healing and personal transformation, what advice would you give and where should they begin and how could they stay committed to the path? Because I think the last one is the commitment is always the hardest to stay on the path because I think you can fall off that path often because I see that with my clients on their home and stuff like that because that's what happens, right? Because life takes over. Yes. So how could how can they stay committed to this path?
So I think that, you know, for me, I the commitment came from, a promise I had actually made to God in a church when I was 7. You know, and I yeah. I basically, in that moment, I had a conversation with God, and I said, use me. And he did. I didn't know that that was gonna happen all these years later.
Right? So that I can help others. But I so that's what's always driven me. You know? That commitment to understand that God was in charge.
But I do feel that the commitment comes, Diana, from how bad is the pain, really. And it's really analyzing. Like, does this really hurt me enough? Have I gotten hit over the head or slammed my face against the concrete wall even if I We're talking some, like, major pain. Well, I mean, we all have it.
Right? So No. We do all we all do have it, but sometimes it's like recognizing that pain. But I think you just gave some really good, like, descriptive versions of pain that I think a lot of people need to hear. So just repeat that again.
Like, pain, like, let's talk about that because that's recognizing. That's, like, the first step. That Wait. Like It it it really, really is. I have full body goosebumps right now because it really is like So do I.
So I so do I. I really do. I really do. So, for me, I had I just knew I was all messed up, and I didn't know where to begin. And so I just started to take bites out of the elephant one bite at a time, as we know.
Right? Like, when you're so overwhelmed and you don't know where to start, it's with the first step. And so if intuitively, for example, they know that they're messed up and they know that they have generational patterns or things like there's chaos in their life or chaos at work, and they keep repeating the same patterns, but they don't understand why, then it's really just starting to assess what areas of their life they need to work on, 1st and foremost. What are the patterns that are showing up that they really wanna work on? And and then getting support.
Right? I like to say, like, not everyone is called to work with me, and not everyone is called to work with, I don't know, someone who talks about, let's say, like, there's this amazing spiritual business coach that I love her so much, but she talks about, like, the galactic, you know, and she talks about, you know, different kinds of, like, astral. And for me, while I have had you know, I had a journey when I was in my teens where I understand what the matrix is all about. And, and I understand, you know, and I think that that's also part of the reason maybe why I was, you know, I was connected since I was a little girl spiritually, but I think that god set me on a specific path. Right?
And so I walk those both sides. But for me, like, when I work with my clients now, I've had several of them that have actually had Christ consciousness come to them. Like, they say I literally saw Christ. And when I was in that journey, my path was very specific. So you will know as you begin to work with healers is what I'm getting at, who is the right one for you and who is not or who is the right coach for you, And just let your intuition guide you.
You know? So if you were super triggered by listening to this podcast, ask yourself why that is. Right? Like, what is what is it that triggered you so much? Because then there's maybe some truth there.
Alternatively, you also have to learn to listen to your intuition. And if somebody's talking to you, like, what happened to me, you know, like and they're saying, like, oh, no. Like, you know, they started tapping me on the forehead and they were like, cancel, cancel, not the truth, you know, and saying, like you know, because I was saying about Christ. And she was trying to cancel it out of my body, and I was like, stop. No.
Like, stop. No. That is not to be canceled. Like, that is not. That's like a big no.
Like the like that like button no. You know, like that like, you press that button and you're like, no. Yes. Yes. So, you know, you just try new things and see where you connect and what works for you.
And eventually, everything comes together and you really begin to understand how you can transform your life. I think that ultimately, you know, there is never a mistake, a misstep in our in our process of what we're learning and growing. And so I think that it's all good in the end. You know, it's all meant to be the way it happens. And we start to connect the dots little by little.
Little by little, step by step. That's what I say all the time to my clients. So but yeah. So it's also the end the last step because it's the transformation. And it's just, it's that staying committed on that path.
It's that journey that we just have to continue and just not give up. Right? That's the thing. It's just because you just need to you just need to you right. It's resilience.
Yes. So now do you have, actually, do you have created, like, support groups so that, people can, be with you and you can give them constant support? Are you is that now something that you do also? Yes? Yes.
Yes. So I recently created Powerhouse Moms, and Powerhouse Moms is basically, a set of expert panel panelists that have joined forces and help women through going through divorce, and going through issues that really have to do with moms. And so it is really, a journey for us to be moms. Right? And what I learned, for example, is the reason I decided to create it was, originally, I thought I was gonna create a different a different kind of community, but I realized that moms, and specifically for me, the single mom, is really out there suffering.
You know, and there were portions of my journey where I had lost it all. I had no money, and there's not a lot of support out there. So, you know, for me, being able to transform these moms' world, whether they're married or single, there's so much pressure on us nowadays to, like, show up, be everything we're supposed to be of, like, perfection, perfect mom, which I was never that mom. I was not. I had, like, my ADHD brain.
Like, I wanted to be, but it wasn't. I was in fight or flight all the time. And so I was at mom in the chat that was, like, a disaster because I was like, what did they say? That I would say I do. I was at I just like yeah.
No. No. But wait. No. In your defense, there no.
No. In your defense, those class chats, just on a side note, for all those listeners that have those class chats, you are going to so agree with me on this one. They are crazy. Like, there are some where it's just to the point where I have to put mute on it because it just gets too overwhelming. So no, no, no worries, no worries.
You are don't even think that you are one of those. You are absolutely not because there's even more that actually even are higher up on that level of those craziness, those cross jots. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying about those cross juts. Yeah.
Yes. But it's just in essence, I think that there's a lot of things that are there's so many issues happening for us as moms, you know, like whether we're trying to detox our child's life, whether we are trying to you know, like, I need that still for William. And, you know, there's a ton of things that from an educational standpoint that I can offer, you know, in this in this community. But I have some pretty incredible women that have already stepped up, you know, and said that they're gonna be part of that community. There's more on that later.
The announcement will come more like in November. But, you know, I mean, we definitely we have somebody who is all about detox and ADHD, and, we have someone else who is an incredible psychologist. We have another one who is all about mindset, and these are leaders in their fields, but women who really helped to transform my own life, and I just wanted to bring those experts to, you know, to the community. And so, definitely, I know that you're gonna be part of it. Oh, well, yes.
I am. Yes. I am. I'm so excited about that. I'm so, so, so excited about that.
Yay. Yeah. But, you know, that's the thing. I think for us for us busy moms, there's, like, that stereotype of what is expected of us. Right?
And so if we don't perform, if we don't do it of the those expectations, that's where we find that inner like you were saying about, like, that going through that class chat, that craziness. You're not you're like that one mom. Right? But the thing is, is that we have to take a step back because all of our lives are different. All of our families are different.
All of our children are different. And we need to run our household as we see for it for our for our benefits. And that is so important, I think, to know that, like, what you're offering is amazing because I'm pretty sure there's a lot of moms out there, that are just lost and they don't know where to go. And it's the resources. Right?
It's the finding the right resource is really, really important because it's out there. And it's just really nice that with mental health and with ADHD and all of that, there is resources, but you have to you have to go out and look for it. It's not gonna, like, open up the door. I mean, I'm sure there are gonna be times where the doors do open. Yes.
But that initial step is always that ask or to, like, look. Right? Yes. To make that. Yes.
No. And a 1000%, I mean, I definitely find that whether it's somebody's looking for the right school or, you know, or a resource, I think that that's the biggest thing that that I have become for my clients and for the community. You know? And I just you know, I like to say I that god put me on a very specific path recently in understanding what servant leadership was. You know, I definitely was a much more egocentric leader before.
But, you know, after a recent discovery, I began to understand, like, I'm really only here for the kids after I had, one of my school clients really, really, like, stabbed me in the back. And at the same time that that was happening, it became very clear, like, I was working with this school where I had children. The teachers were screaming at the kids. They were pulling the child by the arm. And, you know, and in that moment, I thought to myself, okay.
What is god really trying to teach me here? I'm here for a reason. And I literally took a deep breath, and I said, I'm not here for the school growth. Like, she can do that. And I'll continue to show up in that way, but I'm not leaving here until these kids are well taken care of.
And, yeah. So, ultimately, the I think that when in doubt, going back to your listeners, you know, listen to your heart. Your heart is never gonna guide you wrong. You know? Your heart is never gonna guide you wrong.
