Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hanson, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more. After that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the a method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast.
(01:21):
All right, you guys welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast. I have Dawn with me on the episode, something else anyways, I have with me today and we're about this upcoming summit that she has together and I have the opportunity to speak so welcome, Don.
(01:46):
Thanks. So Shannon, I'm really excited to be able to chat a bit about summit and all that it has for women.
(01:51):
Yeah. So give us a little bit of background as to who you're and why you decided to do this summit.
(02:00):
Yeah, so my background really was a very natural background when I had children. So before that, probably not so much, but it's like the moment. Yeah. Kids suddenly you really, really wanna take care of them even better than you take care of yourself. And so with my first child I, I was really, you know, making all her food and looking at cloth diapers and just wanting to be really holistic with her. And that really opened up a whole new world for me. And from that point on I went into the journey of becoming a doula which originally just started with friends and then ended up being a whole business and teaching more natural style childbirth education classes, and then became a breastfeeding consultants for our area. And I really loved the fact that as I got to know women, I saw them also wanting to do things more naturally, which made me feel like I need to stay ahead of them.
(02:54):
And so I went I went back to school and I became a homeopath as well, which just was just using natural medication to help families. And so I loved all of that and I loved the whole area, but what ended up happening is of course, as, as my kids got older and I got older, it changed kind of the direction of things because I started to see more in the end of mental health and women who are burning out and women who are struggling just to be moms and transitioning from, you know, a working mom to a, a stay at home mom or a stay at home mom to a going back to work mom and all of these areas. And so I guess what really propelled this summit is I did a summit in February that was specifically on mindset and mental health and making sure that you're living your best life and that it's okay to take care of yourself.
(03:42):
And it's not a bad thing to decide to pull back and be more gentle and take time and, and all of that. And from that summit, I started to hear a lot from women on the health issues that they were dealing with, which often was coming out of stress and overwork and burnout, and even just life transition. And so I thought that is my next summit. I am definitely going to step into a summit. That's gonna talk about women's health physically, mentally, emotionally in a more natural sense. And so I started to put this one together and I'm really, really super excited about it because I feel like it has something for every woman up there.
(04:18):
Well, and I, so several things, I was the exact same way. I clothed my first two kids. And then they came out with honest company and I was like, I'm going back to you once you kinda hit a certain point. I'm like the amount of laundry that I have. But that was honestly what started me in my journey as well, was my kids. Right. I was doing it for my kids. I wanted to understand these dyes and food and all of these wonderful things. And so I love that part. And then the second part is I feel like, and maybe you can speak into this a little bit. And, and maybe you haven't seen it. I don't know, but I feel like with COVID, a lot of the women have hit more burnout. Mm-Hmm right. They they've got a career, they've got a job, they have kids, they have a house they have, you know, and then they're locked inside their homes and, and all, all of that has just taken a toll on us mentally and emotionally and the stress and the burnout and all of that. So
(05:32):
Yeah, you totally, totally agree with you. I think, especially like you had women who maybe were, stay at home moms, but suddenly had then stay at home children homeschooling whether they wanted it or not. Right. Or we had women who were working part from home and doing that you know, and just, it was just such a, a forced transition and really not much time to make that transition. Yeah. And I think even for the whole family, right? Like all of a sudden we saw kids having mental health issues, emotional issues that they didn't have pre and moms trying their best to cope with that. And you cannot be a psychologist and a mom, you know what I mean? Like we already have enough roles. Yeah. So I feel like it just, everything that could have come up came up and I think for women, we're still in the transition, we're still re not even, I wouldn't even say recovering. I feel like we're still in it because we're still too close. Right. Mm-hmm so we're still in it. And we're maybe only now recognizing I need some help. Like I need to actually look at me.
(06:36):
Yes. Yeah. I, I love that. We're still, we're still in recovery and my husband and I joke we're like people have gotten stupid since COVID and ,
(06:50):
And we we're speaking to ourselves, but it's like, some of that common sense I feel like has kind of gone away, but more so, because we're still in the stress, we're still in the fight or flight. There's still things every single week that is happening and changing and people are, you know, and at least for us, we're like, it's just important to have a lot of compassion because you don't know what someone is going through. And I have a really good friend right now that is going through some things. And I was like, I had no idea. I have no clue that this was happening behind the scenes. And she held it so well for so long. And so anyways, it's just been a reminder to me that it's important to have grace with people. So go ahead.
(07:51):
I was gonna say too, the other thing too, I think that's happening. And part of the reason why I think this summit is in a really good space is as women are, are, you know, going through all this transition the last couple years, we're also on social media, way more, and we're taking in way more. And that also means that we're getting ads thrown at, thrown at us of what we should be doing, how we should be doing it. What's right. What's wrong. What the problem is with us, whether it's our, you know, our weight our, you know, our ability to do enough work, our ability to be successful, whatever it is, we've been so bombarded with that in a way that even if you, you know, were into social media in the past, you weren't locked in the way that you were in the last couple years.
(08:31):
Like it was a form of escape too, but we were also getting all of this pressure to be, you know, the best person and, you know, the COVID 30, like we heard of all these things during that time. And I think that's part of what I would like to demystify as we go through this summit is, Hey, Hey, let's actually look at life in reality and what you can actually manage and what let's make it simple. You know, it's okay for you not to be a twig. It's okay for you not to starve yourself. It's okay for you not to be on an exercise and diet roller coaster. It's okay for you to have emotions and to have, you know, PMs and to you know, have gut issues. And these are all things that can happen now. How do we make you healthier in a way that doesn't drive you crazy or feel like something else is getting put on your plate. Yeah. And so I think that needs to happen to pull back from all that stuff we've been inundated with. And at the same time kind of give us a sense of relief. Like, oh my goodness, okay, I'm not doing it all wrong. and, and this is some of this is normal.
(09:37):
I, I think that's so good for so many reasons. And I think that would kind of hit on what my first question was, is, and, and maybe you wanna add to this is who is this summit for? Like, as a listener? How do you know if this is for you or not?
(09:54):
Yeah, I think like truly, honestly, I think it doesn't matter your age as far as being a woman or the time of life. Like we really are covering all the ages and stages. The only thing we're not covering is we're not covering pregnancy and fertility. So if that is like your absolute biggest passion, and that's all you wanna hear about, that's probably not for you then, but otherwise you're in. And I think the, the cool part about this is, you know, whether you are, have a, like a young family, no family you have that premenopausal stage you're in menopause. This will cover all of those things because it's really about areas to improve the life and the health overall of women. Not just like you specifically have to have these things in order to, to enjoy and participate in this. So I think that's the fun part about it is that there's so much information for everybody.
(10:44):
And yet it's, I keep saying this, but it's not information that you're gonna feel like, oh my goodness, I've gotta do all these new things now. Like it's information that you're gonna be like, oh, I'm already doing some of this, but I didn't know this. So I actually could tweak what I'm doing. And I think that's the nice part is it's not about being overwhelmed. It's about just taking what you're doing now and probably even simplifying what you're doing now and giving you that sense of, oh, okay. I can kind of let go of some things and I don't really need to make massive changes. I just need to do what I'm doing now. A little more efficient, efficiently. Really.
(11:17):
Yeah. Yeah. And we already recorded my episode and I know we kind of briefly talked about on that episode, how it it's the small adjustments, right. It's the small tweaks that make this big change. I think I've talked about this before on the podcast, the, the compound effect, or I know. Yeah. I feel like that was a really popular book a couple years ago. But, and, and now the atomic habits book is coming out and it's, it's about stacking your habits. It's about these small, simple things that just add up to this big lifestyle change. And then before, you know, it it's like, oh, this is my life is totally different than it was six months ago or a year ago.
(12:05):
So. Right. Right.
(12:10):
The only thing I was gonna say is the thing about it is if you're only making simple changes, right. It doesn't feel like like impossible to do. And I think every single speaker it's so nice, cuz they've all been you know, these things are great. This is something you might wanna add. This is something, if you didn't know about it now you know about it. Right. And you can kind of choose what you wanna do with that. And it might be something that, okay, this month I actually am gonna do these things cuz they're easy, but down the road, this is what I want my big picture to look like. And so it, it gives you both ends of that. And I think that's really, really awesome.
(12:45):
Yeah. So what is this summit about? What are some of the topics that you're covering?
(12:52):
Yeah, so it's five days. It's totally free. I just wanna say that before we keep going on. So people know it runs from June 20th to 24th and the registration will be open on the 6th of June. And it covers everything from thyroid to P C O S. So I would say those are the two more specific topics. Then it talks about like reducing our PMs naturally. We are talking about weight loss in all different ways. So things like how your gut health can help your metabolism and how weight loss is not always about the food you eat. And so it's, it's interesting. It's not just like here, here's your 1200 calorie diet and that's what you need to do. And then we're talking about exercise. We're talking about strength training for women and why it's important. Why is that valuable for us as women? Because a lot of women steer clear of anything that has to do with weights.
(13:39):
We're talking about walking and the benefits of walking for your posture, for your confidence and for your health. So again, not often something that we talk about that just walking is an awesome option for you and it's way less stressful on your body. And we're also gonna talk lots about different types of nutrition. We have a great episode on sleep, which I know many women have requested. So I think that'll be awesome. And we have someone food psychology, which is gonna give some super valuable information. I think that'll be so much fun. So many people will be kind of blown away by some of the stuff that comes up there. And we're also gonna cover some meditation and mindfulness because we need to know it's okay to, to sit down and actually take the time to take care of us. And that's part of that. So
(14:23):
Yes, and lots more too. I, I think that that's an area that I was just talking to my husband about last night. I was like, I need to meditate and be more mindful. And I was like, I have all of the resistance in the world towards this. And so that's currently the book that I'm reading is I think it's called how to train your mind, but it a big focus on that is the meditation. And I don't wanna do it, but I know I need to. So ,
(14:55):
I think for a lot of women, like any of these areas, right? Whether it's exercise, whether it's eating, whether it's meditation and mindfulness or like you could, you choose often we're very all or nothing. Right? So it's like, we've gotta be all in. I'm gonna meditate half an hour a day and I'm gonna do it like sitting on my bed in complete silence and the children are gonna be tucked away somewhere else in privacy and you know, whatever it is, we have this thing in our mind of what the perfect scenario is. And if we're not gonna achieve that, we just don't even start. And I think for, for all of us, it's good to remember that, you know, if you wanna do two minutes and it's, you know, while you're in the shower, because the kids aren't quiet today and that's your only space to do that, then that's enough. Right. So sometimes it's just reminding ourselves too, that doing the little consistent actions is better than, you know, wanting the big action, but never really getting to it or getting to it once a week or whatever.
(15:47):
Yeah. Yeah. So good. So what is the best way to take all of this information in and
(15:55):
Yeah. Yeah. So summits are awesome because you get everything in one place in a short amount of time, but it can also be really super overwhelming. We probably have between three and five speakers a day so that, you know, they're 20 to 30 minutes each. So there's a couple things you can do. The one thing that I, I have been saying is anytime you go to any summit, know what you're going in, wanting to get. So if your area that you are really focused on is a specific area of your health, this is an area that you know, that you would like to improve, you know, soon then go in and take a look at what are the speakers today that are covering something on that specific thing and watch them only. So that way you're not feeling like I have to watch everything.
(16:35):
And often again, what we do is if we didn't catch everybody the first day, we just don't show up the rest of the days. And that, that doesn't make any sense. It's better just to take in what you need right now and get what you want for today and then move on to the next day. So that's one way you can do it and just really be focused on what you want. And it's a great idea just to have a pen and paper so that when you are listening, you can quick draw it down. Like one thing, even from each speaker that really stands out to you. So if they say something that you think that I want to implement, just put one thing down, because again, you're not gonna do 15 things. Yeah. So you'll make it manageable. And then the other option too, is we always offer VIP passes, which is just lifetime access to all of the videos.
(17:14):
So if you really feel like this is an area that's important to me, I wanna see it all. I wanna take it in. I wanna do it whenever I want. I wanna be able to go back to it, then you have an option to purchase a VIP pass. And if you don't wanna purchase that, then you can just watch them as they come out each day. And they're up for you for 24 hours for free. So you can do it either way, but you definitely wanna go in kind of knowing what is your most important area of focus so that you can feel like, okay, I got what I wanted to really know about in, in that process of the five days.
(17:44):
I, I love that for a lot of reasons. One, because I'm the person, okay. Here's a really poor actually, it's a really good example, but it's embarrassing. so her birthday fell on the 29th, December 29th. And in February, there was not a 29 day. So I was like, do I take the picture before? Do I take it after? And I overthought it for way too long. And I ended up not taking the picture because I did not know when to do the stupid picture. And so it was the same thing and all, or nothing mindset where it has to be on the day at the right time. And now I missed on that opportunity forever because I didn't just take the stupid picture, like a day early, a day, late two days late, it doesn't matter. It was a picture, you know? Yeah. And that's embarrassing to admit, but I think a lot of women have, yeah, similar thoughts.
(18:50):
If I can't do all of this, then I'm just gonna do none of it. It, and so we, we sign up, we get started, we have the best of intentions. Kids are crazy, summer's happening. And then it's like, I'm just not gonna do that. Or I just can't do all of them and therefore I'm not gonna benefit. And so I love that you said, know what you're going in for and focus on what you feel like you need the most, or invest the extra little bit of money and pay for the VIP pass and just go all in and, and watch it and commit to yourself that you're gonna watch it while you're folding laundry or, you know, doing dishes or something like that.
(19:33):
Exactly. yeah. I think we're, we're, we're far too hard on ourselves and we do get into that perfection and mindset. And the reality is we, we are the ones who lose out. So mm-hmm , if you wanna take care of your health, pick an area and just focus on that and do what you can and then have grace for yourself and say, I, you know, I got something, I learned something today. I wouldn't have learned if I wasn't here. Yeah. Right. That's really all we need to do.
(19:57):
Yes. Yeah. So good. Okay. So how do you get into natural health? Like if you are wanting to get started, how do you, how do you do that? Where do you start?
(20:10):
Yeah, that's a big question. I mean, I think it depends again, like you and I, it was because of our kids. Right. So like, is it for you? Is it for your family? Who is it that you're wanting to make those changes for and why? So I think, again, you have to kinda ask yourself some questions before you figure that out. I know for, for our family, it was really the idea of, we wanted to have a really vibrant life, no matter how old we get. And I think the older I get, the more, I think that is I wanna be traveling. I wanna be, be able to go out and, and move around and have a walk and even see my great grandkids and be able to play with them. Right. I don't want to feel like I'm not mobile. I'm in a lot of pain.
(20:49):
I feel like I can't do so many things that I would like to be doing as my life gets older. And at the same time, I want to have that for my children. I wanna be able to start that in them and let them enjoy that and then continue that in their own life because it's just normal for them. And so I think you, you need to decide what it is that you, you want it for. And then really, again, the Summit's a great place to start because you can literally hear some of the things that you can do naturally, whether it's reducing your toxins, whether it's the food that you choose to eat whether it's using essential oils, whether it's the meditation and mindfulness part of it, and you can then decide, okay, what, what is the thing I actually can do right now? What, what seems most valuable to me right now? What can I actually, you know, put in my life right now and then start there because there's lots of places you can go from there. And just finding one is a, a great place to, you know, kind of dip your toes in and, and get into it. And then doing something is always gonna be better than doing nothing. And again, if you try to be perfect and do every area, then nothing really happens well. So picking one is probably the easiest.
(21:56):
Yes. Well, and I love that's. One of the things that I love about summits is there's a lot of different topics and you're exposed to a lot of different things and you can kind of pick and choose, you know, I remember going through phases where I was really interested in herbal medicine. And then I, I already had essential oils, but because I understood herbal herbs herbology and things like that, then I was like, oh, these, these, these essential oils are so cool. And then , and then, because I understood essential oils and I understood herbs, and I was like, well, duh, homeopathy. Right? Like, and started learning more about that. And, and it kind of built for me because little by little, so the, the benefit in my opinion of having a summit is you can, like you said, kind of start with where you're at and maybe you really resonate with a talk or a discussion or a person. And, and you're like, I want to learn more about that for me right now.
(23:06):
So, yeah. Yeah. And some of it is even just nice when you see a certain speaker or you hear them and you think, you know, what, what they're saying really does resonate. Like you said, with me just following them, right. Mm-Hmm, signing up for their newsletter, following them on whatever social media and just really sticking with that for a little while so that you can have a little more comprehensive knowledge of, okay, this is what it's really about. This is what it means to do this. This is how it works in a life. This is how you fit it in, this is what I would be, you know, looking at. So you can, it it's. I just think it's great, cuz you can literally watch things now before you adapt and it makes it so much simpler to decide, yeah, this is for me or it's not.
(23:43):
Yeah. I remember it kind of that kind of when I was struggling and I, I kind of felt like I was drowning in life and I was like, I don't even know. I don't even know what to do. I don't know what to focus on. I just, my anxiety was kind of taking over a lot of my life and I was overthinking a lot of things. I remember following someone on social media and it was something that I grew up doing. And so it was an easy adaptation, but she had talked about setting a timer and just getting as much done in that 10 minute timer or 15 minute timer. And I started reimplementing that because it was familiar, but I had kind of forgotten and I was like, this is amazing. And that sparked a lot more productivity in my life. And a lot more, I was able to reduce my overwhelm, which allowed me to progress in other areas because I had a clean space.
(24:45):
And, and so sometimes it's just those, those little things that yeah, and that you learned by fol and I had followed this person for, I don't know, over a year. And then she shared that tip one day and I was like, yes, I am going to do that. So I think that's also really important. So let's transition to essential oils. What do you suggest for essential oils for those busy moms? How can we incorporate that into our life? I was looking for my roller bottles and I think somebody has run off cuz I normally keep 'em on my desk. but
(25:24):
Yeah. And I think that's, that's the great part about essential oils, right? Is that kids are very compliant with them. It's not like trying to put medicine down their throat or, you know, make them do something that is laborous or that they have to stop for a long time to get it done. Like it's just, it's quick. It's easy. It smells good. I remember from the moment we introduced them, both my girls were like, I want my own, like it was like their own personal perfume kind of thing. Like they want their own. So it it's simple to it to adopt. I think that that's the nice part, but for, for moms specifically and, and women really, I think some of the nice things about essential oils is there's something that can help support you, whether it's your mood or your emotions and starting off your day.
(26:08):
And that's part of like my morning routine really does use essential oils because I know if it's a busy day, I'm gonna need something to calm me down and something to help me feel motivated and stick it through. And so, you know, I have my favorites for that. And then if I know the kids have certain things, they have to do my happen to do online schooling. I know a couple of 'em have exams a certain day. So guess what, we're gonna put the diffuser out and we're gonna use some focus oils and we're gonna really make it so that they are able to sit there and get through it and not feel overwhelmed and upset as the questions are coming in. So I think for, for moms in general, it's just such a simple way to manage your household both emotionally and physically, when stuff comes up on a day to day basis, that you can really feel empowered. Like I'm, I'm capable of handling the little things so that stuff doesn't get out of control. And I think that's where most, most women can start is just what do you need most in your family, whether it's stuff for physical health or for emotions or mental or whatever else.
(27:08):
Yeah. Well, and I, I love that you talk about that because, or at least the focus part, well, two different things. So for me, I love adaptive. That's like my favorite oil mm-hmm , it smells super good. It smells like perfume. I'm not putting on the toxic chemicals. Right. And because I am nursing, my body odors have changed a little bit and so , but I also have a little one smelling me all day, so I didn't want those chemicals around her obviously. And then the second part, when it comes to focus and using essential oils, there is a great way for people to help train their brain. So certain smells you'll have certain memories and things like that. Yep. And when my, so I really got into essential oils when my husband was going to school and I started giving him some focus, blends, and he would put it on his jacket and he would smell it before he studied.
(28:14):
And then he would again, put it on his jacket and kind of while he's taking the test, like smelling his wrist and he, his test scores went up. So I, you know, I just, I have a deep left for all of those things and it's an easy way to incorporate those things in. And especially since I work with a lot of women with brain fog, mm-hmm, , this might be, you know, a great way to, to incorporate some of those in for, for you ladies that need to yeah. Do well with recalling things. So tell us what are some of your favorite essential oils?
(28:55):
Yeah, so, absolutely anything that helps with hormones. I have to tell you is probably some of my go-tos, so things like stage calm. There's some blends that I like that are specific to a certain company. So I like whisper. Dium is one of my again, I don't like the smell actually of Jura unless it's mixed with other oils, but it does so well for just my mood and keeping me stable in certain times of the month. So I love that. And then other ones that are absolutely top of my list are sleep oils. So things like that are Woody like V and cedarwood Roman camomile. Any of those are probably again the top of my list, because if I'm not sleeping well, I'm not functioning in any capacity. Well, so I really do prioritize that. Yeah. And then the other thing I love is for is really for the kids.
(29:46):
So there's just oils where I know everywhere we go, they're in my purse, like there's multiple lavenders, there's multiple tea trees. There's multiple peppermints because they help with aches and they help with, you know, just helping keep everybody calm and they help if we're, you know, traveling very far in a car, they help. There's, you know, a couple digestive oils. I like if they have tummy upset. So there's just certain oils where they're my go to, they're always on me. They're probably everywhere, you know, one of my purses, one to my desk, one, the kitchen, one in the car. But yeah, it's just things that, that have become staples in our home and it's yeah. I just, I can't imagine living, living life without it, at this point, because it does so much for all of us.
(30:32):
Yeah. Well, and I, I love that you talk about carrying them with you. I actually, and I've had a few friends recently ask me where I got this, but it's like this little black thing and it fits all of the roller bottles in it. And I carry that in my diaper bag all the time. I carry a lot of Frank Ince and I carry a lot of he charm with me because I was in a rollover car accident at 12 years old mm-hmm and I flew out of the car and landed in a Barb wire fence. So I was covered in
(31:09):
Wow.
(31:11):
Scrapes from head to toe going through the glass landing in a Barb wire fence, like the whole thing. And so I just, thankfully I haven't had to use them for anything that drastic yet, but I'm like if my kids or myself or we come upon an accident, I would want to have something to help stop mm-hmm the bleeding you know, thankfully I didn't need a blood transfusion or anything like that, but you know, just having some of those things as a first line of defense, I think is just so important for me. And it, it calms my, my mind down knowing that I may not be able to prevent some of these things, but I know what to do if these things were to happen or to come about. So
(32:02):
Yeah. Yeah. Super. I know there's a mom just recently that was really struggling with her kids just through immune systems and they were always home from school and daycare. And she's trying to work at home. And so it was really limiting her ability to get things done. And I thought, you know, this is something where it's, it's such a simple fix. And we talked about options that she could use with essential oils. And I was just chatting with her. I think it was last week that she said to me, so the first time that I've had two weeks where none of my kids have been home and I've gotten work done just to support their immune systems. And so it's things like that, right. That as women, sometimes we just need something to be able to manage life in a way that doesn't throw us off all the time. And we're not behind the eight ball or running behind trying to catch up because things go, things go off when you have kids, they just do. It's how it is. Yeah. And so again, like it's so supportive and I think it's a simple, simple option to have at hand.
(32:58):
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. This has been a fantastic conversation, Don, and I really hope that people sign up for the summit and go check it out. It's free. You can pay to upgrade. Obviously I'm a fan. I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be doing these things if I, if I didn't believe in the cause and the purpose for bringing this information to people, especially in, in a way that is free, right? Like you're just investing your time. And I know as a busy mom, I am, I have to do laundry. I have to do the dishes. I have to sit down and nurse a baby and I can either choose to binge watch TV shows or something like that, but really just investing in yourself in these times, I think is super important. So what are, is there anything that you would like to share in closing?
(34:01):
I think just bottom line, take the time and gift it to yourself. Like there is never going to be a better time in life for you to actually care for yourself than right now. Like life will continue going on. Things will go by, nothing will change if you don't choose to make some differences and grow in some area. So if you're willing to put a bit of time into yourself so that you can grow and really have a more vibrant, more, more fulfilled life, then choose that, choose that over other things. And so I hope that you would choose to register and take in whatever you could manage of the summit and be a part of this because it's not only amazing information, but it's an amazing community of women that will be there all looking for similar things. And so it gives you a community as well.
(34:45):
Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Oh, I'm so excited. I'm so excited for this to air. And I'm so excited for the, the summit to go live and, and all of these things for women. So thank you Don, for organizing this and also coming on and talking to everybody about what you're doing and your passion and the reason why you're doing these things. So thank you so much.
