head? I
Speaker 2
kind of mumbled it, andi and i, i, i, you know, like, and he just turned and i was, i just felt so, so bad. It was terrifically insulting and unkind. And i, i, knew what to say to calm him down. I could have done the thing i should have done. And that's what made me think, like, wow, what happened the night was i realized i had nothing left. I was so depleted. And that's what made me realize, whow. I'm really burnt out. I'm a year in, and i'm burnt out. That's a problem, that
