0:00 Okay, guys. I'm being completely honest with you, okay? A few months ago, my podcast editors had this brilliant idea that, "Oh, you and Maya, your daughter, should do a podcast episode together where she can talk about your mistakes. I don't know what I was smoking." I said, "Oh, wonderful idea. Let's tell everyone about my mistakes. Why not? Let's have Maya come on the episode." And guess what? The episode is now out. I swear I didn't even know till last night. My mother calls me and says, "Oh my goodness, you and Maya are together.
0:35 What an amazing thing." And I panic, panic attack. Ran to watch the episode. And let me tell you, now I'm feeling like the biggest bloody loser parent. I'm going, "Oh my goodness, why did I do this? Why did I do this?" is there was an intention and the intention was to depestilize myself so that I can help other mothers understand there's no such thing as the perfect parent. Why do I have to make myself the scapegoat? You tell me that not only do I very successfully depedestize myself in this episode, I am literally in the gutter.
1:12 Okay, because Maya very politely has told it like it is and politely kindly ripped me to shred. So if you want to watch the deep distalization, go on over to my podcast parenting and you with me Dr. Chiffan. Happy Mother's Day. This is all for you. Look what I do for you. Go ahead. Go ahead.
