00:43As the two entrepreneurs began talking about mental health and upholding lifestyles,

00:47the mom of two stated,

00:49I would like to be more intentional about how I spend my time.

00:52I think I have a bit of ADD and I can really sort of get pulled in lots of directions, she continued.

01:40I think whenever we're at the mercy of people's opinions and all the energy behind the opinions, she said,

01:46I'm very sensitive, as most of us are, so I feel that, and it kind of frays my nervous system.

01:53I think also my hormonal phase of life, I have a lot of anxiety for the very first time in my life,

01:59which is just a symptom of hormonal changes.

02:02I think it's an estrogen dominance thing, it makes you really anxious.

02:10She said the past few years have hit her hard, and that after nights of intrusive thoughts,

02:16she sometimes wakes up filled with dread.
