I knew I grew up with a bunch of
00:00:01
homeschool kids.
00:00:02
>> However, I don't talk to any of them.
00:00:04
So, it's really easy to start to feel
00:00:06
very alone in my experiences and looking
00:00:09
back on it and going, "This was weird,
00:00:11
right? Like, am I crazy? This was
00:00:12
weird." Or, "This was strange." Or,
00:00:14
>> yeah,
00:00:15
>> this isn't normal, you know? And so,
00:00:17
like, that's part of why I wanted to
00:00:18
start the show was to talk to people and
00:00:20
and let people know you're not alone.
00:00:23
>> Yeah.
00:00:23
>> You're not alone. Honestly, yeah, that's
00:00:26
one of the biggest things that um I hit.
00:00:29
I'd say it wasn't until my late 30s
00:00:32
where I started feeling the lack of
00:00:37
having people to go to to talk about
00:00:40
those years or like you said having a
00:00:42
question or feeling like am I the only
00:00:45
one where this happened to me or do I
00:00:47
remember this correctly?
