What Women Want in a Partner
Ever pondered the building blocks that make a relationship not just survive, but thrive? That's where we, Terrance and Sandy, come into play, offering a deep dive into the essential attributes women desire in their significant others. Trustworthiness, we find, is not just an admirable trait but the very foundation upon which love and partnership stand. We break down how honesty, reliability, and authenticity aren't just lofty ideals but the concrete that holds the edifice of togetherness. Not shying away from the complexities of masculine vulnerability, we pull back the curtain on the intertwining roles of empathy, compassion, and emotional availability, revealing their importance in forging a connection that's both deep and unshakeable.
Strap in as we navigate the less-charted waters of respect and maturity, addressing their pivotal roles in the romantic dance. We dissect the delicate interplay between honoring differences and standing united against the world's cacophony, underlining the necessity of mutual recognition and support. Our conversation extends beyond mere philosophy into actionable wisdom, as we highlight how these pillars of partnership strengthen the bond between individuals, fostering a love that’s not just passionate but also enduring. Join us for a candid exploration that promises to leave you with insights to carry into your own relationship, whether it's blossoming, established, or on the horizon.
In a relationship, when is honesty not the best policy? How do you balance what you want versus what you need, and is there something you need to say to your spouse but can't find the right way to say it? If so, then you're in the right place. This is the Lunch with Sandy podcast. With nearly 20 years of marriage under their belts, Terrance and Sandy Jackson discuss a range of topics, provide valuable insights on relationships and talk about the conversations married couples need to have. So what does lunch have to do with all of this? Well, it's a metaphor for how these conversations originally started. Speaking of conversations, let's get one going. Here's your hosts, Terrance and Sandy.
Terrance:Welcome to the Lunch with Sandy podcast, where we digest different topics and offer insight from the perspective of a married couple. I'm Terrance and I'm Sandy, and today we're going to be talking about what women look for in a relationship from their partner. But before we do that, I just wanted to remind everyone to follow us on your favorite podcasting app and on all social media at lunchwithsandycom. And with that, let's get into. How is Sandy doing today? Sandy, how are you feeling?
Sandy:Sandy's cold. Turn the heat up my hands, though, they just stay cold all the time.
Terrance:I should just start wearing gloves, what you should start doing is, you should wear those half gloves and no offense to hobos, we're going to call them hobo gloves and then you can stand over a tin can with some fire and trash in it and burn it and then warm your hands up. That way we can call you hobo Sandy.
Sandy:Well, the problem is that it's my fingertips that are always cold, so that way out of the hobo gloves.
Terrance:Because it allows your fingertips to be closer to the flame. Get what I'm saying. So your palms won't get too sweaty your fingertips to be closer to the flame. And you still have the dexterity to use those fingertips.
Sandy:So am I just bringing a metal trash can into the house? No, no, you got to do that outside.
Terrance:You got to go to hobo lane to do that no offense to hobos.
Terrance:Let me stop talking. Let me stop talking about hobos getting sidetracked. So today I want to have this conversation, and I need to. At first, when I started thinking about this, I know there's a question out there that the fellows would like to have answered, and that question is what do women want? Now, I don't think we'd ever be able to answer that question, so what I'm trying to do is I want to narrow this down and talk about the characteristics that women look for when searching for me. And now I say all that to say this I've lived in a house full of women for a very, very long time. I was raised by some very, very strong women, so I have some insight to offer, and I also have done some research, some polling, some surveying. But being that we have a woman here, we're going to pose this question to you, and I'm going to attempt to allow you to lead this when I start thinking about all the information that I have gathered and the people that I've spoken to. I've broken this down, from my perspective, into three parts and I'm just going to talk about, I'm going to name the three parts and then I'm going to punt it over to you.
Terrance:Right when I started looking at the input that I was getting back. I kind of broke it down to three things and those three things are foundationally there's some characteristics that women look for to form the basis of every relationship. Then I grouped some things into what I like to call pillars, and I'm thinking about this as a house, because, you know, love is a house. It's a famous saying. I believe they had a song called love is a house. Shout out the four SIMDs. So then I look at the pillars to support. You know the foundation supports the pillars and the pillars, you know they would technically form the roof, but I didn't call it the roof, I called it the spice. So before I go any further, I'm going to ask you this question, Sandy, when it comes to careful of the answer well, I mean be careful of the question you asked for because you might not like the answer.
Sandy:I'm just kidding.
Terrance:We speak the whole truth, and nothing but the truth here, when it comes to the characteristics that you feel women look for and, being that you're a woman, you should be able to provide some insight to this. What are some of the characteristics that women look for when they're searching for a partner?
Sandy:Yeah, okay, because I was going to just say what a woman wants is just good looks, a brain and a personality. You got to give me more than that. No, I'm slightly kidding, but to get into like a lifelong partner, I think it needs to have a little bit more depth and I think the very first thing is being able to trust that person. So I think trust has a big part of it, because without trust, really, what kind of relationship do you have? So the trustworthiness of somebody, I think, is first and primary.
Terrance:For you, for me.
Sandy:Well, yeah, obviously I can only talk regarding my perspective.
Terrance:Yeah. So, from from everything that I've I've seen and heard, trustworthiness is is a very big part of that and there's reasons for it, right. So when, when you trust someone or Someone shows you that they're trustworthy, what they're doing is they're showing you a couple of things. One, they're showing that they're actually dependable, right, when push comes to shove, you can count on them to be there when you need them to be.
Terrance:The other aspect of this and again doesn't apply for everyone but Truthful, you know, that's part of well, it's not truthfulness, but trust, it's part of, it's actually part of the definition once they're looking for someone who is going to be truthful. And then there's also that aspect of being genuine, right. And so when you take those three things and Someone is truthful, they're genuine and they're dependable. I think that provides that sense of trustworthiness that Some women say they're looking for. And I say and I use that term, say they're looking for, because, again, I'll get into that a little later, but I think there are times when you know looking for it, but yet you deal with.
Terrance:It's one of those things where sometimes people don't practice what they preach right you know, I mean, they say one thing and then you know it's, it's completely something opposite when it's actually put into practice. I'm surprised you said Trustworthiness first.
Sandy:Because I feel like the others come along. Once you have trust, everything can be somewhat played off of that trust well, I mean. And as we get into it.
Terrance:So, from so from the people who I've talked to, and and from the research that I've done, one of the biggest things that women prefer when looking for a partner is confidence.
Sandy:Yeah, well, and that's why I started with trust, because I think the trust also helps build the confidence in the woman, so it's not just the man having it, but it's as a woman having it. I'm not getting it and then no, no, I know I get that, but that's how I find that it's correlated. So by having the trust first and then the man with confidence, it helps build your confidence as well, and so that's why I put trust is number one.
Terrance:That's a weird correlation. And I say that because you know I'm a firm believer in, I'm a firm believer in. No one else is going to. You have to build yourself up you. You have to be confident in yourself, right? That confidence Shouldn't come from someone else.
Sandy:So, but oftentimes it does so another person can easily tear down your confidence in yourself Only if you allow only if you allow so I'm.
Terrance:I mean from the perspective of Self-confidence in a person. I'm talking about someone who is self assured, someone who believes in themselves, and when you, when you come across someone who believes in themselves, that means you know again they're not looking. That's stuff that you don't have to provide to them, they're already coming with that. They're bringing that actually to the actual relationship. So that allows you to focus on you and not have to worry about so much from the perspective of do I need to be concerned if this person is going to be bothered by ABC or they're gonna feel insecure about this, that and the other? So having someone who is confidence, confident has has been high on a number of people's lists and when, when we talk about confidence, there are additional parts that come with that right. So being confident is knowing who you are right and knowing what you want.
Terrance:When you know who you are and you know what you want, you can be very direct and it's easier to find someone who is Going to be compatible with you. You're not searching for yourself. So when the two individuals come together, it just makes that much easier. Because if I know that I'm looking for this in a person and and that person doesn't have this, then it's easier for me to say, okay, well, you know what? Maybe we shouldn't get involved in this because you ain't got what I'm looking for. But knowing who you are and knowing what you want, I think many women find that very Appealing.
Sandy:Oh, most definitely. A man can be as confident as he wants to be, but unless I trust him, like that confidence doesn't really mean much to me. So that's again why I put trust as number one. But you know, again, I'm only speaking from my perspective.
Terrance:Yeah and I'm not. There's no, there's no order.
Sandy:No, when it comes to this, that you were surprised?
Terrance:Yeah, I was surprised, because you can trust somebody and they can and you know, and then you have to support. My question to you would be this uh-huh. How can you trust someone right? Yeah when they have absolutely no confidence and you have to keep reassuring them. So, when you have to reassure them every step of the way, how can you know that they're going to be dependable and reliable when you need them to be?
Sandy:Well, I'm just saying I don't want one without the other. I'm just saying that. I'm just saying that in response to the last statement that you're asking me, I put a little bit more value in the trust, because confidence, you know, hopefully, I guess, if there is some, if there is some, maybe that can be built upon, you know who knows. Or maybe I want them grappling at my feet. You know what I mean.
Terrance:Yeah, well, to each his own. You won't have this you won't have that here and again I think with with confidence too, I mean. So there's a difference between no, yes link.
Sandy:Who wants to have somebody, who needs to be consistently you want somebody confident, you confident, that's what you want yeah, no for sure.
Terrance:Yeah, and there's a like. I would like I was saying there's a difference between being confident and being egotistical or overbearing. Yes, there is. There is a line between the two, and you're not looking for someone who is going to be Staring in the mirror all day saying I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Sandy:But you do that. What are you doing?
Terrance:I don't do that. I mean, I am, but I don't do that. I don't have to do that.
Sandy:Give yourself a pep talk every word. And like you are the best, you are awesome. Yeah, you've never seen me do that Myself, I don't have to do that.
Terrance:My actions show that every day.
Sandy:No you don't do that, but that would be kind of funny. I would record that.
Terrance:if you did, yeah, well, you know you got to get up early in the morning if you want to try to record that. So, yeah, you know. Another thing that came up, a lot, and and tell me if you agree or disagree, because again, I'm not a woman, but Integrity was, was big that is big so, and it's not just like virtuous actions, it's actually also that your actions have to align with your words.
Sandy:You need to use your words too, but I think like those go hand in hand together, so you can't be saying one thing and then doing another. Like it needs to be on the same page. You know you can't say you love me and then go step out on me Like obviously so you want someone with a strong moral character.
Terrance:Now again the question becomes, you know, do they see that as a moral dilemma or not? But right?
Sandy:Well, I hope you have that conversation. I mean like if you're with somebody if they see that as a moral dilemma.
Terrance:I thought you were saying you hope they have that conversation with themselves. Is this morally or immorally?
Sandy:So you know, but yes, integrity is woven in there as well. I feel like the three of them together is kind of what makes up all of the DNA on the solid foundation.
Terrance:Yeah, when I talked about the foundation, those were the three that actually I lumped together. So now you know, all women strive to have an emotional connection in their relationships and I think that there are three pillars that actually make up the pieces to that connection. And let me know if you agree or disagree with this first one. And I think that one of the things that all women want, or one of the things that tends to build that emotional connection between two people, is when a woman sees that a man is compassionate.
Sandy:No, I agree, and so I feel like compassion and empathy is slightly different but very similar as well, and I think it needs to be both, because you can have compassion without really having true empathy. I think, like you can look at something and just be like, oh yeah, that stinks. But you know, to have that true empathy, like you know, I'm sorry for the way you're feeling, you know, you know stuff like that. So I think that is important to have somebody who can sympathize with you, kind of see your point, I guess, to some degree, or see what you're going through not really necessarily.
Terrance:I agree, but I would say that that's part of being compassionate.
Sandy:I slightly different connotation, but very similar, like I said explain well, because you can.
Terrance:I'm talking about so from the perspective of having someone who can be empathetic to your point of view. I think that is part of the building blocks of being compassionate, because you can't be compassionate towards a person if you don't understand where it is that they're coming from.
Sandy:I think there can be differences.
Sandy:You know, so, for lack of a better example, I'm going to bring up Aila. Aila is very compassionate. When she, you know, sees things and stuff like that, you know her heart goes out. But if you hurt yourself, like Aila doesn't always say are you alright? You know what I mean. Like there's just a difference between compassion and empathy. Like compassion is having compassion for that person because they're going through it something, and then empathy is really understanding, I think, and feeling more of what, feeling more for the person that they're going through.
Terrance:I think they can exist in the same plane not to go too far down, but I think they can exist in the same plane Because, again, I think, in order to be compassionate towards someone, you have to have some sense of understanding of what it is that they're going through and, in the true sense of the word, that is empathy. You might not be the most empathetic person to the fullest degree, but the fact that you can understand or relate to what it is that they're going through and feel for it.
Sandy:Yeah, I just wanted to put as much stress on empathy as well as compassion.
Terrance:Yeah, well, I mean, that's, that's but I agree. Yeah, I think that for the most part, everyone wants someone who's going to be able to sympathize with whatever it is that they're actually going through, someone who can actually share in whether it's their joy or their fears or whatever and be compassionate towards them in those areas.
Sandy:So yeah, well, honestly, I think it just ties with emotional availability. Yeah the person has to have some kind of emotion to them. They can't just be rigid like a rock.
Terrance:Well, I think. I think that all women want men to be vulnerable to a particular perspective when it comes to their emotions and being able to open up about them. Well, right, because you don't want not saying that's going to happen all the time.
Sandy:No, it's not, but you're right. I think Somebody trying to be vulnerable while still confident, even like we, brought up in the solid foundation, is important, like it's not being vulnerable to where they're like breaking down you know what I mean and losing themselves, it's more listen being able to talk about their feelings. Talk about, you know what affected them, what didn't affect them, you know.
Terrance:I think the hard part about it is people get caught up in social norms and roles and if a man wants to break down, let that man break down. I think social roles have made people believe that they have to act a certain way, and I think that's why it's hard for a lot of men at times to be emotionally available, because if you look at the way that others view it, that can be deemed as being weak oh, that's what I was just gonna say and you know.
Sandy:That's why I mean like it has to be.
Terrance:I guess that's why I said confident as well, because not the issue at hand is we're all human and we all feel, and we shouldn't let other people's opinion dictate how we process or, you know, deal with those feelings, and I think that's one of the biggest problems that we actually have in this world today. Everyone looks at what the social norms are and if they fall outside of those things, they view it as okay. Well, someone's gonna view me in a particular life and ultimately, the only opinion that should really matter should be yours and those closest to you.
Sandy:So yeah, I guess what I was trying to point out was no, I get it, I can't talk about your feelings and you can have conversations about that, and as long as it's not and you know again, this is just my perspective as long as it's not where you're constantly just needy, I guess, is.
Terrance:So now let me ask you a question, cuz see now you just opened up a can of worms there, right? So I think if someone can have those conversations, if a man can have those conversations, and I think they are confident, because they're confident enough to have those conversations. Now you use the term right that a lot of times you use this term when you just were referring to a man, saying he shouldn't be needed, but a lot of times there are women who come across as being needy. Now is that okay?
Sandy:because, again, no, it's not well what are you saying?
Terrance:I'm needing no you was listen, don't put words in my mouth. I think.
Sandy:I. I think it's fine if every now and then you're looking for a confidence booster like you're significant so listen, I also. I think there's a. There's a line between just needing.
Terrance:I just want to make sure that you're not creating a double standard here, you can't say on one side it's, it's fine.
Sandy:If you need a confidence booster, listen, if it's okay but if it's all the time, that's when it becomes needy, and that should be for men and women. Yeah, but I think that.
Terrance:I think the challenge with that is everyone's definition is a little different. Like you say, all the time someone can be like oh well, you know what. You're being real needy right now. You know what I mean. So that's the one area where you want to be careful, because it's every day, that's all the time well, no. So here's the thing, that's your definition yeah, that is my definition. Not everyone has the same definition so that's why exactly it is your perspective.
Terrance:I just want to make sure that you're not creating a double standard here, because again, if I say, hey, listen, you're being needy honestly, my thing would be like once a month.
Sandy:If you need a confidence booster once a month, that's fine oh good, we're gonna.
Terrance:Sandy is saying it's okay for women to be needy, but not men that's not what I said I think that's what I heard and women if they need a confidence booster once a month.
Sandy:In my opinion that is.
Terrance:If you're looking that's part of sandy's definition. I'm not gonna give you once a month. I might give you once a year but if it's every day that's needy oh goodness, all right let's, let's move on from the, from the needy people. So let me ask you this what about respect?
Sandy:that's important. Obviously I was gonna spell it out do you don't.
Terrance:I know, I know I would be afraid we lose a bunch of followers. So let me ask you this question do you respect the needy men?
Sandy:no, no let's stick with respect. So, yeah, it's. Yeah, respect is really important to me, honest, and it's not just even I had a loss for words at this point, I guess but jumping. I'm I'm thinking more along the lines like you have to respect my decisions, like respect isn't just whatever it's not just you as a person, but your decisions, your values, because you can respect the person.
Sandy:You can respect their decisions and values and still not agree with them no, that's what I was actually trying to get at and I could not formulate the words, but I think you're being real needy right now really needy. Right there, there's my one for the month. Yeah, so I was having a trouble with my words, but I think I have it back.
Sandy:Respect is understanding that while you're in a relationship you're still two different people you know, and you're not gonna think the same 100% of the time. You're not. You didn't all of a sudden become this one person and merge your heads together, like. So the respect has to be that I'm not gonna always see or not see, but I'm not going to always agree with an opinion of you, and then at that point the respect really comes in when you agree to just disagree and don't keep like harping on it.
Terrance:Yeah, and respect is a two-way street right, and by that what I mean is I'm not just talking about respecting one another, but you have to respect yourself and at times, you've got to respect those individuals who are around your partner. Now, sometimes, some of those people around your partner will press the boundaries. I mean, I'm saying they'll press the boundaries and sometimes you know you'll have to have a conversation with your partner about hey, listen, if you don't check that, then I will.
Terrance:And I think that goes. I think that's part of that two-way street. When we're talking about respect, you can't expect your partner to respect all those people around you your friends and family if they are not respecting that individual. And if you respect that person, then you will have a conversation with them to say, hey, listen, that's not going to fly. So I think that's important too.
Sandy:So you mean because this was going to be one of my points too is you mean like if, say, one of my friends is being disrespectful, not towards you, but maybe in discussion of you, right Got?
Terrance:to put them in their spot.
Sandy:Like that is also respect. Like listen, that's my husband. Don't talk about him like that.
Terrance:Yeah, and I mean it doesn't have to be you know it's always respectful.
Sandy:No, it's always respectful.
Terrance:I think what happens is when you allow someone to talk out of turn about someone you're in a relationship with, that does a number of things. One, it makes them believe it's okay for them to actually continue to do that.
Sandy:Yeah.
Terrance:And two, it shows that you don't have respect enough for that person or your relationship to have a conversation with them to say hey, listen, I don't appreciate you speaking about my significant other and that particular tone. If you're really someone close to me, you wouldn't choose to actually do that.
Sandy:And it also can be how they're treating me like. To be honest, if you have a friend, that's always I don't want to say always hitting on you, because that's not necessarily well. I hoped that that's not the case, but just saying like inappropriate things. I would hope that that would also be a discussion like oh yeah, no, it doesn't have to be something that ain't going to fly.
Terrance:It doesn't have to be bad as if it's out of pocket. It's out of pocket, yeah, and that's something that has to have. You know you have to have a conversation about if you have that respect. You don't have that respect, then you won't have that conversation.
Sandy:Yep.
Terrance:So now let's get to this last, this last category. This is my favorite.
Sandy:Well, like spice, you can't have any.
Terrance:Yeah, and I didn't want to call it that, but for lack of a better word, I'm just going to use the term spice. But honestly, you know, sprinkles, sprinkles, you can call it the sprinkles, but I think, I think for me, I would think that this would be core for some women. Well, one part of it would be and again, in some cases it's not, and so I'm going to go to the one that I think that was the one that I believe would take priority over the other or the other one, and that is when a woman is looking for, you know, a significant other. I would believe that the maturity level of that individual would be high on the list of characteristics that they'd actually be looking for.
Sandy:And when I say women once, well, I mean baby child to each his own. I mean thank you.
Terrance:This goes back to that whole. This goes back to that whole. You know, practice what you preach, right, and when I talk about maturity, I'm not just talking about, I'm talking about emotional and mental maturity, right, you know, because you can have one without the other. But I think that it's important that when you're looking for someone and again I'm speaking, but again this is I'm basing this off conversations that I've actually had, because, again, I'm not a woman you want someone who is emotionally able to communicate on all these different levels, but mentally mature enough to actually be that person they need to be when you need them to be that person.
Sandy:Just put an image in my head of you trying to throw a temperature in a potato. I don't know how.
Terrance:I put that image in your head.
Sandy:Because I'm trying to think of you as being immature.
Terrance:When is the when is name? One time where you see me throw a temperature?
Sandy:But that just that's. That was the funny picture that I put in my own head for this.
Terrance:Well, let's get away from her temperature.
Sandy:Honestly, again, just my perspective. You know, the only kind of person I want to raise is my children, you know, and I don't want to have to be taking care of my significant other, you know.
Terrance:I'm one minute different because someone might have a mother complex.
Sandy:They might.
Terrance:I certainly don't.
Sandy:I'm trying to get rid of responsibilities. I'm going to take on more. The last thing I want is a relationship with somebody who I now have to like watch over, because they're just immature and well sometimes you want to go to a take care. Throw in temper tantrums or women.
Terrance:All right. What about a sense of humor?
Sandy:Oh, you know, I personally need that one.
Terrance:You definitely need it, because yours is out of whack.
Sandy:No, I don't think so, which I jerk around a lot. I laugh a lot. So if somebody is not making me laugh, you know, and I'm having to find my own silly humor a hundred percent of the time I can probably get a little crazy.
Terrance:Well, yeah, you know, because you know they say laughter is the best medicine, and it's not so much that the person has to make you laugh all the time, but to be able to laugh at something with you or find something humorous that you find humorous Because you know, if they're just stoic the whole time and they don't find anything funny, good, I mean, again, there's someone for everyone out there which is funny, because I don't think you find me funny very often, but at least you're just well, listen, it's not that I don't find you funny, it's that your jokes.
Terrance:There's a difference between finding someone humorous and finding their jokes funny. Your jokes just aren't funny. I never said you weren't a funny person. Your jokes just aren't funny. They don't hit and you seem to believe they hit. I mean you swing for the fences with those jokes.
Sandy:Because they might not hit with you, but they hit with other people.
Terrance:So it's fine. Let's rephrase they don't hit with anyone in this house, and not even, and not even because I know what you're going to say. That's not even just Aila either I agree to disagree.
Sandy:Yeah, there you go.
Terrance:I respect you enough to allow you to agree to disagree.
Sandy:My jokes land more at work, I think.
Terrance:Yeah, I guess.
Sandy:But and I have another one too. So I think romance is a big part of the spice, and when I say romance, like not just somebody who is going to whine and dine you all the time, but it should be somewhat like a love song A love song.
Sandy:What so, when you think about it, all the good love songs that we like listen to, but no, somebody who uses his words to tell you how much they care and how you're the only one for them to, because you want somebody that's going to just say it, not just again, kind of like the actions in the words. So say it and show it that you're the only one for them, you know what I mean.
Terrance:You want someone to sing you a love song. They can just take somebody else's words and just repeat them.
Sandy:The twinkle of their eye. Their don't give me that look.
Terrance:I didn't give you no look, that's you reading into whatever you thought you saw, but just think of like the best R&B song.
Sandy:That's what you want that person to say to you. Yeah, and act like it too.
Terrance:Yeah, I'm going to let you live with that right there. Think of the best R&B song. That's what you want someone to say to you.
Sandy:Yeah, and I think actions and words together are very important.
Terrance:First off, listen. I would say this again I'm not a woman, but I would believe that they don't want you saying someone else's song. So it was not going to be someone else's words. So it's not going to be the words from an R&B song. It's going to be the words that they actually come up with and say themselves.
Sandy:Yeah, but just at least some words.
Terrance:You look beautiful today you said the bar low.
Sandy:You know what I mean, it just needs to just be said. I'm saying as well but yeah, who doesn't love a good R&B love song?
Terrance:Yeah, all right, we're going to wrap this Sure.
Sandy:You can say an R&B love song.
Terrance:We're going to wrap this up. That's fine, as you've all witnessed after listening to this. Ultimately, understanding what women want from a characteristic perspective is a balance of equilibrium, and I'm not sure we will ever get one set of guidelines from any woman on what it is that they're looking for in a man, but hopefully some of the information that we provided with you today will help you on your journey.
Sandy:Hopefully.
Terrance:When it comes to finding whoever it is that you're actually looking for. With that being said, let me get into my reflection of the week, and this is something that we need to do more often. We need to take a moment to appreciate the progress that we've made and understand that each day is an opportunity for us to grow and move towards self-discovery. Sometimes we have a goal in mind and the goal may seem so far out of reach that you're not looking at the progression that you're making on a daily basis. So be sure to make sure that you take stock and appreciate those little wins on a day-to-day basis as you progress. Thank you for joining us on a Lunch with Sandy podcast.
