Thank you so much for joining me today Sunny.

I am really looking forward to having this discussion with you.

You are someone that I see as really positive and I know that the humble side of you is like,

Nah,

You know.

But I do see you as a very positive person and I thought you would be a great guest to share some of your insights on how you kind of facilitate that positivity in your life.

Okay,

Well thank you so much for the interview.

I am super excited.

This is so much fun.

Thank you,

Thank you.

You are so welcome.

Plus,

Selfishly,

I miss you so much and I thought this is just a way to spend some time with you.

Oh,

That's super sweet.

I miss you too.

So I guess one of my first questions,

Because I do see you so positively today that you just have a great outlook.

Were you always like this?

Were you like this as a kid?

Or how would you describe yourself as a little girl?

If we were to see little Sunny,

How are you?

You know,

I never thought or think of myself as a super positive person.

So it's interesting to get that sort of insight.

But I don't know if it's because my name is Sunny and I just kind of grew into that personality-wise.

I honestly have no idea,

But people are often saying like,

Oh,

Your name is so fitting.

Like you're so positive and Sunny and this and that.

I don't even know.

I honestly don't know.

I think part of it subconsciously is I like being around people who are bubbly and uplifting and positive.

So I try to emulate what I want to attract,

I think.

I mean,

I don't know the answer.

That's just a guess.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well,

That makes a lot of sense because of our mirror neurons and everything.

Right?

So,

And we're the sum of the people we spend time with.

But I do see you always smiling.

You're always saying positive things,

Complimenting people,

Sending out love.

And so that's when I say positive.

That's what you definitely do provide that and emulate that.

Ah,

Well,

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

You are so welcome.

And honestly,

I feel the same about you,

Which is probably why we are drawn to each other.

That probably is exactly it because it just feels good being around each other.

Yeah.

Always smiling,

Always smiling.

And it feels good to smile and seeing somebody smile because you smiled is such a good feeling.

It's like it makes your day,

You know?

They say physically that when you smile,

It's releasing.

It's like physically releasing the endorphins and the chemicals to provide a more positive atmosphere.

That's why they have that whole thing.

Fake it till you make it.

Yeah.

Oh,

My God.

I love that so much.

And that's so fascinating.

And I've also read like if you're feeling down or whatever,

Like force yourself to smile.

Yeah.

It's like the whole fake it till you make it and then your body just kind of like feels better and you get it uplifts your mood,

Which is – I don't know if I've actually tried that because it's hard to get in that zone when you're feeling grumpy,

You know,

Like,

Ah,

Force myself to smile.

But it totally makes sense.

I totally get it.

Yeah.

Smile first and your body will follow and your mind,

I guess.

Right?

Okay.

So then I am wondering what is the most courageous thing you have done in your life?

Most courageous – well,

I mean,

Giving birth to babies,

Which you can,

You know,

Which you can feel me on that.

That's pretty courageous.

That's like when you feel like you're dying and like it's like the scene in Alien where the thing comes out of the body.

That takes courage,

Right?

On a physical level.

But I feel like babies aside,

It was probably when I uprooted and moved to L.

A.

After I graduated college.

And I didn't have any contacts there.

I didn't have any friends there.

I didn't know where I was going to live.

It was just kind of like a complete unknown.

But I was super excited about it.

So it was like worth it or whatever.

But that was pretty courageous,

I think.

I think I was only 22 at the time.

It was just like,

Oh,

My God,

I'm going to do this really scary thing and I don't know what's going to happen.

And when I look back on it,

Like had I not done that,

I wouldn't have,

You know,

Some – I think we've had this discussion,

Right?

Like the path you take,

Like all the little things along the way bring you to where you are now.

So I'm grateful that I did that because I'm here with my boys and life is the way it is all because of that huge,

You know,

Courageous stuff I took.

Yeah,

That is huge.

And you said you were 22 when you did that?

Yeah.

Yeah,

That's really courageous.

So would you say that that was a huge step outside of your comfort zone?

Is that when you say like courageous because it was going into completely unknown?

Yeah,

I feel like even if I had known one person in L.

A.

,

It probably would have been a little easier.

Like I didn't know anybody.

And when you move to a city where like it has a notorious reputation for like horrible 405 traffic or you know what I mean?

Like it's not an easy place to move to.

It's probably one of the scariest places to move to on your own.

And I think it was easier for me because I've never felt rooted down or I've never felt like home was home,

Do you know what I mean?

And I kind of wanted to escape.

It's kind of like a shitty time in my life.

So I was just like I got to get the fuck out of here.

I'm sorry.

I'm cussing out.

That's okay.

Oh.

You can cuss.

It's okay.

It was courageous and bold,

But also necessary.

It was something I felt like I had to do for like my sanity and well-being.

Okay.

So then with that,

Were there things that you were telling yourself to encourage yourself that it's going to be okay,

I'm going to do this,

Even though it's scary,

I'm doing it anyway?

I wasn't like actively,

But I'm sure I was like subconsciously or I don't know.

I didn't really put too much thought into it.

Also,

Can I just add to the whole like courageous thing?

This was pre like MapQuest.

Do you know what I mean?

This was like when you had to use like real maps,

Like from a book.

I am perpetually,

I'm the queen of disorientation.

So moving to a city where like,

I don't know where I am.

I don't know any people.

I think I always knew like bottom line,

I would be okay.

I think I just put faith in the universe that everything would work out.

Yeah,

I think that was the only kind of comfort I had in like knowing everything's okay.

I kind of feel that way with like turbulence in an airplane.

I freaking love turbulence because it's like a free roller coaster.

But I don't freak out about it because I have complete faith in the pilot and in the vessel.

Do you know what I mean?

Like when you feel safe and comfortable,

Like you can enjoy the bumps too,

Or you can appreciate them.

Oh,

That's really beautiful.

So you truly enjoy the process and trust the process.

Yeah,

Yeah.

As much as one can.

Yeah,

That's really great.

I love that,

Sunny.

That's really nice.

Because I think that a lot of people struggle with trusting the process.

Right.

They'll stay in an uncomfortable situation that they don't want to because they know how to deal with that and trusting the process to do something that pushes them or pulls them to what they want to do.

And they'll freeze because they're not trusting the process.

They want to have control of the process.

And it sounds like you were just like,

You know what,

I'm throwing my hands up.

I'm going to trust the process and I'm going to go for it.

And I don't know if I'm always like that in all regards of life,

But I definitely was.

And I want to get better at that because that's truly a great way to live when you can just like,

Yeah,

Trust in the process.

It's like a very freeing thing like okay,

This is going to be.

Yeah.

Okay,

So then when thinking about that,

Trusting the process,

Then I would love to get your insight on what you think is the most productive way to handle disappointments.

Because I'm sure when you're making a big shift like that,

Disappointments do happen.

Or just in life in general,

Like we can't go through this life without having disappointments come up.

So what do you think is the most productive way or what have you found has been your most productive way to get through those disappointments so that you don't dwell on them and they don't weigh you down?

So you'll appreciate this because I know you're all into this.

I basically practice gratitude,

You know,

Like as crappy as a day could be.

You know those days where it's just like compound crap.

It's like from the moment you wake up till the moment you fall asleep,

Just like horrible events one after another after another and it's like universe what's going on?

It's like nothing can go right.

A,

I know those days will pass and B,

Like there are people starving in countries.

There are like people living on the streets.

There's people with no food.

There's people with like no legs,

No arms.

You know what I mean?

Like there's so much worse and I put that in perspective and then I'm like,

Oh,

You know what?

I have food in my belly.

I have a roof over my head.

I have family.

I have friends.

Like everything's okay.

Like whatever I'm stressing out about,

Like everything's okay.

And I always jump to that.

Like it could be worse.

And that's a great way to kind of re- what was the word I was going to use?

Anyway,

It's good to shift your perspective on with the same time validating that your stuff can still suck.

However,

It could always be worse.

And so instead of focusing on what's going crappy,

Then you said you kind of shifted over to what you are grateful for.

So when you do have a gratitude practice,

What does that look like?

What is your gratitude practice?

Well,

Every night before bed,

I go over 10 things I'm grateful for.

Like almost,

I'd say I'm 90% with that.

Like I'm pretty consistent.

But in the moment when I'm having a crappy day,

Like I have to catch myself.

I have to catch myself.

And it's easy to catch other people.

Like when they're going off,

I think in my head,

Oh,

It could be worse.

But obviously I'm not saying anything.

So I have to catch myself in that negative thinking and be like,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa.

Let's slow down and think about things.

And also,

Any time there's disappointment or failure,

It's an opportunity to learn.

And I know that's super cheesy.

But it's true.

It's like,

What can you work on?

What can you do better?

How can you reach that goal next time?

Like it's a process.

We're always learning.

And again,

As long as you're safety,

Happy,

Healthy,

Like in general,

Like everything's okay.

That's right.

And so I love a few things that you said there.

But I want to go back to the 10 things that you say at night when you gratitude practice.

Are they things that are currently happening?

Are they the same 10 things?

Or are they big things,

Small things?

What kind of,

Can you give an example of something you would think of?

Maybe two different examples to show what you would kind of think when you do your gratitude practice and why 10?

Okay.

Ten more for just like the habit,

You know,

Just to be consistent about it.

And I think it's an easy,

Attainable number.

Examples could be anywhere from I'm so in love with my bed.

Like every time I lay in there,

Because I'm usually doing my list of 10 as I'm laying down.

And literally,

I've seen people marry their houses,

Marry horses,

Marry,

Like marry things.

Like if I could marry my bed,

I would so that almost always makes it in there.

But even things if I'm like reminiscing about a really awesome meal I made in my air fryer,

Like that could be in there.

Or if I have like an exciting trip coming up,

Or even if I blogged,

Which like if I've been slacking for a long time,

Then all of a sudden I got productive and I got my mojo and I did,

You know,

I did something awesome for VBR,

Then I'll be grateful for that.

So it just depends.

And obviously my kids are like a fundamental.

I almost feel like certain things like home,

You know,

Certain things are just like they make it in the list no matter what you don't even have to add them to the top 10.

It's like they're there.

But yeah,

So it's a mix of ones that pop up frequently and then ones that are based on circumstances and what's going on day to day.

That's really nice.

Do you notice on the days when you do do it versus the days for some reason,

The practice slipped your mind or you just were too tired and fell asleep.

Do you notice how you'll does it make a difference in the way you sleep or how you wake up the next day?

You know,

I haven't paid attention to that per se,

But I will say every night when I do my 10 like at the end of it,

It's like a ah,

You know,

It's like a it's like a good night kiss to yourself.

Do you know what I mean?

It's like the nicest feeling to go to sleep to I don't know if it changes the way I sleep or how I wake up,

But it's definitely a good feeling.

I'm going to sleep.

I love that a good night kiss to yourself.

That's awesome.

That's really great.

The other thing you said in there that I thought was really,

Really powerful that I want to highlight because I think a lot of people will skip this step when they're trying to change a habit or add a habit in is you said that if you'll you'll catch yourself thinking something if it's like,

Oh,

They could they could have so much worse or something like that.

You'll catch yourself and then switch it in that moment.

And that is such a key practice that I don't know if you're aware of that doing that.

But that is when something changes.

That is when we change a behavior.

That is when we change a habit is in the moment we have to catch ourselves doing what we don't want to be doing and then switch it to what we do want to be doing.

So that is huge.

And I love that you do that,

Which explains why I see you as such a positive person.

Well,

I feel like that's definitely a skill that takes a lot of practice.

And it's basically like self awareness to be like,

Oh,

Hold up,

What I'm doing doesn't feel good.

It's not right.

And sometimes we don't even want to admit that to ourselves,

You know,

Because we're just doing our thing.

So I think like age and growth time experience,

Like I feel because I'm 38 like I'm getting better at this kind of thing.

Like I can't imagine like in my 20s doing practicing any of this stuff.

I can just organically kind of sunk into my life this at this stage,

Which I don't know,

I just am feeling more whole practicing more of these kinds of things on a day to day basis.

That's really nice.

I like that.

Okay,

So now if you were to think of Sunny 10 years from today,

So 48 year old Sunny,

Thinking of where you'll be then what do you think and all the growth you've even done if you think about all the growth you've done in this last 10 years,

So 10 years from now,

That's a lot more growth.

So what would that Sunny say to you today if she had the chance?

Oh,

She would,

You know,

I keep making these goals like,

Oh,

I want to do more traveling and have more experiences and this and that.

And then it's like the next year goes on.

I'm like,

I'm not doing just that.

So I would reiterate to myself now like girl,

You need to do like be more proactive,

Write things down,

Get your goals done,

Like have more experiences.

I feel like I'm super slacking in that department.

And I know just as you as you get older,

That's when you look back and you're like,

Damn,

I should have done more of XYZ.

And I already like it's like when I recently made a YouTube video of like a life update.

And I realized like,

Dang,

I haven't really done a lot of stuff that I want to do.

So it's good to make that assessment.

And if I could just like compound make that assessment for my future self to my now self.

In fact,

I'm taking that note right now.

You know what,

I'm gonna be more proactive.

I want to do more things because life is so short.

Like people have heart attacks in their 40s and 50s and you get run over by a bus,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Like all those things.

It's just so important to live because there's no other point.

Like you have to experience life and your friends and family and experiences and all that stuff.

So I definitely want to live more.

Okay.

37.

Oh,

Did I say 37?

I don't know my age.

38 years old.

Get your shit together.

Okay,

So go have your experiences,

Live your life and do the goals that you're setting for yourself now.

Okay,

I like that.

That'll be good.

So this is recorded.

So I'll hold you accountable.

Okay,

So I'm curious,

Then you have a gratitude practice.

And I know we went to do you remember when we went to the Tony Roberts conference or not?

I guess it wasn't the Tony Robbins conference.

It was a conference that Tony Robbins spoke at.

And do you remember how we talked about mindset and having like choosing your mindset?

So since then,

Have you developed a mindset practice or routine that allows you to not dwell on the challenges of life and to assist you to go and achieve those goals and just make it through every day?

Oh,

Man,

Again,

Like not actively,

Like not proactively,

But maybe subconsciously or passively like,

Um,

And I think because of all of my life shifts that have happened in the past year of like moving and getting divorced and like having to date again and dealing with all that crazy.

It has forced me to change my mindset organically almost as like a survival mode.

So I don't know if I drew things.

I don't know.

I'm kind of bad about putting things into practice in the moment.

They usually have to serve a purpose like,

Oh,

I need to do this.

I don't know.

I don't know.

My words aren't coming out very eloquently.

But,

Um,

I definitely have little tools and tricks to protect myself and to like create a like a safety.

Okay,

Well,

How about this?

What tools and tricks do you use to keep yourself in a positive or more productive mindset filled with gratitude besides your gratitude practice?

Is there anything else you do that helps you maintain a positive or more uplifted mindset?

Well,

I definitely like meditate and do yoga,

You know,

And yeah,

The whole gratitude,

Like verbal slash mental journal.

Um,

And just,

I don't know.

That's a hard one to answer.

I don't really know.

Well,

Is it fair to say that meditation,

Yoga and gratitude are pretty big things and perhaps you don't need to add more to that?

Yeah,

You know what?

Ding,

Ding,

Ding.

That's really good stuff.

Yeah,

You're right.

And I'm sure there are like littler things that I do do that I just,

You know,

Are just so part of my routine.

I don't even think about them.

But yeah,

Those are definitely the major ones and yeah,

They're big.

You're right.

I would almost add now,

I don't know if you would recognize this,

But as someone who is a friend and I know that you are great at teaching people things whether,

And I feel like you're very compassion based and so I know that you,

Even to me teaching me yoga moves or teaching me about more vegan type products or just how to not have to strive for perfection in certain areas.

Just do what you can and that's good enough.

Like you don't always have to go a hundred percent in order for it to count.

And so I know those are some things that I've gotten from you.

And so those might be things that are just the way you live.

So you don't even think of it.

However,

I'm sure you're some other people who follow you are fans of you have probably also experienced that from you.

Do you think that's a fair statement?

Yeah,

That's interesting.

And thank you,

By the way.

You're welcome.

That's true.

I mean,

I definitely see that with you that you're always reminding like,

Hey,

It doesn't have to be that even like,

Let's say when we were practicing shoulder stands,

You're like,

Just go to this step next.

And that's still really good.

You don't have to nail it perfectly like someone who's been doing yoga in this pose for 10 years.

Like where you're at right now is great.

So own that.

I think that a lot with just veganism in general because like running Vegan Beauty Review,

There's a lot of vegan noobs that want advice or like they're curious about it.

Like how do I do it?

That's like the main thing I say is you have to do it to where it's sustainable and then baby steps and at a pace that's comfortable,

And you don't have to just like jump right into it.

You know,

You don't have to just,

It's just,

It's progress,

Not perfection.

Right?

Like it's so important to be gentle with yourself.

And it's also easier to maintain that way.

It is more sustainable.

Otherwise you fall off the horse and then it's hard to get back on.

Yeah.

And then we could get caught in beating ourselves up.

So I think that is a great message that you might just naturally do that could perhaps be part of just your mindset.

That's just so you,

It's just a habit.

You don't even have to think about doing it anymore.

It's just who you are.

Oh,

That could be.

Yeah,

I think you're right.

Okay.

So then talking about yoga and meditation,

Do you have a favorite current workout that you're doing that you are doing?

And not just yoga meditation,

But I've been going to the gym almost like five days a week consistently for like months now.

And that especially doing it in the morning,

Sets me up for success.

And it makes you have all those awesome endorphins and it just uplifts your mood.

You wind up eating better throughout the day.

You just have,

You're in better spirits.

So I usually do that in the morning and I almost always do my yoga at night before bed.

So before bed,

I'll do an ab workout,

A leg workout,

And then yoga.

Unless I'm doing like headstands or handstands,

I'll do those like throughout the day just as I'm like walking through the hall or whatever.

But what was the question?

Your favorite go-to workout right now.

So when you go to the gym,

What are you doing?

Okay.

So right now my favorite class is Zumba,

Like hands down.

And I'm one of those girls,

Like I have to do a class.

I can't just like treadmill it up or do weights.

Like A,

I don't know what I'm doing and B,

It's not fun to me.

So I mean,

I'll do it,

But I way prefer classes.

And then I'm stuck there the whole hour and there's almost like this pressure where like,

Oh,

You got to stay with it.

You know what I mean?

So I love Zumba.

I love circuit training.

Like there's this one class I go to where it's just like where they alternate stations where it's like cardio weights,

Cardio weights or whatever.

And I don't know.

Those are my two favorite right now.

That's awesome.

So that also sounds like a part of your routine to set yourself up for a successful and positive day.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Okay.

So now what would you say has been a very impactful life lesson for you?

I've had a few of those,

But I'd probably say,

You know,

There was one year,

Was it the year 2000?

I don't remember.

But it was like,

You know,

I was telling you there's some of those days where it's like from the morning to night,

Everything's going wrong.

Well,

I had a year,

A whole year like that where I was a full time student.

I had two jobs.

I was in two plays.

This was all at the same time.

And I was in like a rocky relationship with my boyfriend.

I was homeless.

I had nowhere to live because my sister kicked me out of her house and I wasn't living with my dad.

He essentially kicked me out of his house and my mom was being really weird and I couldn't live with her.

And it was just I had nowhere to live.

I was always,

I had like two pairs of socks and a shirt.

It was just a shitty year.

Like my sister had put all my stuff,

Like locked me out,

Put all my crap outside the house.

I literally had nowhere to live.

Like my textbooks were,

Oh it was a crazy year.

But I feel like I learned so much from that,

Almost just from growing up in general.

Like you're the only person you can count on.

Do you know what I mean?

Even family.

Like when family takes you over,

That's like the ultimate like,

Well,

Man,

I can't count on anybody.

I've always been as far as I always kind of have that safety for me as far as especially when it comes to finances.

Like I'm always afraid that I will be homeless or I don't know,

Like I'm scared I won't have food or I won't have shelter.

So it's kind of like,

I guess you could say a life lesson,

But maybe an unhealthy one.

But I mean,

In a way a positive one too,

Because I can only depend on myself.

Like guaranteed,

Guaranteed.

Like obviously I can depend on friends and family to an extent,

But like guaranteed I've got my back.

Yeah.

That's a heavy,

That's a heavy lesson to learn that at the end of the day.

Because there's a lot of hurt in that.

But then it's also like you're saying very empowering.

Like you had to build this solid relationship with yourself so that you knew that no matter what happened,

You would get yourself through it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's pretty powerful.

And I think like I do consider myself pretty independent and I almost feel,

I don't want to say I feel bad for people who don't have that,

But I consider it almost like a gift.

Do you know what I mean?

Because when you do rely on people for things.

Like if you're raised in a family where,

I don't know,

Things are just always handed down to you and you like never have to struggle a day in your life.

Like it's,

You get some sort of sense of entitlement and you just kind of expect things to be easy and this and that.

I'm not saying that's always the case,

But I feel like I'm definitely like on the opposite end.

And I'm sure you can understand.

I feel like we're kind of in the same boat with that.

Yeah.

And I think I love how you say that your perspective is that this was a gift.

Had you not had that happen,

Maybe you wouldn't be who you were today.

And you're a pretty phenomenal person.

At least I like to think so.

So I see that it's almost like thanks for treating me so terribly so that I could develop into who I am.

Yeah,

Exactly.

Yeah,

I think a lot of times if the people in our life would have been who we wanted them to be,

We wouldn't be who we are.

So,

Yeah.

Okay,

So this is just kind of a silly question,

But what is something weird that happens to you on a regular basis?

Ooh,

Something weird that happens to me.

Okay.

I'm just going to sound super hokey.

So I don't believe in like ghosts.

I don't believe in God.

I don't believe in,

I believe there's like energy,

But I don't believe,

You know,

You know me,

I don't like believe in stuff.

Sometimes,

I swear to God,

As an example,

Like,

You know those like fire sticks like to light candles?

Yes.

Or is it just like a lame example?

Like if I'm trying to light it and it's not working,

And then like I mentally,

I talk to it and I'm like,

You're gonna work this time.

Like it'll work.

Like I feel like sometimes I can manifest things with my mind that sounds so dorky,

Like a superpower.

I feel really silly saying it,

But sometimes I feel like I have the power to manifest like in a supernatural way.

Okay,

Because you can get things to work.

You're like,

You're gonna work and then it works and you're like,

Ta-da.

It's kind of one of those things where like people who are like,

Oh,

I don't believe in God.

I don't believe in God.

And then like they're in a situation where it's like dire.

They need help so bad.

They're like,

Oh my God,

Please God help me.

Do you know what I mean?

I don't know.

I don't know how to explain it.

Well,

I mean there's a ton of books out there on manifesting and energy and all that stuff.

So maybe you do have that superpower.

You've tapped into it.

And it's like uncanny the like number of times I've tapped into it.

I'm like,

How is this happening?

Like I should be paying myself,

Charging myself for making stuff happen.

I don't know.

But anyways.

Once you figure out how to do it,

Bottle it,

Do a class.

We'll all be coming to.

Okay.

Okay,

So I would like you to share with us where can people connect with you?

So I have a blog,

Veganbeautyreview.

Com and I'm on social media.

I'm probably most active on Instagram,

Which is at veganbeautyreview.

And yeah,

That's it.

Okay,

So Instagram is one of the easiest ways to get a hold of you is at vegan beauty review.

Yeah.

Your blog.

What about YouTube?

Are you on YouTube?

Oh yeah,

I am.

I am.

Oh my God.

I really am the worst at promoting myself.

I think it's just vegan beauty review also.

I think all my socials are vegan beauty review except Twitter.

It's like vegan underscore beauty because there weren't enough characters available.

Oh.

And sometimes I'm worried that people see that and they think I'm like,

I'm a vegan beauty.

Do you know what I mean?

But like vegan beauty review,

Like I'm always worried that they're not like,

Oh,

She's reviewing vegan beauty products.

But it's like I'm the vegan beauty and I'm reviewing stuff.

Do you know what I mean?

That's funny.

But that's not what I was going for.

I don't think anyone sees it that way.

And if they do,

Once they start following you,

They'll realize that's not what you're saying.

But you could be because you are beautiful inside and out.

So that would be super like conceited,

Right?

Beauty.

That's silly.

Oh my gosh.

That made me giggle with tears.

Okay.

Okay.

So do you have any parting words or requests for my audience?

I don't think I have any requests.

Parting words.

I don't I don't know.

In lieu of that,

I'm just going to say I'm really grateful that you're my friend,

Because not only are you like my homegirl and my soul sister,

But you're so knowledgeable in the world of like relationships and emotions and goals,

Setting goals,

Like everything.

Like I feel like I've won this lottery of friendships.

You know what I mean?

You're like my therapist.

Like,

I can't believe like how you're so there for me in so many ways.

And I feel like everyone that's listening to this,

Like,

Like what a resource.

Like you're an amazing human.

And I love watching you do your thing and help people feel better about themselves.

And like you really are out to make the world a more happier,

Beautiful place.

And I love it.

And I love you.

Thank you.

You're going to make me cry.

Well,

I feel the exact same about you.

And I think even because I know I know when we're talking,

You're like,

Oh,

I'm just doing vegan beauty.

So it's not really making a difference.

But it is like,

I think just who you are as a person makes a difference.

And you're so compassion based that you can't hide that even if you think you're doing it just with makeup.

It's it's the way you are and the way you present yourself and the way you teach and love and just be in this world.

Do you know what I mean?

So I think you give way more than you realize.

Thanks.

Got to do a computer.

I know.

Well,

Thank you so much,

Sunny,

For joining us today and sharing a bit of your insights and your stories.

We really appreciate it.

And I hope everybody got something from something she said from some of her stories.

Definitely practice some gratitude.

I definitely think a quotable moment was when she said gratitude is like a good night kiss to yourself.

Like tweet that.

So good.
