But don't you see, he played into the most authentic part of myself. And it was only in me being able to go back and in time and recognize that reconnection with that's okay. I am a leader. I know that about myself. And now I can really be the leader that the world, that I need to go out and be for others.

And so that's where there's this joy, compassion, gratitude, all the feelings that I keep going back to that I have now in that there is purpose in this. I don't know why it happened. I wish it hadn't happened. There are so many people who I know have probably suffered far worse than I have. And there are people that have suffered things that I don't think that they will think matter.

And I want to say it does. Not what happened to me, but there are little things. And that's where, I mean, hundreds of people in my life before the book has even come out have come to me to say, you know,

I never really acknowledged X thing happening in any capacity in their life and saying, I really reframed that and I thought about it and now I processed it and I either went to the person or I decided I didn't need to go to the person, but I dealt with it.

Well, let me just also have a gratitude moment for my parents. Because you're right, my life could have turned out very differently.

And I think it's so important as parents, for every parent watching this and listening to this, that my parents did everything right. Everything right. They were incredible humans.

The telling of this to them, which was part of the story, in some ways, again, the secret... of all of this from the people that are closest to you is the hardest part of the story, right? The memories of everything that happened to me are one thing. I am so proud of myself for the fact that I just survived it and lived it. So you say how did it impact me?

And then I looked out and I kept driving. And I thought, you know, I'm visiting. I'm doing all the things in my life.
