Mandy, thank you so much for coming on the show and sharing this update. Thanks for having me. If you want to read Mandy's essay in full, the link to it is in our show notes. And before we go, I did promise you at the top of the episode that we'd play more of your voice messages. Stay tuned for those after the credits. Like I said, we loved hearing from all of you.
