Now I'm not okay with it.

But a lot of times there's a sense of, I never was fully okay with it.

That's right.

But this buffer was kind of keeping me there.

That's it.

You know, it's about...

just a little bit past the one-year anniversary of the LA fires.

Yeah.

A lot of us, you know, we're recording this in Los Angeles.

You know, your entire neighborhood burned down.

Yeah.

I didn't live in the Palisades, but I lived right next to it.

So many of my friends lost their homes.

Very tragic, tragic time.

You know, this book is really about how this new stage of life and the things that come with it, you know,

put you in a position to reflect a little bit differently than you were before.

You're almost forced to because of these rewiring that's happening inside of the body and the brain.

And it's also about the mythology about why that's important, what you're being called into as a woman who's going through these different stages of life.

But coming back to the LA Fires and pulling on some of that thread because I'm interested and I'm sure my audience is interested too.

What was your snapshot of where you were sort of pre-fires and then post-fires, right?
