This is 2025, 2026.

And that for me became sort of the call.

It suddenly felt like this story was very present and not just our little story from back in the day.

I have been interviewing survivors or victims, but people have different names for how they, some people say I'm a victim, I'm not surviving.

Other people say survivor.

for most of my career at this point.

I would say when I go into a big interview like this, I open my heart up more than with anything.

I feel I'm actually the most present I am in any part of my life, like I am most myself when I am in those interviews.

I tend to meditate before I go in.

I just feel like I open my heart all the way up and I am completely locked in.

This is best practice.

I feel like there's probably some people in the room being like, she interviewed me once and it was a mess.

I need to be careful here.

But best practice is I feel like I do go in and it's like deep inhale, I lock in.

And when the interview is done, I need to sleep.

I am exhausted.

These are like interviews that last hours.

And it feels like my life's purpose.

It feels really, really special.

And so I also, like, I will often match my breath to theirs.
