And I wrote down three things.

I said, whatever I do post-military has to meet all three of these things.

And that is, I'm only going to do the things that I love to do.

I'm only going to do things that I'm good at.

And I'm only going to do things that make a difference.

Now, not everybody's in that position.

Right.

Like but but, you know, I'm really thankful and blessed that I was able to say those things.

And so in that I knew that I needed to, you know, in my payback tour, get back to being the wife and the mom that I want to be.

And so I'm.

I'm there primarily.

I'm doing some work with Columbia Southern University as a strategic advisor to them and very excited about the work that they're doing to help change lives through education.

I'm working with some corporate industry partners and helping them understand the military and veteran community and how they can plug in and make practical differences.

And so I'm really excited about the work that I do there.

And then I do a lot of nonprofit work because, again, I'm pretty passionate about, as you can tell, like our the strength of our military and what they bring to broader America.

So also an ambassador for hiring our heroes, ambassador to face the fight.

And and then I go around speaking when I can to larger audiences to to share the work that we're doing.

I'd love to be on stage.

We get to have some sweet tea.

Is there any other type of tea?
