I just announced my first children's book, You Matter, Luma.

It's a story about a little bunny who feels too small to matter until she discovers her light changes everything.

It's a story about belonging, empathy, and self-worth, the same themes we explore in today's episode.

And when you pre-order, you're helping bring this message of mattering to families everywhere.

You can pre-order now at Barnes & Noble or visit umatterluma.com to learn more.

Now, a quick word from our sponsors.

Thank you for supporting those who support the show.

It truly helps us keep bringing you conversations that matter.

I still remember the moment I realized something was off.

I was drinking more water, trying to be healthier, but I kept feeling off.

Low energy, brain fog, strange skin flare-ups.

First, I blamed stress until I dug deeper.

Turns out three in four U.S.

homes have tap water contaminated with things we'd never knowingly drink.

Lead, forever chemicals, microplastics, even pesticide runoff.

And my filters, they barely made a dent.

That's when I found AquaTrue, a powerful countertop purifier with a four-stage reverse osmosis system that removes 84 contaminants.

No plumbing, no guesswork, just water I can trust.

It's been featured in Good Housekeeping, Popular Science, and Business Insider, and 98% of users say their water is cleaner and healthier.
