And I think for everybody who has a loved one going through Alzheimer's, it's a really challenging disease. It's incredibly expensive. It's spiritually draining. It's emotionally draining. It's exhausting. And it has yet to become kind of a national priority, which... I've tried and many other people have tried to make it so.

And the numbers are astounding, the amount of people that are getting it. And we know so much more about it today than we did. And women, it's more prevalent than... It's way more prevalent with women. And yet we have no research into women's brains or women's bodies or women's health journeys.

And I'm trying to change that with my women's Alzheimer's movement is to really try to understand particularly what's happening in women's minds, brains at midlife.

Yes, I find myself many days being at peace, right? And it's a total inside job. So some days I'm kinder to myself than others. Some days I feel better about myself. I don't feel like totally healed or I got to the mountaintop.

No, on a given day I can, but then like maybe two days later I hear my mother's voice like, move it along, let's go, what are you doing? I don't want to hear a yip-yip. I don't want to hear you. And so I think it's a balance. It's a balance of understanding what I want in my life, where I am in my life. I make time in my life now for going and having fun, going and looking at the leaves.
