I assume it must be very vulnerable writing a memoir.

And I guess what made you want to write this?

What was your process?

And how were you able to go back and kind of open up about some vulnerable moments in your life?

That's so beautiful.

And I really love your title because, I mean, in my adult life, acceptance has been the thing that, you know, I've struggled with the most when it comes to things that, you know, difficult moments in my life.

It's the thing that I've been the most grateful at getting a little bit better at.

And I love how you have acceptance and hope in the title because sometimes I have found that part of acceptance is letting go of hope in certain situations.

But I'm curious for you.

How do you balance acceptance and hope in your life?

Because sometimes those can be very kind of polar opposite thought exercises.

Yes.

Yeah.

Wow.

That's really beautiful.

I wonder what Amanda's memoir will be about.

You know?

Was there any other kind of specific like revelation that you had while writing it that you kind of had an aha moment that stuck with you since writing that?

Yeah.

This is very fascinating, Jamie.
