Episode notes

I love that you have ended the show on that note because I do just think it's like the most beautiful trajectory of this story. hearing what you went through and not just what happened on that day that your mother passed away but everything from childhood to now. The fact that you're saying to us just do that little bit extra for people because people are good and think about others is just so beautiful. "It's just really really inspiring to me to hear that you can still have that that mind frame and mindset," she says. 'You've done so much good stuff for the world'
