A check-in to say thank you for your patience today while we work through some hard stuff at home. But also I wanted to talk about how I am able to read, listen to, and write about some of the darkest parts of the Jeffrey Epstein story, and still fall asleep at night.

Thank you K K, Annie Scherer, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.
