Dr. Tracy Doglish, welcome to seeing other people.

Thank you for having me here, Lana.

family relationships? Right? We do, it might not be the most important thing to us,

but it's still important to us. And so continuously, and releasing the book title, a lot of people

had said, why didn't you call it you, your husband, and your mother? And it's a fair question. We know
