I love speaking. And then obviously I love my agency. I want to keep my agency on, but I'm really focused on supporting and raising awareness, being sort of an advocate for rare diseases and chronic illnesses, because rare diseases, when you have a rare disease or chronic disease, it's very lonely, super lonely. And so I want people to know that they don't have to be alone.
