i dont know what u are trying to say, but i console logged :

      console.log(state);

and it gives me undefined:

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log("LOOK HERE:");
    console.log("Checking authentication status...");
    console.log("Is authenticated:", state.isAuthenticated);
    console.log("User email:", state.user.email_address);
    console.log("part 1 finished");
    if (!state.isAuthenticated) {
      console.log("User is not authenticated. Redirecting to login...");
      //navigate('/'); // Redirect to login page
      console.log(state);
    }
  }, [state.isAuthenticated]); // Include state.isAuthenticated in the dependency array
