Welcome to Feathers in My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.

Hey, everyone. I actually have two things that I had to add to the beginning of this episode. The first one and the most important one is I'm adding a major trigger warning to this episode.

This episode deals heavily with suicide.

There is a lot of talk of suicide in this episode, especially when it comes to McKenzie and

McKenzie segments.

And if that is triggering to you, I ask that you please just maybe skip this whole episode.

There's a lot of talk in it.

And if you need help to please, please, please, please reach out.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number if you're in the United States is 1-800-273-8255.

If you need help, please, please, please, please reach out and just please be aware of the triggering

nature of this episode. Hey, everyone, I spent the first literal 20 minutes of

this episode just talking about me in my personal life. So if you want to skip ahead, I suggest you do

and you go to, I believe it's like 21 minutes and that's where I start talking about teen mom.

Also, I got a new mic stand and I I'm realizing I'm on editing that you can hear

wrestling in the background. So you won't hear me moving my mic around, but you will hear my

bed sheets wrestling. Please bear with me. I will figure this out one day. Hello. Hi. Hi, everyone.

It's me. It's me, your old friend, Liz, your old friend Liz Bentley.

I apologize for last week. Here's what happened. Okay. Everybody, I want to set the scene for you.

I ordered last week a mic stand.

I mean, I've had a mic stand.

It just was like a thousand pounds and you could hear it every time I moved it.

I know.
