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

Hey guys, I spend the first 20 minutes of this talking about the events that happened this week in Washington, D.C.

If you are not interested in hearing politics or my thoughts on politics,

please feel forward to skip to 20 minutes, and that's where I start the teen mom talk. Okay, thanks.

Hey, everyone. How are we? What a week, huh? It's been, it's been a week, is how you would say it.

I hope everybody is doing okay. It's been a week is how you would say it um i hope everybody is doing okay it's been shitty

it was shitty enough for me at least having to go back to work after having an extensive amount of

time off that's always so hard and then on wednesday i was like you know what it was like kind of slow at works I was like

oh I'll put on a headphone and listen to the the certifying hearing what's the electoral

live updates via Twitter essentially. I'm like, oh shit. Like that that looks bad. And then suddenly we're

looking at the barricade coming down and I'm like,

what is happening? It was really surreal to watch it in real time. I've been feeling kind of like,

I don't know if this is dramatic. I don't think it's

comparable as far as like significance to our country. Well, who knows? Who knows what, you know,

what it will look like for the next 20 years. But for me, it felt very similar to 9-11 where I remember,

like it's different, right? Like, it's obviously different, but I remember that feeling on 9-11 of, like, it being very surreal and, like,

watching in real time. I didn't watch the tower, the plane's hit or anything because I was in

school. But I remember, like, watching on TV, like, over and over and over again that
