Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Hope you enjoyed yesterday's episode. We kind of took a breather and a break from the

news talked to a mental health professional who helped us understand where anxiety comes

from how to handle our anxiety. And then she also gave tips to parents that are dealing

with teenagers that are dealing with anxiety and depression. And she just gave us a whole

lot of really practical, helpful tools. So if you are looking for refreshing, practical

episode, a break from everything that's going on in the world, if you have been struggling

with anxiety, I know a lot of you have, but I really recommend yesterday's episode.

I personally found it extremely, extremely helpful, especially just with feelings sometimes

like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Today we are going to talk about something

that's going on in the world. We're going to talk about Afghanistan. We're going to

get an update on everything that's going on with that. What the Biden administration

has done and what they have said this week, I'm going to talk to Rebecca Heinrichs. She

is an expert on all of this. We've had her on before to talk about China and just geopolitics

in general. She has been in this sphere for a very long time. Always appreciate getting

her perspective. She's also, she's a Christian. She's a mom of five. And so not only does she

have a very smart and expert take on everything, but she also has a very compassionate and human

perspective that she puts all puts into all of her foreign policy analyses. And so I'm

really excited for you to listen to this conversation without further ado. Here is Rebecca

Heinrichs. Rebecca, thank you so much for joining us again. Last week we talked to Morgan

or Hitt or Tegas and she kind of gave us a rundown on the context just going all the

way back to why we're here and why we are seeing everything that we're seeing right now.
