And what it is is it's sort of, I believe that I should have a certain kind of status

in the eyes, not just in my community.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

We are thrilled to be back here with you after Thanksgiving break and also feeling very

grateful for the incredible feedback we got on our wellness episodes.

Thank you to all of you who listened and wrote in and shared your stories.

It was cathartic for us to record those episodes and I thank you for all of you as well.

So thanks for sharing your feedback on that series.

And if you haven't checked it out yet, please head on back in our podcast feed and check

out part one and part two of our wellness series.

We are here today to talk about Omicron, along with the rest of the world.

We're going to share our interview with David French, one of our favorite writers at the

And then we're going to wrap up the show with our thoughts on TikTok.
