So you will get two parts. The first six minutes, I will warn you: I get political. This is not a political podcast. But today, as a woman in America, I could not leave this unsaid. We have big problems to solve in our nation and the only way we can do this is together. Today I have to take a stance and give voice to my sadness, my anger and my disgust for what happened in Washington DC yesterday - for what has happened in our nation in the past four years. The second part of this episode, I move into a solo episode of  my own reflection on 2020, an
