Gail King was a production assistant at the time.
I was the six o'clock co-anchor.

Hi. I'm so glad you all are here.
And I know life is busy.
So I thank you all for spending your time with us on the Oprah podcast, where Every week,
we're diving into topics that we hear are top of mind for so many of you watching and listening.

Don't care where you are.
You're not safe from the stress.
of thinking you may be let go.
You may be laid off or experience a reduction in force, rifts, as your company may call them,
