Lady Wave Lady Wave

Doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, or Whosie Whatsit....This one is for you! This week on Lady Wave we tackle the often-controversial topic of why representation matters for women no matter your party lines. Women make up nearly 51% of the population and and yet we hold an abysmally low number of positions in our government. We have to change this! But how? Well, women supporting women running for office is a good start and we are gonna chat all about it. We also deliver you a Heat Wave that doubles down on the importance of representation in power positions...think free period products for all brought to you by none other than a badass female leader! Now if that doesn't get you going, we don't know what will. #ladywave

So maybe 2020 wasn't our year and perhaps 2021 won't be either, BUT that won't stop us from promoting self care. Now more than ever we need to ditch the notion that self care is a luxury and make it a priority.  On this episode we cover the different categories of self care and what we are personally doing to meet those needs. Plus our heat wave is an angel on earth sharing her wealth to help make medical strides so we can kick this pandemic in the ass. And we also give another nod to our favest of fave waves, a non profit that has not only been helping women's bodies but also their minds and spirit. We are all about spreading the love and support #ladywave!

While 2020 may have had a bleak streak, there is finally a bright spot that leads us to believe America's best days are still ahead. We could not be more excited that we finally have the first female Vice President of the United States. Sure it's long overdue and the fact that it has been 100 years since women gained the right to vote is not lost on us. But, progress is progress and we are going to celebrate this win for Kamala Harris and women everywhere.  "While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last."  That's right! The glass ceiling has cracked wide open and we are ready! #ladywave

Traveling during COVID, first encounters with Trump parades, dealing with friends and family with different political views, Facebook tirades and hovering over the delete button...That's just the intro! This week's Lady Wave is all over the map.  We question whether or not we can support women in power positions when we don’t align with their core beliefs. Specifically, we question all things Amy Coney Barrett. Between her politics and her faith, are we regressing hard earned freedoms to the days of yesteryear if she takes a seat as a Supreme Court Justice? There is a lot to unpack, but we are here for it. #Ladywave 

Today we dedicate our entire episode to the truly exceptional RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We discuss the impact the loss of our hero is having on us, but rather than wallowing in misery, we celebrate the Notorious RBG by taking a walk through her trailblazing career history and discuss the very strategic actions she took to literally change the way the world works for American women. She did all the heavy lifting...now it's our turn. Rest in power, RBG! You were the ultimate #ladywave!
And a special shout out to Penny Stone and the Wildfire Women's Choir of Edinburgh, who gathered in 2019 to sing one of RBG's most beloved quotes. You can check out their vocals at the end of the podcast and find the original video on youtube by searching for "Penny Stone when there are nine."

Quarantine never ending...well for some people! Today we are yet again podcasting via technology and we chat about how the quarantine blues are affecting our psyche and how safely expanding your social pod is oh so good for the soul. Plus, you'll find out what happens if you try to hug Teresa as well as get the deets on Kate's first attempt at acupuncture. We also toss in a little chat on Kate's guilty pleasure teen flick, "The Kissing Booth," parts 1 and 2, and transparent bathrooms that are popping up in parks in Tokyo. Then we dive into a laundry list of heavy hitting matters like women having the power to determine elections yet failing to vote in their best interests, how black women are left out of the Black Lives Matter movement and conversation, Ruth Bader Ginsberg's health concerns, and Supreme Court rulings on abortion and contraceptives that are flying under the radar of the main stream media. That's right! Huge decisions about women's health care are being made and you don't really hear anyone talk about it, so we are here to scream about it from our digital roof tops! Finally, we round out our convo on a high note with our Fave Wave. We give a little nod to the world leaders who are actually doing a kick ass job during the pandemic. Spoiler alert...they are all women. Just another reason to #ladywave!
