Feels like home

When I listen to these two women speak, be it about Pantsuit Politics or the Nuances Life, I find myself learning each and every week something new. Intelligent, funny and surprising, this new venture is everything I hoped it would be and more for Beth & Sarah. ❤️

I learn something new about myself every episode

What a great addition to the conversations on Pantsuit Politics! I love Pantsuit Politics and have always particularly loved the end of episodes where Sarah and Beth each talk about something that is unrelated to their political discussion. This feels like an extension of therapy for me. Working through these big (or little) life questions that we have. They talk about things with such care and respect and I really appreciate that. I want other people to listen to the content of the actually conversations but also for the way that they respect each other when they don't totally agree.

Great and thoughtful conversation

I love Sarah and Beth's new podcast. The conversation is wonderful and the topics are so relatable to my life. I just listened to 2 episodes last week and have talked about both of them with multiple people already. Great work!
