Tanya Nathan and Sarah Andrews

Two moms. Zero filter. Tanya and Sarah met on the Hillary Clinton campaign - before marriage, before kids - bonding over spicy margaritas and campaign chaos. A decade later, a few babies in and some political burnout behind them, they're still deep in the madness of modern politics… and now the messiness of motherhood too. They couldn't find a space that spoke to politically engaged moms overwhelmed by today's extremes - so they created one.

    JusT&T, Trump Crowd Fails & Political Extremes

    Sarah and Tanya are celebrating their first official studio episode (a major upgrade from hallways and basement corners!). They kick things off in the pop culture world with their final reactions to the Off Campus finale and Taylor Swift's wedding before diving into the headlines with the "Great American State Fair" - America's 250th celebration (spoiler alert: nobody showed). They also break down the latest New York and Colorado elections before transitioning into Ask a Millennial Mom: When does engaging online hurt more than help? And of course, they wrap things up with a little Hot or Not: Summer Edition.

    Mommymaxxing: The New Pressure Cooker of Modern Motherhood

    Sarah and Tanya kick off the episode with personal updates - Chuck E. Cheese throwbacks, summer travel prep, and the never-ending juggle of work events and babysitter math - before getting into the headlines: gas prices climbing back toward $5 a gallon and what that actually costs families running carpools and childcare, plus the fallout from Jill Biden's recent interview about Joe Biden's health. From there they dig into "mommy maxing," the pressure to optimize every corner of motherhood for public consumption, and open up in Ask a Millennial Mom about where AI genuinely helps them as parents (packing lists, meal ideas, 2am symptom checks) and where it scares them (kids and AI, misinformation, losing touch with their own instincts). They close with a Hot or Not round on after-school snacks, nighttime resets, and the "everything shower."   Meet the Women Behind the Mic   Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.

    The Courage to Deconstruct: A Conversation With Christian Cult Survivors

    Raising Kids & Raising Hell with State Representative Lindsay Gilchrist

    Sarah and Tanya welcome State Representative Lindsay Gilchrist for a candid conversation that moves from the chaos of parenting to the complexities of public service and policy-making. What begins with airplane snacks, sick kids, and TV obsessions quickly opens into a wider reflection on motherhood, identity, and the systems that shape family life today. Lindsey shares her journey through politics, foster care, and adoption, offering an unfiltered look at building a family through uncertainty, love, and resilience. Together, they explore what it means to legislate from lived experience, to parent through burnout and joy, and to keep showing up for both your kids and your community when the world feels like it's spinning a little too fast.   The Denver Post: https://www.denverpost.com/2026/06/10/colorado-aba-autism-license-law/    Meet the Women Behind the Mic   Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.
