Momarchy

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. Grab your iced coffee, spicy margarita, or emotional support Stanley - this episode has a little bit of everything.   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.

    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

    Sarah and Tanya kick off the episode with a lighthearted conversation about Fourth of July traditions, parenting moments, and a few of the latest headlines before welcoming Margaret Bronson and Brittany Ericson of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret and Brittany share their powerful stories of leaving high-control fundamentalist religious communities (aka cults) and discuss the challenges of rebuilding their lives after religious trauma. They also explain how Deconstruction Doulas supports survivors navigating life beyond abuse while offering insight into recognizing the signs of coercive religious environments. It's an eye-opening conversation about resilience, healing, and finding the courage to reclaim your own path.

    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.

    Making Change in Our Own Backyards with Executive Director of States Win Sarah Curmi

    Sarah and Tanya swap stories from the front lines of parenthood - from birthday celebrations and parenting mishaps to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up fast. They also dive into the headlines, unpacking everything from rising costs to global health concerns. Then, they sit down with Sarah Curmi, Executive Director of States Win, for a conversation about why state legislatures are at the center of some of the biggest fights over abortion rights, child care, education, and democracy. It's an honest, hopeful discussion about grassroots organizing, the power of down-ballot races, and how busy parents can make a meaningful impact in their own communities.   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.

    Hot Mom Summer and Trump's Slush Fund

    A refresh, a reality check, and a whole lot of mom mayhem. This season premiere kicks off with a mix of big-picture conversation and everyday parenting moments. From unpacking the controversial "anti-weaponization fund" and what it could mean for families, to reflecting on summer planning, childhood nostalgia, and how parenting has changed across generations. Of course, it wouldn't be Momarchy without plenty of relatable chaos in between - tantrums, sunglasses getting destroyed, snack hacks, and the ongoing debate of gentle parenting vs. "figure it out" parenting.    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.
