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.

    Postpartum, Parasitic Diarrhea & Poor Outfit Choices

    This week, Tanya and Sarah are going deep on the things nobody really prepares you for - from the wild reality of postpartum life to the serious conversations that deserve more attention. They talk candidly about postpartum psychosis, what it can look like, and the importance of actually checking in on new moms, especially during those hazy early weeks. They also unpack the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and the difficult questions it raises around postpartum mental health. Then, they get into a conversation about parasitic diarrhea and what cuts to public health agencies could mean for families. Finally, they lighten things up with a round of Hot or Not: What Not to Wear Edition. It's a conversation that's equal parts honest, eye-opening, and unfiltered - and, as always, ends with a little fun.   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. Currently, a Principal at a nationally-based political consulting firm, living in Denver with her toddler daughter, husband, and their rescue pets.

    Unfiltered: The News, The Noise & The Nonsense

    Sarah and Tanya dive into the latest headlines surrounding Michelle Obama, from her candid reflections on marriage and life beyond the White House to the opening of the Obama Presidential Library. Then, they switch things up with a special edition of Pardon My Reaction, surprising each other with viral clips and sharing their unfiltered, real-time responses. They also take on the internet's latest parenting trend, the "butter mom," exploring whether it's a refreshing shift away from tradwife culture or just another impossible aesthetic to keep up with. Finally, in Ask a Millennial Mom, they cut through the curated social media version of self-care to have an honest conversation about what taking care of yourself actually looks like when you're balancing motherhood, work, and real life.   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.

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.
