Lady Business Podcast

Tamara Meyer talks with us about Vibrant Body Company. Vibrant provides toxin and wire free clean women’s intimate apparel.

We remain open for business, and are using this time to learn from how people are responding to the health issues in the pandemic. I feel we have a responsibility to educate about this hidden problem and the pandemic has made people more interested in protecting their health and safety. We can help in that quest.

In the season finale, we talk to Davine Ker, a standup comic, mom, double-immigrant and polyglot! We talk about how motherhood prepares you for standup - whether it's getting used to nobody listening to you, or hearing people botch jokes all day long and still insist you listen! The season ends on a bright note as we chat about the (small) silver linings of 2020 including fewer speeding tickets and the Masked Smize(TM)! You can find Davine @DavineDC on all platforms.

Thank you for sticking around and listening to Mom Jokes! We love you! We see you!

We talk to Susan Lieu, a playwright, performer, standup comic, enterpreneur, chocolatier and mother. We talk about things like who needs time outs the most (hint: it's not the kids.) And innovations that make parenting easier, like designated screaming rooms and snot gloves. And the fact that we are proably not doing the best we could as parents. And that's ok.

It was a new studio that brought along big clients such as; Keebler and Quaker Oats, but there were only 5 of us! She learned a lot and moved on to a bigger studio. RMC was her second marketing position. That is where she got the film bug because they did commercial work. There she handled a few accounts and was also the license manager for Gumby! She went out on her own finally and started her first company Pages by Paige to do commercial writing and to start writing her own literary work. Her big client 'Coffee Beanery' allowed her to do this. She handled all of their graphic arts needs and still does.

We discuss cultural differences in parenting, but also some universal truths, like the undeniable the power of The Look(TM). And the fact that this is all one big long form improv, so we may as well have fun. You can find Karinda @KarindaDobbins on all platforms.

On this episode we chat to Chele Isaac. Chele is an Immersive Installation Artist and exhibit video based installations in project spaces and art museums. Her studio is located in a former church building in downtown Madison. She is active in the arts landscape in Madison and opens her space to other artists– musicians, dancers, film screenings, poetry readings, etc– for rehearsal and exhibition. It’s called the Maiahaus Project Space in tribute to her first dog. She is an invested volunteer for the Arts+Literature Lab (ALL) so some of the programming is connected to them. ALL is an amazing entrepreneurial (women run!) project that you should look at! She is also in the beginning stages of establishing a sustainable farm model in the driftless area.

"As an artist/farmer most of my existence is about being alone. But now that I’m being ordered to stay put all I can think about is hosting dinner parties. In terms of being an artist in the age of the pandemic...every venue -museums, galleries, film festivals- is shut down. They are trying to make do with virtual events (the Ann Arbor Film Festival live streamed my work, for instance), but it’s not the same— an integral part of art is the direct contact. I worry about art institutions and especially those working at the community level. What will our cultural fabric look like after this? The other weird thing (on the farm side) is that all of a sudden being self sufficient and in charge of ones food supply is something people are thinking about instead of taking for granted."
