Lady Wave

Listening to the news can often leave you disillusioned with the state of the world when in reality women are kicking ass and taking names all across the globe! In this episode, we decided to focus on all the GOOD news happening out there for women. From the Virginia vote to ratify the ERA, to a record number of women serving in congress, we are a force to be reckoned with. We also Fave Wave it up with a shout out to one of our favorite women in history podcasts as well as an organization helping lift up women! If you need a boost or just a dose of optimism, this is the episode for you! #ladywave

Do you want to make more money? Sure we all do... and for women this desire is a tale much older than Sally Struthers! Today we examine the gender pay gap, how it's measured, what the stats are revealing about the choices we make as women, and how those choices might be holding us back. The bottom line is that we need forward momentum to close the gender pay gap once and for all and it begins with negotiating your worth! So, to be the bad ass that you are and go after the money you deserve, we have some tips to arm you with for your next interview. We also have a little side chat about a candle that has a questionable smell but its raking in a ton of cash for its creator. Plus our fave wave is doing its part to lessen the burden of the pink tax for Californians. It's about time! #ladywave

Happy New Year from Lady Wave! Today is all about getting Fem in 2020.  We chat about everything from the most common New Year's resolutions, how we tend to approach them, and tips for giving your resolutions a feminist upgrade! We even tackle that pesky Peloton controversy...or was it? Plus, in the spirit of celebrating ladies on the daily we dish on some holidays for women that you might not know to celebrate. Then, we wrap this all up in a super hot bow with our Fave Wave that shows women are forging their way into equal representation in one of the most important professions. 2020...it's our year! #ladywave

Tis the Season for feminism! That's right, you can have your holidays and your feminism too! Christmas time has a way of making us feel like we are in a time warp...bending our ways back to those of the 1950's where women were expected to arrange all things festive while men enjoy utter chill. So today we talk about our personal views of the holidays and how we like to enjoy them, our favorite Christmas music and movies that might have sexist undertones or reinforce gender stereotypes, as well as fun ways to incorporate feminism into this holiday season. Searching for feminist presents? We've got that list for Santa! Plus, we gift you a little history lesson on some festive holiday traditions that have surprising feminist origin stories. And our fave wave is all about supporting the girls, and by girls we mean boobs and women's' health. Happy Holidays #ladywave!

Today we tackle the taboo topic of menstruation. That's right! We are talking about periods and all their bloody glory. Society has a long standing history of attaching shame to so many facets of a woman's life, so let's go ahead and take your monthly business off the table or spreadsheet (We are talking to you Missouri!) To do just that, we enter the realm of overshare by opening up about our personal struggles with our cycles, our favorite lady products, and our go-to euphemisms for being on the rag. We also delve into a brief history of feminine hygiene products, the ridiculousness of the pink and luxury taxes affecting all women, the global issue of period poverty, and how you can help! Plus, our Fave Wave sticks it to a man who clearly knows nothing about the needs of teenage girls in school. Periods... they're all natural baby, so let's chat it out! What's your period story? #ladywave

Is activism on your mind, but you don't know where to start? Have you been thinking about giving back to your community, but feel thwarted because you are low on free time? Well, welcome to Teresa's favorite subject...ever! Today we discuss every which way you can get involved without a ton of effort or time! Teresa's hot tips will show you the way to becoming a five minute activist no matter your passion. Plus, our Fave Wave is a glowing example of how just a little bit a creativity can turn up the buzz on causes you care about. In this case, one small symbolic gesture put a big spot light on equal pay for women. #ladywave

Have you ever spent time with your mother or grandmother and really listened to what their experiences were like as young women? If you haven't, we highly recommend giving it a whirl because there is a lot to unearth and you might even have some fun! In this episode, we dial up Kate's mom to hear her perspective on life as a young girl growing up in the south before and after the great wave of change for women in the 1970s...and she says the F word more than once! We also spice things up with our Heat Wave who reminds us that we can still be kind to those who we don't agree with. Plus, we have two times the fun with our Fave Wave centered around encouraging young girls to broaden their horizons and seek out futures in male dominated career paths. #ladywave

When your favorite actor, musician, or artist does something particularly atrocious, can you  put that aside and still enjoy their art? Today we put several celebrities ripe with naughty behavior on our chopping block as we discuss their art versus their antics. It turns out there are far too many assholes out there to cover them all, but it's safe to say some of your favorites get pulled into our drag session co-hosted by our first special guest and favorite male Lady Waver.  We also shine a light on a lady who is so baller that a statue is being created in her honor and our fave wave this week, who is already a champion for women's issues, ups the ante by pledging to raise $1 million dollars for female candidates running for office in 2020!

Are you a woman that supports other women? In this episode, we tap into this tricky subject by discussing how women treat each other on the daily in their friendships and at work. We also shell out some tips for being an active supporter of women in the workforce. Plus, we stumble into a little debate about what Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Hillary Clinton might have in common and expose some women who are helping Harvey Weinstein...it's true there are some!  We also have an update on #freethenipple that makes us want to free our nipples! And lastly, would you walk away from a job if you found out your male counterpart was being paid more? Check out our Fave Wave who was brave enough to do just that!  #ladywave

We thought our bedroom closets were full of bullshit we didn't need, but it turns out that our junk is nothing compared to what lurks in the crusty ole law books across the United States. Today we explore archaic AF state laws that still exist and they range from laughable and outdated to offensive and discriminatory, which goes to show it's time to Marie Kondo our law closet!  We also have a badass fave wave this week fighting to make women's voices more powerful when it comes to legislating women's issues! #ladywave
