MOMlitics with Rebecca Sheehan

In this episode, Rebecca ventures into a political 'no man's land' in an effort to stop America's dysfunctional amnesia when it comes to mass shootings. From the perspective of a parent at a school just like Covenant, she delves into what makes some firearms deadlier than others, and what else needs to change - on both sides - to cure this uniquely American problem. These constructive concepts aren't even close to controversial enough to go viral - and that's exactly the problem. 

The popularity of homeschooling has skyrocketed since the pandemic. Will it last?

SimplyCooking founder Lora Reardon explains how a set pantry of ingredients can revolutionize our relationship with meal prep: wasting less time shopping and stressing, wasting less food and money, and spending more time actually enjoying the cooking process. She also discusses the importance of dining as a family, and how to set kids up for a lifetime of healthy eating habits.

PublicSq. Co-Founder and Vice President Christina Werner recently joined the MOMlitics podcast.
