Our Girl Kamala, Dems Taking Massive Action, and Game ON Douchelords. It’s been another fast and furious week with crap news. Pipe bombs (even to Robert DeNiro - come on man!), the US graciously agreeing not to shoot at the migrant caravan, transgender rights at risk, and worrying data about absentee ballots in California. Thankfully there is a beacon of hope in the midst of it all with Kamala Harris getting a rockstar welcome in Iowa and excellent projections in the polls for many key races across the country (go get it Stacey Abrams!!!) LOTS for us to be excited about but also LOTS of work still to be done. Tune in, get fired up and let Nicole and Coni inspire you to up your activism game as we head into the home stretch of the mid terms. And to put down the Stoli :)

What's it like to hit the campaign trail for yourself when you've never done it before? Tune into today's episode to find out! We get a peak behind the curtain with Laura Legacki. A registered nurse by profession, Laura has dedicated years of service toward youth in education. She's currently serving as Vice President and school board liaison for her PTO and for the past 7 years she’s been involved with Yolo County CASA as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in the foster care system, specializing in children with specific educational needs. It is this community experience, dedication, and passion that drove her to further serve teachers and students by running for school board...even if it means her laundry game is not always on point ;) Listen in to get inspired! Who knows? Maybe YOUR name will be next on the ballot.

What do you do when you have the most incredible idea for a company that supports all women, are fired up beyond belief about it and don't have a solid clue about how you're going to make it happen? Get started and ask for help of course! Today's guest, Davida Hall, founder and creator of The Lipstick Lobby did just that and she's here to share how she brought a group of ridiculously talented women together to create a powerful social justice brand that also makes some of the boldest, badass lipstick shades in the industry. We discuss; TLLs mission to empower women to fight for the issues most critical to our lives with every lip touch up, the power of the group coming together over a cause, why collecting "no thanks" is the key to success and why it's OK to sometimes break the rules when they don't serve your higher purpose

It’s been a wild ride boys and girls! We survived the 1st week of Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, Kanye had a Not Sure What To Even Call It in the oval office and more celebrities are speaking up loud and proud on political issues. In the middle of all this it would be easy to miss the fact that 1500 immigrant children were moved in the middle of the night into tents because they can’t legally stay in shelters. What the actual fuck ‘Merica?! We didn’t miss it though and we’re offering suggestions on how you can make a difference.
