We're too disconnected by social media and editorialized news cycles. We simply don't spend enough time connecting in real time. The press of flesh that is a handshake. A shared game of washers or dominoes. The joy of watching our children play together. This episode is about my latest project - Little Town. Put simply, "You Belong Here."

Christy, Stacy and Elle take their discussion of being entrepreneurs to the heart of it. Basically, it can be frustrating, stressful and scary at the same time. Where do you draw the line and make yourself take time for you!? What happens when something goes completely wrong? It's all on the one and only YOU. So what is work life balance when you're slave driving yourself? Want to read about it? Elle wrote it down for y'all. Read her blog. And weigh in with your own stories and struggle. We want to hear from you!

We continue our conversation with Elle Roy about the realities of striking out on one's own as an entrepreneur. Women supporting women, even in conversation, is more important that it's ever been, so give it listen and share with the women you're rooting for!

Founder of Coastal Creative Consulting, Elle Roy, joins Christy and Stacy for some serious girl talk around making our own way when the job market shuts us down.

Voucher Codes are pitched as "school choice," but they don't give tax payers a choice in how property taxes will be used to educate all children. In the simplest form, voucher codes take transparency out of education and act as a tax subsidy for the wealthy since those vouchers are paid for with tax dollars designated to public schools. Join Christy Claxton and Stacy Lieder as they discuss voucher codes, how they're damaging to equitable education and what kinds of tools exist to battle that inequity.

To tariff or not to tariff. How does an average person prepare for the inevitable increase in food costs? And why is the Army pulling out of programming for girls' schools STEM programs and engineering programs for under represented people? Christy and Stacy talk about the economic crisis in store for working class people, as well as the loss of military involvement in promoting STEM to minority students. We'll also offers some ways to save money on food while supporting your local economy. And just because the Trump Administration is fleecing us with tariffs and the shutdown of economic opportunities in the STEM fields, that's no need to give up. We'll recommend some ways we can keep those kids learning.

This year, women's history month is celebrating women educating and inspiring others. We call that nurture. But what about the warriors? The bra burners and protesters? Join Christy and Stacy as they compare, contrast and opine on nurturer v warrior.

A couple of older white women have some things to say about the White House's attempt to reduce Black History Month to a single day in February. American History doesn't exist without Black History. We also take a swing at the SAVE act and it's potential dangers for many of us.

The craziness is only beginning! Christy and Stacy add their commentary and color to the the good ol' USA's latest invention... DOGE. Anxiety levels are on the rise!

What in the world is happening to our world as we know it here in the USA?? We can't keep up, but we DO have things to say about the massive shift in the government and corporate landscape. The gloves are off, y'all.
