Happy Independence Day!

It’s been a beautiful 30 days together as we reflected on the idea of citizenship and what it means to each of us. Today, to close out this series, Sarah and Beth are together for a conversation about citizenship as love.

We’re making this final meditation available to all our subscribers, free or paid. The full series will continue to be available to paid subscribers to go back and enjoy again and again at their leisure.

If you’re interested in starting this series over from the beginning, you can find all 30 days of meditations on this page. You can also add the meditations directly to your podcast player as an independent feed from our other work with the link below.

We hope this series has been encouraging, inspiring, and helpful to you this summer. Thank you for your support of our work and our shared pursuit of reimaginging citizenship.

Thank you to Sharon McMahon for joining us for a chat about citizenship. You can see our full conversation here.

Beth and Bethaney discuss her reflection on citizenship and the concept of generous curiosity.

We’re launching our 30 days of Reimagining Citizenship in one short week! We are so excited to take this journey with people just like you - exhausted, overwhelmed, but not ready to give up on this country or our place within it.

So, for today only, you can hear a sample of our first meditation in the series. This preview will disappear tomorrow, but you’ll be able to get the full text and audio of this and all 30 days of the series starting June 5 when you join our premium community.

In this first installation, Beth is reflecting on the simple premise that sparked the idea for this series. How do we love America when America doesn’t love us back?

We believe this series will leave you restored and reconnected as we continue on our complicated journeys as citizens.

We hope you’ll join us by subscribing to Pantsuit Politics.

Yes, I want to join the premium community to get this series and so much more:

Beginning June 5, we’re sharing 30 days of meditations called Reimagining Citizenship that will culminate on July 4th. We’re going to try to love America even when it feels like America isn’t loving us back. You’ll hear from our team, from some very special guests, and, we imagine, from each other in rich comment threads. These meditations will just be a few minutes each and will be available in both written and audio form.

These 30 daily reflections will be available to our premium members. This is a great chance to join our Spice Cabinet premium community and receive not only these meditations, but also our regular premium shows (Good Morning and More to Say), our weekly spicy bonus episode, extra treats like our upcoming Film Club, and participation in our vibrant community of fellow listeners.

If you prefer to listen to these short meditations in your podcast player, we have set this up as a separate feed from our regular shows. Click the button below to set up the Reminagining Citizenship feed in your podcast app so you are ready when they begin on June 5. Setting up the feed in the podcast player of your choice takes less than a minute!
