Hey girl, in Part One, we break down the structure and history of Multilevel Marketing with great detail and excitement. Be sure to listen carefully for some tips from the FTC at the beginning! From the California Vitamin Company and its successor Amway, and onto still thriving female-centric brands like Avon and Mary Kay, these pyramid-like companies have been around for decades. Come back next week for Part Two, in which we'll talk about the modern MLM and the psychology that brings people in and keeps them involved.

We know you missed us during our short haitus this summer... but do not despair, for we will return shortly with brand new episodes with FRESSSSH new topics! See ya on the flip side, friends!

Women face particular challenges when it comes to getting the medical community to take their issues and pain seriously and this month, we're getting personal about it. In Part 2, Bree shares her personal history with PCOS, a very unknown and underdiagnosed condition. We also touch on how implicit bias can affect the diagnosis and treatment of women in different intersections. Finally, we turn to our listeners once again for some of their first-hand experiences. We hear from Heather, who had problems getting diagnosed with asthma, and Cassie, whose doctor wouldn't see past her weight to treat her.

This month is all about moms. In Part 1, we each interviewed our mothers in one-on-one conversations about feminism, getting a degree while working full time and raising young children, being Latina and white-passing, going back to work after being a stay-at-home mom, caretaking for parents, and of course, us. Being a mom is a tough job, but imagine raising these little feminist rebels. Shout out to our moms and all the other moms out there for all that they do!

We are joined by the lovely Carrie Wade, our first ever official guest on SheSplain. We get right into the heart of the matter by discussing how we define femininity and masculinity - personally, and as a society. Heteronormativity and other cool sociological terms come up, and don't worry, we break it all down for you! Carrie shares her personal experience and evolution of femininity, and how her disability has shaped the way the world perceives her.
