After a week off the grid celebrating their best friend's wedding, the ladies get straight to the point. They're skipping straight to the politics this week, talking about SCOTUS rulings on gerrymandering and the Census, the horrifying reports about separated children at the border, the latest allegation of rape against President Trump, and the first Democratic Debate of the 2020 election. Let's get to it!

The title says it all. Sterling and Tricia are off to watch their best friend get hitched, so this week's episode is less about current events and more about listener-submitted questions like, "Who would you vote for in the primary if it was today," and "Is a boneless chicken wing the same thing as a chicken nugget?" Let's go! 

It's a loose episode today, folks! The ladies discuss a new report by AAUW on barriers and bias against women in the workplace, the importance of financial freedom on mental health, Nike's plus size mannequins, and the new powerful new series on Netflix called "When They See Us". And stick around for the politics section to hear about Missouri's forced vaginal exams with no medical necessity and the terror happening in Sudan's fight for democracy.

Whether it's to a feminist cake artist, a brave survivor who empowers others to seek justice, organizations fighting for gun control at the local level, or an entire country for acknowledging an ugly history and working to do better….we need to give credit where credit is due. Jump in for the latest pop culture and politics, but stay for what Tricia learned from a 74-year old shamanic yogi.

And "Finding your passion" is really f*cking bad advice! Get ready for all the hot takes in this episode. From getting comfortable with a little confrontation and accountability in your friendships, to Ellen DeGeneres' #MeToo story, and Kamala Harris' plan for reproductive rights, we're covering all of our bases today.

Thanks to Brittany Packnett's TED talk, we have a new mantra for the week. On this episode the ladies talk about the trials of job hunting, the constant communication culture we live in, and confidence. They also get into some of the latest news, like the BuzzFeed expose on Tony Robbins, the Morehouse graduation surprise, and the latest on Presidential obstruction of justice, abortion bans, and the Equality Act. Dive in!

Let's get to the point. The abortion bans happening all across the country are an unprecedented, coordinated assault on human rights. We're talking all about it on the pod today, as well as facial recognition software, Nike's maternity leave policy, and advice for long distance relationships.

Fresh off their best friend's bachelorette party, the ladies recap their special weekend and the great conversations that happen when a bunch of badass women get together. Strap in for lessons like, "Say 'thank you' not 'I'm sorry'," and abundance versus scarcity mindset. And obviously the latest news, like a Met Gala recap, Georgia's unconstitutional abortion ban, and new evidence in the Sandra Bland case. Let's go!

Here's an idea...talk about important shit! The ladies vent about being touched in public without consent, dive into the hot gossip surrounding 50 Cent and...LaLa Kent? 2019 just keeps getting weirder. Stick around for Mueller talk, a discussion about the increase in white nationalist violence, and the horribly failed "attempt" to bring down Mayor Pete.

Pour yourself a glass of wine (or whiskey) for this episode, because Sterling and Tricia sure did! After a few very long weeks of adulthood, the ladies let loose a bit and catch up on each other's lives and discuss the latest and greatest TV, the redacted Mueller report, Elizabeth Warren, and the importance of recognizing small moments of human connection. Drink up!
