"Samantha Irby has a blog called Bitches Gotta Eat, and she has a book called Meaty,” says Lindy. “I just love her so much. I feel like people sometimes call my work ‘vulnerable and brave,’ and she just makes me feel like a coward and a liar, you know? She's so candid about things that I would just never touch, and then she writes about them in ways that are so funny and relatable and smart. Then I'm just like, ‘Oh, why was I afraid? Why was I afraid to talk about that?’”

Hear how Chirlane McCray, the First Lady of New York City, and Amy Keller Laird, the Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, are trying to smash the stigma.

The Women Promoted in This Episode:

“I basically watch MSNBC like a fool, and Rachel Maddow is my favorite person to watch,” says Amy. “It was so exciting to see that our podcast, which is still in its infancy, had made the, New and Noteworthy list on iTunes, and that we were right alongside her.”

“Hillary Clinton was an enthusiastic cheerleader of Thrive NYC,” says Chirlane. “She actually gave us advice about how to approach it by going to communities and having town halls and getting people's first hand experiences with the mental health system. She’s just incredible. The other woman I want to promote is the author Tanwi Nandidi Islam. Her book, Bright Lines, is about what the life of an eighteen year old daughter of Bangladesh immigrants in 2003 in Brooklyn was like. It's a coming of age story and it is really wonderful.”

The Women Promoted in This Episode:

“Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams have a new podcast based on their comedy show, Two Dope Queens,” says Sara. “They try to always book women, book people of color, and to book people of different kinds of orientations, and gender identifications. Basically they try to book people other than just white dudes. Although they have white dudes on too.”

“I love Oprah Winfrey,” says Chamique. “I just think she's such a giver to people and a very strong woman. And I also like Ellen DeGeneres, because I think she embodies the same thing—but she’s also just really funny.”
