Womensplaining

Womensplaining is back after an almost three-month hiatus! Kourtenay Estacio joins Jess and Margy to tell the story of how she lost her dad and the importance of talking about gun violence. To check out Kourtenay's photography business, click here.

When you're balancing running a business and having a life, sometimes you just have to treat yo' self. Jess is indulging in some home renovations and enjoying some effortless vacuuming, while Margy is earning the title of Ticketmaster's best customer.

Founder of Cornbread Hustle, Cheri Garcia, talks about her former meth addiction, how she went viral on the internet, and the commonalities between entrepreneurship and addiction. 

Katy Zvolerin (head of PR for Adam & Eve) discusses what it means to be sex-positive, how to talk about sex openly, and how the definition of a healthy sex life is different for everyone.

Fellow podcast host Jessica Kupferman tells the story of her teenage daughter's struggle with drug addiction which eventually led to her dying of an accidental overdose. Jessica is a very comedic person who does a great job of laughing through her trauma, so don't be afraid of feeling like a terrible person if you find parts of this tragic story funny.

Alexandra Harbushka, host of the podcast Life with Herpes, joins Jess and Margy to discuss ending stigmas, being brave, and self-love. Alexandra also tells the story of getting her herpes diagnosis and how she found love when she once thought she never would. (It's about to get REAL cute in this episode).

The stresses of being business owners are manifesting themselves in hilarious ways: Jess is "stress nesting" (Margy Feldhuhn™) at the office and Margy is ordering a lot of stuff online. The best way to deal with stress though is to just take a deep breath, be thankful for what you have, and hope that smelling baked goods in the air isn't a sign of you having a stroke.

Jess and Margy talk with the host of the podcast Life on the Outside, Lucy Copp. On her show, Lucy interviews ex-lifers who are returning to society after decades of incarceration. And on this episode of Womensplaining, she discusses how she got into re-entry, the impact that the stories she helps to tell, and how she believes there is good in everyone. Listen to Lucy's podcast Life on the Outside here.

Jess and Margy interview their former co-worker Dave Gerraughty about what it's like to know you're dying. Last year, Dave was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and while he has already beaten the six-month window that his doctor gave him, his life is coming to an end and he talks about what it feels like to be aware of that.

On the first remotely recorded episode of Womensplaining, Hilary Hendershott (who is frequently mentioned on the show) talks with Jess and Margy about money: having it, not having it, working for it, and the stigmas surrounding it.
