Mom rage, child labor laws, & Leila Staton, candidate for Iowa House District 54
It's the end of summer and gentle parenting is out, emoting is in. Our kids learned to sail and why the patriarchy sucks at summer camp this year. We chat about losing our shit in front of our kids, and how Chelsea fell for liberal propaganda. Then Chelsea rants about GOP-led states rolling back child labor protections. Our special guest Leila Staton swings by to talk about her noteworthy run for the Iowa House--not because she's only 21--but because she is the first democrat to run for the s...

Camping, a new lake house, and why poor environmental policy will poison us all w/ Myles Markey

Taking Care with Lesley and Chelsea
Being boy moms, converting your husband to a democrat, and the DNC's plan to win male voters
Lesley chats about her high hopes for her new business while Chelsea admits she got dressed down at a baby shower. Meanwhile, Lesley is about to join the double boy mom club, so we unpack the responsibility of raising sons in this cultural and political climate, and wonder if male Trump voters were just throwing a tantrum because they miss locker room talk. Also, we think we could have saved the DNC $20 million dollars if they had just hired us to talk to male voters because we have a very mi...

Fancy purses, schoolyard hustles, and financial policy with The Fiscal Femme
This week it's all about money, honey. We revisit our preteen quest for a Kate Spade purse, Lesley shares the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and we wonder whether tariffs will tank a schoolyard hustle. We also sound the alarm that Republicans have quietly peeled back key parts of legislation that gave women the right to get their own credit cards in the 1970s. Yes, you read that right. Luckily, we have a special guest, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley aka The Fiscal Femme to help us work through...

Taking Care with Lesley and Chelsea
Starting a podcast, Southern Comfort, and what's next
Our first episode is HERE! We chat about our 30 year friendship and some of our missteps in our wilder days (sorry, Moms). While we still aren't following the rules, nowadays there is less Southern Comfort and more conversations about redefining what success looks like as working moms. We chat about how the obsession with increasing birth rates, protesting for democracy, and how the government is failing to take care of people--something women know a lot about. We also introduce our newest pr...
