Momarchy

Sarah and Tanya kick off the episode with a lighthearted conversation about Fourth of July traditions, parenting moments, and a few of the latest headlines before welcoming Margaret Bronson and Brittany Ericson of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret and Brittany share their powerful stories of leaving high-control fundamentalist religious communities (aka cults) and discuss the challenges of rebuilding their lives after religious trauma. They also explain how Deconstruction Doulas supports survivors navigating life beyond abuse while offering insight into recognizing the signs of coercive religious environments. It's an eye-opening conversation about resilience, healing, and finding the courage to reclaim your own path.

Sarah and Tanya welcome State Representative Lindsay Gilchrist for a candid conversation that moves from the chaos of parenting to the complexities of public service and policy-making. What begins with airplane snacks, sick kids, and TV obsessions quickly opens into a wider reflection on motherhood, identity, and the systems that shape family life today. Lindsey shares her journey through politics, foster care, and adoption, offering an unfiltered look at building a family through uncertainty, love, and resilience. Together, they explore what it means to legislate from lived experience, to parent through burnout and joy, and to keep showing up for both your kids and your community when the world feels like it's spinning a little too fast.

Sarah and Tanya swap stories from the front lines of parenthood - from birthday celebrations and parenting mishaps to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up fast. They also dive into the headlines, unpacking everything from rising costs to global health concerns. Then, they sit down with Sarah Curmi, Executive Director of States Win, for a conversation about why state legislatures are at the center of some of the biggest fights over abortion rights, child care, education, and democracy. It's an honest, hopeful discussion about grassroots organizing, the power of down-ballot races, and how busy parents can make a meaningful impact in their own communities.

A refresh, a reality check, and a whole lot of mom mayhem. This season premiere kicks off with a mix of big-picture conversation and everyday parenting moments. From unpacking the controversial "anti-weaponization fund" and what it could mean for families, to reflecting on summer planning, childhood nostalgia, and how parenting has changed across generations. Of course, it wouldn't be Momarchy without plenty of relatable chaos in between - tantrums, sunglasses getting destroyed, snack hacks, and the ongoing debate of gentle parenting vs. "figure it out" parenting.

Two moms. Zero filter. Tanya and Sarah met on the Hillary Clinton campaign - before marriage, before kids - bonding over spicy margaritas and campaign chaos. A decade later, a few babies in and some political burnout behind them, they're still deep in the madness of modern politics… and now the messiness of motherhood too. They couldn't find a space that spoke to politically engaged moms overwhelmed by today's extremes - so they created one.
