What Do We Do Now?
It's morning in America friends and we're all feeling pretty crappy. Or at least half the country is. What we know so far is that Donald Trump will be the 47th president, Republicans will take the Senate and the House is still up for grabs. What does this mean? How do we move forward? How do we keep hope alive? Let's talk about how to take care of yourself first and foremost and then let's get on our big girl panties and fight another damn day.

The Secret Votes of Women
We've seen an explosion of ads and memes this week trying to empower conservative women to vote in secret and differently than their husbands. It's both effective and also a sad commentary on the world we have to live in right now. Today we're joined by Tia Levings, author of A Well-trained Wife: My Escape From Christian Patriarchy. While she was still living within the Christian patriarchy Tia was one of those women who did have to vote the same way as her husband or not vote at all. She has received a ton of messages this week from women who have told her they will be voting against their husband's views for the very first time.
