Utah Ladies Let's Chat
A podcast for women who love Utah, love this country… and know things are getting weird.
Hosted by Angie and Leslie—two curious, bold, and slightly sarcastic women raised in conservative spaces—Utah Ladies Let’s Chat is a space for real conversations about current events, political culture, faith, gender, power, and everything we were taught not to talk about at dinner.
We’re not here to argue.
We’re here to ask questions.
We believe in truth, critical thinking, and changing our minds when we learn something new.
Sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable, always honest—this is a podcast for women who want to be informed, empowered, and just a little bit louder.

Death and Taxes
In this episode of Utah Ladies Let’s Chat, Leslie and Angie dive into the topic everyone loves to avoid: taxes. But stay with us—because understanding how taxes work isn’t just for accountants and politicians. It’s for anyone who’s ever looked at their paycheck and asked, “Wait, where did my money go?”
We break down how the U.S. tax system actually works (spoiler: it’s not as scary as it sounds), clear up common myths about tax brackets, and take a look at how current tax policy affects everyday families. Then we turn our focus to Project 2025 and the proposed two-bracket tax system—which might sound simple, but would actually mean higher taxes for middle- and lower-income families while handing even more breaks to the wealthy.
We connect it all back to our past episodes on the national budget and fascist playbook tactics, highlighting how economic policies are used to consolidate power and keep people struggling. And finally, we answer the question we get the most: What can women in Utah actually do about it?
This episode is a crash course in tax justice—with laughs, real-life numbers, and action steps you can take right now.
