Taking Care with Lesley and Chelsea
Two childhood best friends are seemingly living different lives. Lesley, an entrepreneur in Iowa, is raising a blended family of outdoor adventure seekers, tending to her garden, and cooking up new ideas in the commercial kitchen on her property. Chelsea is a lawyer in NYC, renovating her dream house, studying reiki, and hosting dinner parties. While their lives look different from the outside, their 25 year friendship cuts through the superficial differences and reveals the deeper shared experiences of motherhood, marriage, and work in the context of our current political climate. Join Lesley and Chelsea for conversations on taking care of what's important.

Can you be a bitchy tradwife? AI thinks so. We chat about overcoming our micro traumas, college dinner parties, Hobby Lobby, and how Republicans are deliberately excluding women from participating in the political process. We also have our first guest Mimi stop by to talk to us about being a tradwife before it was cool.
