We put women in a category

November 6, 2019Podcast Episodesagoodidea, books, conversations, entertainment, episodes, girlpod, podcastepisodes, womenagoodidea

Today we’re sitting down to talk about Representative Katie Hill resigning after her personal photos were released without her permission, and the standards that women are held to as opposed to men. What do you think?

We talked about a podcast we’re loving lately called American Girls, and this episode in particular was so insightful and gave us a lot to think about. We hope you’ll check it out too.

That sounds very Christopher Columbus

If you’re anything like us, you scroll news reports reading only the headlines and spend copious amounts of time digesting the latest happenings of the entertainment world. And *maybe* you have the occasional conversation about how to raise moderately good human beings.

We’re talking today about how to raise inclusive kids, and we’re adding your advice to the convo! Some things we do and some things we need to start doing are all on the table, and we’re also touching on how we as adults can model behavior for these little people (both in good and bad ways.)

But first, the Emmy’s, do shows stand the test of time, and a little talk about poverty and homelessness to whet our appetites for a discussion about raising inclusive kids! Naturally.

Looking for links on some of the things we discussed today?

The Internet is Everyone’s District

July 31, 2019Podcast Episodesagoodidea, books, conversations, entertainment, finances, itsagoodideatoread, womenagoodidea

This week, we have a plethora of good reads by women authors before we talk with some more transparency about finances and where we find it necessary to splurge, but it doesn’t feel like a splurge. We’re talking B-level priorities that make it into our monthly budgets. One of us splurges on being healthy, and one splurges on take-out. You can probably guess which is which.

We also talk about Joy for Charlotte, a Kindness Movement that April and Christina, good friends of the pod, (@carolinacharm and @smidgeofthis) are kicking off to spread joy around the world. The message is one that we wholly believe in, and we hope you’ll check this out and spread a little extra kindness today. To read more about this, check out Christina’s post.

Also, if you listen on release day (Wednesday, July 31) it’s Caroline’s birthday! Head over to our IG @agoodideapod to shoot her good wishes for the following year. Here’s hoping that the next year brings new feelings that don’t include the buzzword “haggard.”
