Don’t go it alone. I’m here to share tips for surviving tough times. I focus on simplifying complex ideas and connecting the dots on the things that affect what was once affectionately called the ”middle class.” Let’s call it anyone who wants to protect human rights, civil rights, and our democracy. I also do improv, so gloves off, I may make you laugh! You’re in my sweet spot if you’re female, smart, GenX or GenX adjacent or GenZ (because we are eerily similar in many ways and my GenZ daughter is the one who keeps telling me this) and men who believe in women. #humanrights #civilrights #democracy #middleclass #womenempowerment Note: this podcast has evolved, yet I can’t change my feed.

Have you been thinking about buying the Trump Watch? Well, bless your heart. Is it too expensive, at $100K a pop? But isn't that too expensive for almost anyone? Not people who want to screw with our election from outside the country. Trump's grift is likely illegal, but there are so many grifts in play that there are not enough humans to chase it. And his cult sees nothing wrong (that's how it goes just before the Kool-Aid arrives).
