She Should Run!
February 03, 2021 08:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBDoesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, or Whosie Whatsit....This one is for you! This week on Lady Wave we tackle the often-controversial topic of why representation matters for women no matter your party lines. Women make up nearly 51% of the population and and yet we hold an abysmally low number of positions in our government. We have to change this! But how? Well, women supporting women running for office is a good start and we are gonna chat all about...
Self Care
January 13, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBSo maybe 2020 wasn't our year and perhaps 2021 won't be either, BUT that won't stop us from promoting self care. Now more than ever we need to ditch the notion that self care is a luxury and make it a priority. On this episode we cover the different categories of self care and what we are personally doing to meet those needs. Plus our heat wave is an angel on earth sharing her wealth to help make medical strides so we can kick this pandemic in the ass. And we also give another nod to our fa...
Kamala Harris, The First Female Vice President of the US.
November 12, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBWhile 2020 may have had a bleak streak, there is finally a bright spot that leads us to believe America's best days are still ahead. We could not be more excited that we finally have the first female Vice President of the United States. Sure it's long overdue and the fact that it has been 100 years since women gained the right to vote is not lost on us. But, progress is progress and we are going to celebrate this win for Kamala Harris and women everywhere. "While I may be the first woman in...
Getting to know Supreme Court Nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.
October 14, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBTraveling during COVID, first encounters with Trump parades, dealing with friends and family with different political views, Facebook tirades and hovering over the delete button...That's just the intro! This week's Lady Wave is all over the map. We question whether or not we can support women in power positions when we don’t align with their core beliefs. Specifically, we question all things Amy Coney Barrett. Between her politics and her faith, are we regressing hard earned freedoms to the...
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I Dissent!
September 23, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBToday we dedicate our entire episode to the truly exceptional RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We discuss the impact the loss of our hero is having on us, but rather than wallowing in misery, we celebrate the Notorious RBG by taking a walk through her trailblazing career history and discuss the very strategic actions she took to literally change the way the world works for American women. She did all the heavy lifting...now it's our turn. Rest in power, RBG! You were the ultimate #ladywave! And a ...

May 27, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 49 MBThe Quarantine continues to keep us apart, but that won't stop us from chatting our faces off. So today, we get down and dirty with our discussion on quarantine milestones like facing shared laundry room situations and doctors appointments. We also answer some pretty tough questions like does Teresa yell at people who don't wear masks and do we eat food out of the trash? Don't act like you haven't been there! Then, Kate gets serious about WTF is going on with our skin these days? Quarantine ...
Quarantine Edition
May 13, 2020 11:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MBWhile we'd rather be together podcasting it up like normal, normal is now out the window thanks to the pandemic. So today we're just chatting and catching up like friends do but responsibly socially distanced of course. We answer hard hitting questions like what we've been up to, how we're handling being in quarantine, how Teresa avoids sugar, the ever present always negative news, whether technology can live up to actual human connection, and what we think of celebrity messages like, "We'r...
Herstory
March 09, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBSuper Tuesday may have bummed us out, but it's Women's History Month and we are celebrating by discussing some of our favorite bits of Herstory. First, we get everything off our chest regarding the results of Super Tuesday and the disappointment we felt when our favorite female candidates dropped out of the presidential primary. Sometimes you just have to let it out! Then, Teresa dives in with some surprise factoids about a "shitty" situation regarding the women's restrooms in the Congress a...
Women, Sports, & Kobe
February 17, 2020 18:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBAs time marches on, doesn't it sound ludicrous that equality is still so far out of reach? Of course, BUT thanks to our much needed allies and advocates, progress is on the horizon. In this episode, we run the gamut of topics including a huge update on the fight to pass the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment), women who are infiltrating male dominated sports and making U.S. history, ways we can help women advance in sports, the impressive statement made by the U.S. men's soccer union in solidarity ...
Good News for Women!
February 03, 2020 18:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBListening to the news can often leave you disillusioned with the state of the world when in reality women are kicking ass and taking names all across the globe! In this episode, we decided to focus on all the GOOD news happening out there for women. From the Virginia vote to ratify the ERA, to a record number of women serving in congress, we are a force to be reckoned with. We also Fave Wave it up with a shout out to one of our favorite women in history podcasts as well as an organization he...
Negotiating Your Worth!
January 20, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBDo you want to make more money? Sure we all do... and for women this desire is a tale much older than Sally Struthers! Today we examine the gender pay gap, how it's measured, what the stats are revealing about the choices we make as women, and how those choices might be holding us back. The bottom line is that we need forward momentum to close the gender pay gap once and for all and it begins with negotiating your worth! So, to be the bad ass that you are and go after the money you deserve, ...

Tis the Season for Feminism!
December 16, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBTis the Season for feminism! That's right, you can have your holidays and your feminism too! Christmas time has a way of making us feel like we are in a time warp...bending our ways back to those of the 1950's where women were expected to arrange all things festive while men enjoy utter chill. So today we talk about our personal views of the holidays and how we like to enjoy them, our favorite Christmas music and movies that might have sexist undertones or reinforce gender stereotypes, as we...
Anything you can do, I can do bleeding.
December 02, 2019 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.3 MBToday we tackle the taboo topic of menstruation. That's right! We are talking about periods and all their bloody glory. Society has a long standing history of attaching shame to so many facets of a woman's life, so let's go ahead and take your monthly business off the table or spreadsheet (We are talking to you Missouri!) To do just that, we enter the realm of overshare by opening up about our personal struggles with our cycles, our favorite lady products, and our go-to euphemisms for being ...

Can you separate the art from the artist?
October 21, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBWhen your favorite actor, musician, or artist does something particularly atrocious, can you put that aside and still enjoy their art? Today we put several celebrities ripe with naughty behavior on our chopping block as we discuss their art versus their antics.

Bullshit Laws in the U.S.
September 09, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MBWe thought our bedroom closets were full of bullshit we didn't need, but it turns out that our junk is nothing compared to what lurks in the crusty ole law books across the United States. Today we explore archaic AF state laws that still exist and they range from laughable and outdated to offensive and discriminatory, which goes to show it's time to Marie Kondo our law closet! We also have a badass fave wave this week fighting to make women's voices more powerful when it comes to legislatin...
The F Word
August 26, 2019 00:00 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBFeminism has long since become the nasty F word. But why is that if the meaning is rooted in equality? Today we will discuss what feminism means to us and take a brief walk through history to figure out where all the fuss comes from.
