S5 E7: Mother may I?
“Mother May I?”– Occupational Licensing Reform in South Carolina and what it could mean for entrepreneurs, lower-wage income earners, and efforts toward Justice Reform.

S5 E6: “R” is for Revolution

S5 E5: Boys will be boys (pt 3) Double Standards
S5 E5: Are children being unnecessarily (and prematurely) sexualized? We have almost all seen the instruction for school or church sponsored events, “Girls must wear a one-piece swimsuit, or if wearing a two-piece swimsuit a t-shirt must be worn”. While seemingly noble, and probably well-intentioned, these types of policies/instructions establish disparity for girls and womenContinue reading “S5 E5: Boys will be boys (pt 3) Double Standards”

S4 E7: Jesus was the OG libertarian
main idea: the teachings of love, self- and social-responsibility, rejection of authority, and individual rights are all New Testament Biblical Growing up many of us were taught that there are three things you don’t discuss in mixed company: 1.

S4 E6: The Sisterhood of Motherhood
main idea: how we support one another and why. How collaborative approaches foster a sense of community and create villages for our kids.
