Summary

This week, Ashlee and Indiana sit down with Beth Silvers and Sarah Stewart Holland from Pantsuit Politics to talk about something important that seems to have gotten lost in today's culture: nuance. Beth and Sarah explain how their communication approach—rooted in curiosity and a desire to understand—highlights the middle ground between argument and apathy. They also talk about how they've learned to move toward each other and a better relationship, even though they hold opposing viewpoints on many issues. Plus, they drop their best suggestions for how to stay informed in an unbiased, non-time-consuming way.

0:00.0	We believe motherhood is a gift, an art, not a science. We believe it takes a village to raise our children and that motherhood is better when we stick together.
0:10.0	Most of all, we believe that you are a great mom.
0:14.0	At the core of our show, we want you to feel safe, known, encouraged, and loved.
0:19.0	And we also want to make you laugh sometimes.
0:21.0	This is the Coffee and Crumbs Podcast.
0:24.0	Welcome to the Coffee and Crumbs Podcast.
0:29.6	Ashley is with me today to talk about something that I don't think we've really
0:34.5	tackled on the show before have we? Well no but I feel the need to provide a
0:39.9	caveat here which is we are not talking about politics today we are talking about
0:46.3	how to talk about politics today it still makes me sweaty that's fine and I'll just say it makes me sweaty because I often don't feel educated enough to have that kind of discourse in real life, let alone on the internet in front of people that will probably write
1:06.8	letters to us.
1:08.1	Sure, and I think, I mean, I think that's a fair concern and we are speaking typically to mothers of
1:15.8	young children who are I mean I'll speak for myself here I am really limited in
1:21.5	my time and energy and mental resources each day to be able to spend
1:27.2	hours and hours absorbing the news. So I think that's a really valid concern and or problem that a lot of us young moms are
1:35.0	facing in today's political climate. So we have the women from Pantsuit
1:40.3	politics coming to speak to us today. Beth and Sarah, this is a huge get for our
1:45.8	show. Can you tell everyone why you are so interested in talking to Beth and Sarah?
1:51.1	Well I am a huge fan of their show I love their podcast and I I just think it's really
1:57.1	rare these days to be able to find two women who disagree on a lot of things politically. I know that they do have a lot of
2:06.8	common ground which they discuss in their show but they record a podcast every
2:11.8	week talking about politics and they don't always agree and they do it with so much respect for one another and so much nuance and I just think that's a really rare gift to find in 2019.
