We've got to address the suburban women problem because it's real.

Suburban women helped determine the 2020 election, but there's more to us in the headlines

would have you believe. The suburbs aren't a homogeneity of white people in perfect houses.

Real change is happening in the suburbs, and we have things to say.

When women share their personal stories, walls come down and barriers are broken.

Welcome to the suburban women problem, a podcast from red, wine, and blue.

Hi, everyone. Thanks for listening. I'm Amanda Weinstein. I'm Jasmine Clark. I'm Rachel Vindman.

And this is the suburban women problem. Welcome back, everyone. This has been a busy summer for all of us.

So thanks for making the time to listen today. And not only are our personal and professional life so busy, it's hard not to get overwhelmed and demoralized by the state of the country too, right?

Burnout doesn't just happen because we have to work and we have to drop our kids off

at soccer practice and do the dishes and a million other things in our daily lives.

It happens when we don't see hope on the horizon, when we don't see progress being made.

And right now, it can feel hard to find that hope to find that change.

I'm feeling hopeful right now, but I want to see more change.

I want to see more fight.

Later on, we'll be speaking with Nicole Leparotti, a busy Ohio mom who still finds time for issues that she cares about,

and after that I get the chance to chat with Melinda Hale, a phenomenal actress and singer

and business owner and activist and podcast hosts and mom, and she still finds time to incorporate

social justice into everything she does. So let's get into it. Jasmine, you're a scientist,

a legislator, and a mom of teenagers. I have to imagine you are feeling a little over it with

everything that's been going on. What's your burnout level? So I don't even know if there is like a

maximum burnout level, but whatever that is, I'm probably past it.
