0:10.0 | Freedom doesn't mean comfort, but I also think that freedom doesn't mean fear. |
0:16.0 | We got to address the suburban women problem because it's real. |
0:26.0 | Welcome to the suburban women problem, a podcast from red, wine, and blue. |
0:33.1 | Hi, everyone. Thanks for joining us. I'm Rachel Vindman. I'm Amanda Weinstein. I'm Jasmine Clark. |
