Lemonada.

This is Elise Knapp. You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

This holiday season, as our team takes time off, we are sharing with you the conversations Sarah and Beth had this year about the book, Habits of the Heart.

We slow read this wonderful book from the 1980s about American society all throughout 2025 with our premium community on substack.

The episode you're about to hear covers part one of the book and originally ran at the beginning of May.

It includes

conversation about individualism, marriage, what it means to find yourself, and the values and

dangers of that pursuit. Plus, a few spicy takes, like Sarah's suggestion that we dust off

the idea of hell, you're going to enjoy this one. We hope that you like hearing these conversations

and that they inspire you to pick up the book, have some conversations like this of your own, and to join us on Substack in the New Year, where we have conversations like this every week.

We'll be sharing the final two installments of the Habits of the Heart Slow Read series next week, so make sure you join us for those.

Then we'll be back to regular programming on Tuesday, January 6th. Thank you so much

for listening. We hope you have the very best holiday season available to you.

The holidays bring so much joy, but also so much excess. I've been trying to find small

practical ways to celebrate the season without all the waste. And one of the best solutions I've

found is Mill. Mill is the odorless, effortless,

fully automated food recycler, and it's been my one easy thing that makes reducing food waste a

breeze during this busy time of year. Mill makes it so easy to keep food out of the landfill.

Just dropping your food scraps from turkey bones to pie crust and veggie pills, and that's it.

Mill quietly transforms them into nutrient-wrench grounds overnight. Plus, I can keep filling it for weeks. I'm so glad I have my Mill food recycler in time for the holidays because it's seriously made hosting so much easier. When our kitchen is full of people cooking, chatting, making a mess, I never have to think twice about the trash. I just toss the scraps, close the lid and it's handled. No overflowing bends, no smells, no stress. It's such a small thing. But it makes hosting feel calmer and more aligned with the kind of home I want to run, one that's thoughtful, responsible, and a little more sustainable. Add Mill to your wishlift or gift one now. Get up to $200 off during their biggest sale of the season, Thursday, November 20th through Monday, December 1st. Miss the sale, you can still get $75 off with code Pantsuit.

If you're like me, it's probably not about memorizing grammar tables or topping a leaderboard. It's because we want to

speak it out in the real world with real people. Babble gets you there fast. Their bite-sized lessons

fit easily into your daily routine and are also easy to remember. Just 10 minutes a day is
