Lady Wave

Happy New Year from Lady Wave! Today is all about getting Fem in 2020. We chat about everything from the most common New Year's resolutions, how we tend to approach them, and tips for giving your resolutions a feminist upgrade! We even tackle that pesky Peloton controversy...or was it? Plus, in the spirit of celebrating ladies on the daily we dish on some holidays for women that you might not know to celebrate. Then, we wrap this all up in a super hot bow with our Fave Wave that shows women are forging their way into equal representation in one of the most important professions. 2020...it's our year! #ladywave

Tis the Season for feminism! That's right, you can have your holidays and your feminism too! Christmas time has a way of making us feel like we are in a time warp...bending our ways back to those of the 1950's where women were expected to arrange all things festive while men enjoy utter chill. So today we talk about our personal views of the holidays and how we like to enjoy them, our favorite Christmas music and movies that might have sexist undertones or reinforce gender stereotypes, as well as fun ways to incorporate feminism into this holiday season. Searching for feminist presents? We've got that list for Santa! Plus, we gift you a little history lesson on some festive holiday traditions that have surprising feminist origin stories. And our fave wave is all about supporting the girls, and by girls we mean boobs and women's' health. Happy Holidays #ladywave!

Today we tackle the taboo topic of menstruation. That's right! We are talking about periods and all their bloody glory. Society has a long standing history of attaching shame to so many facets of a woman's life, so let's go ahead and take your monthly business off the table or spreadsheet (We are talking to you Missouri!) To do just that, we enter the realm of overshare by opening up about our personal struggles with our cycles, our favorite lady products, and our go-to euphemisms for being on the rag. We also delve into a brief history of feminine hygiene products, the ridiculousness of the pink and luxury taxes affecting all women, the global issue of period poverty, and how you can help! Plus, our Fave Wave sticks it to a man who clearly knows nothing about the needs of teenage girls in school. Periods... they're all natural baby, so let's chat it out! What's your period story? #ladywave

Is activism on your mind, but you don't know where to start? Have you been thinking about giving back to your community, but feel thwarted because you are low on free time? Well, welcome to Teresa's favorite subject...ever! Today we discuss every which way you can get involved without a ton of effort or time! Teresa's hot tips will show you the way to becoming a five minute activist no matter your passion. Plus, our Fave Wave is a glowing example of how just a little bit a creativity can turn up the buzz on causes you care about. In this case, one small symbolic gesture put a big spot light on equal pay for women. #ladywave

The Quarantine continues to keep us apart, but that won't stop us from chatting our faces off. So today, we get down and dirty with our discussion on quarantine milestones like facing shared laundry room situations and doctors appointments. We also answer some pretty tough questions like does Teresa yell at people who don't wear masks and do we eat food out of the trash? Don't act like you haven't been there! Then, Kate gets serious about WTF is going on with our skin these days? Quarantine skin is a thing and it's written all over our faces, but we've got the low down on why it's happening and what you can do about it. Plus, Teresa combats her depressing and negative google alerts by doing her favorite dance move. It's called the PIVOT! Well, ok, it might not be a dance move but she does have inspirational ideas for self care and staying sane during the pandemic. Don't know what the broken window theory is? Well, T-Money will school you in less than 5 seconds. And lastly, our Fave Wave is a salute to one of our favorite female directors who never waited to be picked, she just made her own way. #ladywave
