Momarchy with Sarah & Tanya

• Feeling Politically Homeless? Too Left, Too Right, Too Tired

  Are you tired of feeling like you don't fit anywhere on the political spectrum? Welcome to our premiere episode of Momarchy, where we, your hosts Tanya Nathan and Sarah Andrews, dive into why so many people feel politically homeless right now. We are so excited to have a home where we can bring you the real, unfiltered conversations about politics and motherhood that we've been craving. As political consultants and new moms, we're opening up about the polarization that's making it impossible to have nuanced conversations—from getting attacked on social media to navigating mom groups where political differences explode. This is our space to talk about the messy middle where most of us actually live. We're introducing our signature segments Pardon My Politics and DGAF Mom Version, plus sharing why we both needed breaks from social media and how becoming moms changed our perspective on political engagement. Ready for politics that doesn't make you want to scream? Tune in now and join the conversation that's been missing from your feed.

• Beyond Book Bans: What it Actually Looks Like when Politics and Parenting Meet with State Senator Lindsey Daugherty

  What does it look like when an elected official prioritizes common sense over party politics? In this episode of Momarchy, we sit down with Colorado State Senator Lindsey Daugherty, who's made a name for herself as a moderate voice willing to challenge extremes on both sides. We're diving into the uncomfortable truths about why politics are failing families (spoiler: it’s not actually about book bans), like accessibility to child care, why normal people don't want to run for office anymore, and how being a mom changes everything about how you approach policy. Plus, Lindsey gets brutally honest about pumping breast milk during late-night committee hearings and why she'll "die on a hill" to protect children's best interests over parental convenience. Lindsey Daugherty is a state senator and represents areas including Jefferson County, Arvada, and Westminster. She graduated from the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver. She has done a significant amount of work supporting children in the foster care system. She is also the vice chair of the newly formed “Opportunity Caucus” in Colorado, whose goal is to bring more center-left Democrats together. We Discuss: 05:26 - Favorite DU bars and Real Housewives confessions  09:57 - Biggest fears about where politics is headed  13:15 - What keeps you showing up when you're burned out  17:26 - How more moms in office would change everything  21:29 - Pardon My Politics: Who really defines "parental rights"?  25:18 - Why performative culture wars get more attention than women's lives  27:09 - The political issue everyone talks about privately  29:25 - Being pregnant in the legislature (and pumping during votes)  32:31 - What keeps you up at night as a mom  35:39 - Holding both fear and hope in this moment Learn more about:  Tanya Nathan is a political campaign and communications strategist with over a decade of experience in progressive campaigns and advocacy.

• Welcome to Momarchy: Here's What it's All About

  Momarchy is a podcast where two millennial moms get real about raising kids and making sense of the world. We’re calling out the BS, breaking down the headlines, and laughing through the mess—because honestly, what else can we do? We met on the Hillary Clinton campaign—before marriage, before kids—bonding over spicy margaritas and campaign chaos. A decade later, a few babies in and some political burnout behind us, we’re still deep in the madness of modern politics… and now the messiness of motherhood too. We couldn’t find a space that spoke to politically engaged moms overwhelmed by today’s extremes—so we created one. Whether you're here to learn, vent, or just feel a little less alone, subscribe now and join us as we take the drama out of politics and the shame out of motherhood. This is Momarchy—and we’re just getting started. Find more from us:  For daily Momarchy thoughts, follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momarchypodcast/
