How to Make an Impact (and Feel Less Hopeless About Politics) with Emily Amick

We have your political questions answered with this insightful and inspiring episode with author, political analyst, and one of our favorite Instagram follows, Emily Amick (@emilyinyourphone). We cover so much: The current vibe in politics/the election, figuring out your civic personality and how to make a difference on both a local and national level, why women have been told not to talk about politics, how to talk to friends/family members with opposing views and values, if Taylor Swift's endorsement actually made an impact, whether "all politics are corrupt" is accurate, where to get factual news, and Kamala's policies vs. Trump. We also discuss women's reproductive rights, why this is always such a battle, and how we can continue to fight it and win. Before Emily joins us, we discuss which states have the best and worst sex, Ashley shares an awkward coffee shop encounter, and Rayna (lightly) roasts Tessa. Enjoy!
