Misandry + Margaritas

Can you make a house a home before you're officially "settled down?"  Music executive Rochelle Holguin, who developed and executed significant music marketing campaigns for primetime series Teen Wolf, Awkward, Faking It, The Real World, Teen Mom, Jersey Shore and The Hills among others, joins us to chat home ownership. Aurora Hernandez dissects her intimate relationship with Seamless on the rebel girl roundtable with Trisha Espinoza.

In this episode we explore the intersection of loving all things that glitter while simultaneously rebelling against the cultural standards of beauty imposed on us.  Can we reject binary normative expectations if we subscribe to them? Beauty blogger extraordinaire and NYFW regular Sara Zucker shares her thoughts on this episode and music marketing guru Diedre Gary joins the rebel girl roundtable.

We talk to ladies making babies on their own terms including single straight women who chose to go through the artificial insemination process on their own or women that decided that adoption was the right choice for them.  Robin Hopkins of If These Ovaries Could Talk, is our extra special guest this week and gives us some LGBT insight on what it's like to live in a world designed for straight families. 

Whether a bucket list trip or work related travel, what are the thrills and the pitfalls of going on the road solo?  Documentary filmmaker Lauren Anders Brown and Bollywood actress and screenwriter Mo Pitz talk to us about navigating short term and long term challenges when traveling alone as a woman.  Whether language and culture barriers, or how to get through customs with expensive equipment, the ladies share their stories and tips.  On the rebel girl roundtable Susan Natoli talks about driving cross country by herself.

Record Collecting For Girls author, Courtney E. Smith, joins us for a chat about cultural expectations surrounding marriage, children, and how friendships evolve for women making alternative choices.  Can women change the paradigm of what "having it all" means? Susan Gottlieb joins the rebel girl roundtable.

Each week Aurora Hernandez and Susan Natoli sit down with bad ass women to pick apart gender based cultural tropes and hetero-normative values while celebrating those who have found happiness and fulfillment down paths that break the rules. Record Collecting For Girls author Courtney E. Smith (who will be featured in the premiere full length episode this November) chats with the girls about the show concept and name.
