Women in history are more than names and dates, they are stories to be inspired by. This week on See It To Be It, we talk to founder of Gal's Guide to the Galaxy Leah Leach. Gal's Guide opened the first-ever lending-library dedicated to women's history in America. Their mission is to preserve, collect and share women's history. Leach spent months in search for reading material about women in history that was otherwise hidden or obselte. After her and the non-profits tireless fundraising efforts, Gal's Guide was able to open their first location in early March 2020. With enough funding to keep them open for a year, the sky is the limit for this boss lady. Leach on her greatest inspiration for developing the library: _04:44 " I believe in the see it to be it. You've gotta be able to see somebody doing the thing that you want to do to be able to envision it for yourself. And I wasn't taught women's history in school. My daughters, to a certain extent, still are not taught women's history in school." Leach on working hard and never giving up, even when the process is lagging: _13:14 'It went from crickets to, you know, just a whirlwind of cheers and celebration, and I'm like, "there's everybody!" I was wondering where they were. Sometimes it just takes awhile. You got to be in it to win it though. You never know. " For more information about Gals Guide, make sure to visit Galsguide.org!

Kelly & Molly discuss their current birth control methods in an effort to avoid the actual content of the episode, their final explainer episode about the real-life inspiration behind The Handmaid's Tale book, film and Hulu adaptation. They cover Bigfoot documentaries, numbers as a tool of the patriarchy, real-ass citations, looking out for sex workers, more tepid book recommendations, Gone with the Wind apologia, consequences for war criminals in Gilead and how to mispronounce a lot of Russian words.

Kelly & Molly prepare for what's sure to be an uplifting Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu with their fourth installment of Gal's Guide to Gilead. This time, they dig into the real-life inspirations for the novel and tv show while making an unfortunate number of Smash Mouth references, dissing the the tourism of the macabre, bemoaning the undisputed assumption that women are property, referencing kangaroo courts, learning about contemporary labor camps, and put Judeo-Christian bias on blast . If you're enjoying this series, pretty please throw us some dollars on Venmo, drop a note on Facebook or leave a review on Apple Podcasts! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Kelly & Molly handle the flotsam and jetsam of The Handmaid's Tale in this grab bag episode. They get into bad Spanglish, how to partially like books, Molly's lack of geography skills, the merits of reality tv, identifying primary and secondary sources, the semantics of the Colonies, human male seahorses, and Making a Martha. Don't forget to show us some love on Venmo, Facebook and Apple Podcasts-you might get an on-air shoutout! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Kelly & Molly are back and more fueled by mac n' cheese than ever! In the second Gal's Guide to Gilead Handmaid's Tale explainer ep, they talk Gilead and its diminishing returns, epigraphs vs epigrams, Kentucky hags, Naomi Osaka, fertility-destroying caviar, Hulu series newspaper easter eggs, the Wayne Enterprises Christmas party, cunnilingus trains, Christian Netflix, leeks, weigh-ins for flight attendants and SATC cast members, S3 backstory wishlists and doin the frick-frack.

Kelly & Molly, cite their sources--thoroughly--from the comfort of a spacious new couch! In their first explainer episode, they put the Handmaid in The Handmaid's Tale with info from the original novel, the Hulu adaptation, and the sardonic Margaret Atwood's own words. They also spend an absurd amount of time talking about Lindsay Lohan's farewell selfie to John McCain. Snag a shoutout by throwing us a few bucks on Venmo, recommend our Facebook page to your friends going through Gilead withdrawal, and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts!

My friend, Hanna Seymour, and I are talking through questions like: What if you don’t want to have sex as much as you thought you would? What to do if sex is awkward, or hurts? How do you get better at sex? And more!
On one hand... you’ve got creativity running through your bloodstream. You think outside the box and see the world as one big art project waiting to happen. Whether you’re the kind of creative who writes, draws, sings, sews, photographs, or simply has a right-brained mind that just won’t quit, you have a unique way of looking at life that serves you in any situation. On the other hand... a girl’s gotta eat. Five (or more) days a week, you do the work to pay the bills, and have a job you’re plugging away at – maybe even a full-blown career you’re carving out for yourself. You’re no stranger to the so-called daily grind: the traffic-jammed commute, the stressors of your job, the responsibilities that loom over your head as you hustle at work. Whether you are in love with your job or are just trying to get by, there’s one thing most creative types have in common when it comes to the daily grind: do I have to give up my identity as an artist just to fit in? Just because you’re a working girl doesn’t mean that you have to squash your creative impulses. If you’re not used to singing your own praises, this is a really good time to start: you have a special, visionary way of viewing the world that not only serves you, but serves all those around you. Whether your daily grind is in an artistic field or not, here are four ways to honor your creative work, your 9-5 work…and still end the day feeling like you can do it all, just as you are.
