Hi. We are Sarah & Beth. We are lawyers, mothers, and hosts of the bipartisan podcast Pantsuit Politics. Just as we differ in political philosophy, we’ve arranged our lives in very different ways - from our careers to where we live to our choices around marriage and family. But we have more in common than divides us. In a world that increasingly defaults to false dichotomies, we explore the messiness of living wisely —the choices, tradeoffs, priorities, and grace of living a nuanced life. Our first show premieres tomorrow and we hope you will join us!
