Porch Talk - A Peace from the Porch Project

We continue our conversation with Elle Roy about the realities of striking out on one's own as an entrepreneur. Women supporting women, even in conversation, is more important that it's ever been, so give it listen and share with the women you're rooting for!

Founder of Coastal Creative Consulting, Elle Roy, joins Christy and Stacy for some serious girl talk around making our own way when the job market shuts us down.

This year, women's history month is celebrating women educating and inspiring others. We call that nurture. But what about the warriors? The bra burners and protesters? Join Christy and Stacy as they compare, contrast and opine on nurturer v warrior.

A couple of older white women have some things to say about the White House's attempt to reduce Black History Month to a single day in February. American History doesn't exist without Black History. We also take a swing at the SAVE act and it's potential dangers for many of us.

The craziness is only beginning! Christy and Stacy add their commentary and color to the the good ol' USA's latest invention... DOGE. Anxiety levels are on the rise!

What in the world is happening to our world as we know it here in the USA?? We can't keep up, but we DO have things to say about the massive shift in the government and corporate landscape. The gloves are off, y'all.

Hell, yes we are. Women have been managing the world from the kitchen to the boardroom for a long time. We're expected to multitask, and we do it really well. Add in the feminine tendency towards compassion and reason, and the question slams into the conversation. Why are there not MORE women running businesses?

Here's an episode well worth your time whether you're a working parent or not. Chelsea White spends some time on the porch discussing her journey as a Product Manager at a large corporation while raising a neurodivergent son. Working mom a special needs child is nothing short of supermom, so grab a drink and join us!

Brian Thompson is gunned down in the middle of New York, and his murder is an overnight folk hero. Christy and Stacy discuss the current sentiment towards big corporations and their leaders and how a young man of wealth an privilege took up a working class cause that seems to be sparking a movement that could turn ugly fast.

It's our Thanksgiving episode, and we're talking about family and caregiving. How do you balance work and caregiving? How can leaders support that? We'll also take a stab at return to work and why we think it's a bad idea to force people back into the office.

How do you start the conversation with someone who voted differently than you? And will the same approach work in the workplace as you seek to communicate across departmental silos? Here's a great episode for HR professionals. We encourage you to get down in the trenches and learn about preventable divisions that can hurt company goals.

Stacy and Christy discuss the importance of giving people room to fail in order to excel. We also weigh in on the election and how the Democrats may have failed at a core principle of great leadership. Listening. Did the Democrats fail to hear the Hispanic working class? Can we really promote identity politics when people are drowning in an uncertain economy?

We're in a dangerous time as the election barrels towards a climatic end. Tense exchanges seem to be inevitable. So how do you navigate them? Especially when you disagree with what you're hearing.
