60: The American Moms and Politics: How to Stay Informed, Teach Your Kids and Be a Good Citizen in Highly Political Times

This episode was recorded several weeks before COVID-19 became the hot-topic global issue that we're now living in, but in some ways it makes the content even more applicable to what we're facing currently. In today's episode, I interview twin sisters, moms, political junkies, former White House and Capitol Hill staffers Andrea Reeve and Brittany Richman who are both incredibly passionate about American politics. Andrea and Brittany answer some of my toughest questions about how to get the very most well-rounded and credible news sources to form your own opinions, how to talk to your kids about politics, how to be good citizens and neighbors, how to talk about things that matter with people you love without becoming contentious, and why it matters SO MUCH to be informed with our country. I really believe you'll find so many takeaways that will help all of us navigate these current uncharted waters with the rapid changes we're seeing in our country, now and leading up to an election year.   Visit Beautycounter.com with Promo Code: MINTARROW for 10% off your purchase of $100 or more Get your first month FREE on select crates at KiwiCo.com/MintArrow   Show Notes:   American Moms Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theamericanmoms/ The American Moms website http://theamericanmoms.com/ Book recommendation “You Learn by Living” by Eleanore Roosevelt   Best books on politics for kids http://theamericanmoms.com/12-of-the-best-books-to-teach-patriotism-to-your-children/ American Moms recommendations for easy to follow news sources: @minutewithmads on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/minutewithmads/?hl=en The Skim morning news email and afternoon podcast https://www.theskimm.com/ BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news The Wallstreet Journal https://www.wsj.com/ Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/ C-span https://www.c-span.org/   Produced by Dear Media
