The Inspector Mama Podcast Navigating the baby aisle is so daunting. Finding a playgroup is scary. Does the five second rule apply to a pacifier? And everyone tells you to relax! Is it so wrong to want to know everything about sippy cups? A little neurosis is okay! ​ The Inspector Mama podcast will focus on a different topic each week. You will get the low down on homemade applesauce, pre & pro-biotics, parenting styles, baby safety, politics and more. This is a safe space for parents that w ...

Tomorrow, we’ll be wishing our loved ones “akemashite omedetou gozaimasu” - or, Happy New Year, in Japanese. If you’re a long-time listener, you know that DEI work (or whatever we’ll be calling it going forward) is personal to us. We’re both the daughters of a Japanese immigrant parent and a white American parent each; the ideas of multiculturalism…

Today’s episode seems to be addressing this question: does politics show up in our everyday lives? Maybe even in our most intimate relationships? And while a lot of folks may be saying politics doesn’t impact me, I don’t do politics… we think the actual answer for most of us in this country is a resounding YES (in fact, we’ve recorded whole episode…

There are SO many insightful conversations and incredible stories we’ve shared on this show, and this one was yet another example of one where we went in thinking one thing, and came out thinking another. Because we’ll be talking with an incredible advocate about ableism and disabilities - a label that, if we aren’t already impacted by it, is a lab…

In this episode of Inspector Mama, we peel back the layers of Thanksgiving to uncover the history and traditions we often overlook: What We Cover Thanksgiving’s True History A closer look at the story of the Wampanoag people, the consequences of colonization, and the overlooked truths about the first Thanksgiving. Learn how this holiday connects to…

We’ve had a lot of focus on this show leading into Election 2024 about the state of the country and the deep divides that we’re seeing in society. We’re grateful to and for everyone who worked to ensure that democracy worked in early November. AND, given the election results, we know that these divides still exist and have the ability to grow even …

Hey familia! In today’s episode of Inspector Mama, we dive deep into the future of this podcast, our community’s resilience, and what it means to keep pushing forward. From discussing Kamala Harris’s recent election loss to celebrating the wins of our local leaders, we explore the importance of representation and political activism in the Latinx an…

When we first recorded this episode, we were at the end of the Trump presidency, when we still had a legal right to abortion in this country. Roe v. Wade was still the law of the land, and women had access to safe abortion options in many states. Now, on the eve of the 2024 Presidential elections, abortion is on the ballot in a post-Dobbs world, wh…

Trump lies repeatedly. He’s shown us who he is. He’ll continue to try distancing himself from Project 2025 because it’s come under fire in public and he’s very image-savvy, but be very, very clear - this is his policy agenda outline. Listen to more of Trump’s policies in his own words, along with more on Project 2025, in this episode. And if you wa…

You know how we both feel about the phrase “oh, stop being so political” for the simple reason that politics IS personal. Political choices impact most things you do on the daily, and often involve the things you care about the most for your community. That’s why, today, we wanted to speak to someone who may not look like who you think of when you …

What comes to your mind when you picture someone who’s resilient? Usually, we hear that it’s one person who’s faced a setback, and they remain hopeful and willing to work through the challenges to return to some sort of life they had before. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “pick themselves up by their bootstraps” to describe this type of person. We k…

Most of us say we’d speak up and do the right thing - that we’d not conform to horrible societal standards. We hear that, for example, when people speak about what happened during World War II in Europe. Would you have been part of the Resistance, knowing that the risk included not only social shunning but indeed death? But we also hear that so man…

We’re going to be sharing this episode today, which if you’re listening in real-time, is shortly after President Biden stepped aside, not accepting the Democratic nomination and instead, getting behind his VP Kamala Harris - our country’s first female VP, and first Asian and Black VP as well. Today’s episode is focused on acknowledging the contribu…

So we’ve spoken inspirationally and aspirationally about wellbeing, the power of the pause, about spirituality. But what if my brain is still going, but I can’t wrap my head around this all – I need some more structure, some more tools, some more intellectual perspective!? We’ve got a book for you! And if you’ve been a longtime listener to the podc…

In the five-plus years of the podcast, I’d say that we have spent a LOT of time on various “hot button” issues - I mean, we live quite squarely in the ones that surround race and identity, wouldn’t you say? - but one of the facets of identity that we don’t often explore is that of religion. Not because we don’t want to talk about it, but a lot of t…

This one goes out to all the busy women in our community. Whether you’re a Type-A, a Recovering Type-A, a paid working mom or a working mom in the home - we hear it over and over again: we women are feeling stretched super thin, exhausted, and overwhelmed. Enter a radical mindset shift: the power of rest. We’re excited to bring you a conversation w…

I don’t know that there’s a better book and conversation to kick off our summer author series with than this one. We’ve said for a while now that there’s a benefit to applying a psychological, human-based lens to the social justice learning we’ve been sharing on this show for the last five years. This conversation shows us why we are spending our s…

This episode is a continuation of last week’s episode, so if you haven’t already listened to that one (it should be right above this one in your podcast feed), stop and go listen now, as it will make the most sense when listened to in order. This week we pick up where we left off, with the remaining four independent dimensions of well-being: spirit…

In our last episode, we went through reasons - issue by issue (not all of them, but a lot of them) - about why our freedom and democracy are at risk if you vote for Trump and he gets elected for president again in 2024. In brief, things like his stance on immigration and making America a white-supremacist-centered nation; Ukraine and what that says…

You know that person you know - the one who exaggerates everything? It’s kind of like that story of the blameless “boy who cried wolf” who lives in fantasy land and never takes responsibility for anything - and this person seemingly has not only the best life anyone could ever imagine, with loads of money, tons of friends, amazing vacations, but al…

This week marks the FIVE-YEAR anniversary of the Dear White Women podcast! That means we’ve outlasted almost all the other podcasts out there… like ya knew we would. From those first few episodes released altogether on April 15, 2019, to now… it’s been quite the ride. This year, in order to kick off year SIX (!!!) of the podcast, we thought we’d de…

If you know us, you may know that we LOVE a good conversation - even if it’s uncomfortable or difficult. But this year, as we head into what seems to be ONLY conversations that are uncomfortable or difficult, how do we best do that? If the idea of even talking to someone now gives you pause, then this is the episode for you. The connection quality …

“Oh, that’s so political.” “We don’t talk about politics here.” “Stop being so political.” Have you heard that before, when someone brings up a topic that may have been mentioned in the news (or on social media)? Maybe you’ve even been the one that said it. But - have you ever heard it explained what exactly “political” means in this context? Or wh…

If you’re listening to this episode around the time when it’s being released, then you’ll be listening to this right on the last day of Black History Month in the United States. It should go without saying that Black History is American History, but we’re going to say it anyway, and we’ll add that it shouldn’t be confined just to the shortest month…

In honor of Presidents’ Day coming up next week, we thought we’d focus on president…ial immunity. See what we did there? With this episode, we’re kicking off a new “why should we care about…” series on DWW where we focus on the WHY behind important issues, so that we go into November making the most informed decisions we can about the candidates AN…
