Breaking Up The Boys’ Club (with Christina Reynolds and Meredith Lawson-Rowe)

On today’s episode, Red Wine and Blue founder Katie Paris is filling in for Rachel Vindman. Katie, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein discuss their experiences with being the only woman in the room. Sometimes it can be tempting to prove to the men in charge that we’re “different." That we’re “one of the boys." But what we really need to do if we want to break up the boys’ club is to support other women. Our hosts then chat with Meredith Lawson-Rowe, a suburban mom from Reynoldsburg Ohio, about running for city council alongside a group of other strong supportive women.

After that, Jasmine chats with Christina Reynolds, the VP of Communications with Emily’s List and the co-author of a new book, “Run To Win: Lessons in Leadership For Women Changing The World.” They discuss the work that Emily’s List does, how Jasmine herself was an Emily’s List candidate, sexism, Leslie Knope, and a lot more. Finally, our hosts raise a glass to water-skiing, volleyball, and other new experiences in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”

In our next episode, we'll be talking about Covid and—lucky for us—one of our hosts happens to be a microbiologist! So we want to know... what are you stressed about? Are there any questions you've been too afraid to ask? Send us your worries or your questions at theswppod@redwine.blue.
