Conservative women are “Problematic Women.” We are proud to be pro-life, pro-family, and pro-traditional American values. Because we don’t fit the left’s version of what a feminist should be, we have been labeled PROBLEM and we have embraced the title.
Conservative and Proud: Is the Right Representing Women?
The conservative movement has undergone drastic changes in the past decade, not least of which is the way the political right messages to women. The shift has been subtle; a movement built on the shoulders of conservative leaders who have spent years rejecting the harms of the feminist movement while recognizing that women can “have it all,” just maybe not all at once.
On this episode of “Problematic Women,” we are remembering our history, both as a show and as a member of a movement that has worked to tell women they can be feminine, strong, pro-life, and live out the call God has placed on their lives in the home and the workplace.
Also on today’s show, we announce that after a nearly decade-long run, “Problematic Women” is taking a sabbatical. Join us for the final episode – at least for now.

Don't Make These Etiquette Blunders! How to Navigate 'Awkward Moments' | Alison Cheperdak
Knowing which fork to use or when to put your napkin on your lap at a formal dinner is important, but etiquette extends far beyond galas and black-tie weddings, according to Alison Cheperdak.
Etiquette is “ultimately about kindness and respect and integrity and leading a life with compassion where you see the dignity in every human person, including yourself,” Cheperdak, the founder of Elevate Etiquette, says.
An important part of practicing etiquette is slowing down enough to listen to the person in front of you and ask engaging questions, she explains.
We’ve all been there — standing in the break room at work trying to think of something to say to the coworker you don’t know well, or awkwardly trying to excuse yourself from a stale conversation at a party. These are the situations Cheperdak provides practical tools for navigating in her new book, “Was It Something I Said?: Everyday Etiquette to Avoid Awkward Moments in Relationships, Work and Life.”
Cheperdak joins “Problematic Women” to share her favorite tools for navigating some of life’s most common and awkward social settings. Plus, she explains how she is using her etiquette knowledge to train White House interns and what some of the most common social mistakes young professionals make today.
