Be the Badass You Want To See In the World


The Katydids join Ashley to talk about stepping up your confidence game, working with friends, and owning the power of juggling parenting and work.

In a special episode taped during The Second City’s 24 Improv fundraiser in Chicago, benefitting Letters to Santa, Ashley is joined by three members of the improv troupe, The Katydids, who also star in their own TV Land show, Teachers. The four funny ladies answer readers’ questions about how to speak up at the office, what to do when you don’t want to work for a friend, and the notorious “having it all” myth.

Before you go, we hope you’ll consider supporting DAME’s journalism.

Today, just tiny number of corporations and billionaire owners are in control the news we watch and read. That influence shapes our culture and our understanding of the world. But at DAME, we serve as a counterbalance by doing things differently. We’re reader funded, which means our only agenda is to serve our readers. No both sides, no false equivalencies, no billionaire interests. Just our mission to publish the information and reporting that help you navigate the most complex issues we face.

But to keep publishing, stay independent and paywall free for all, we urgently need more support. During our Spring Membership drive, we hope you’ll join the community helping to build a more equitable media landscape with a monthly membership of just $5.00 per month or one-time gift in any amount.
