Check Out Momarchy’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Andrews.

Hi Momarchy, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Tanya and I met working for Hillary Clinton in 2016, between then and now we got married and had kids. A few times a year, we’d meet up for a spicy margarita and have the same conversation over and over about parenting, politics, and the absolute chaos of trying to do both. We couldn’t find a place that spoke to us, and we realized that other parents, especially moms, were having the same conversations, but didn’t have a place where it all felt honest, funny, and bullshit-free. So we created one. What began as two friends venting turned into a podcast and a community of moms who care about the world and want to laugh while making sense of it.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Momarchy was born out of chaos. We are two moms trying to record during nap times, after the nighttime routine, and between our day jobs. We have built a show and a community while juggling careers, babies and the mental load of literally everything. We had weeks where we questioned if anyone would listen, and anxiety about putting our true feelings out into the world. There were moments where balancing politics, motherhood, and a growing podcast felt impossible.

But the struggle is what made it real. Every challenge reminded us why we started this: moms deserve a space that doesn’t pretend everything is perfect. We don’t have unlimited time, fancy studios, or a team of twenty behind us, it’s just us figuring it out as we go. And honestly, that’s what makes it authentic. The road wasn’t and isn’t smooth, but it is ours, and we are so grateful it has grown to the place it is today.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Professionally, both of us are political consultants and have worked at some of the highest levels of politics, from working for US Senators, Governors, and Presidents, and helping candidates and organizations communicate winning messages that resonate with real people. Now that we are both moms, we live at the intersection of politics, storytelling, and motherhood. We specialize in breaking down complex politics into clear, relatable language, and we have helped build narratives that cut through noise and misinformation in our day jobs.

As the co-creators of Momarchy, a podcast and community built for moms who care about the world but don’t have time for the bullshit, we talk about parenting, politics, culture, and everything in between, with humor, honesty, and zero judgment. What we are most proud of is that we’ve created a space where moms feel seen and informed, and where important conversations don’t feel intimidating or exhausting.

What sets us apart is that we bridge two worlds that don’t talk to each other: the political world and the everyday reality of parenthood. We bring a no-nonsense, relatable voice to issues that usually feel inaccessible, and we do it in a way that feels real and approachable. Whether it’s political strategy work or the podcast, our goal is the same: to make people feel less overwhelmed, more informed, and more connected.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
If you’re just starting out, our biggest advice is this: don’t wait to feel ready. Momarchy didn’t start because we had the perfect plan, it started because we were having conversations that felt relevant and we decided to hit record. Start messy, start scared, start small… just start.

We also wish we knew earlier that perfection is the enemy of momentum. The episodes that felt the most chaotic or imperfect often resonated the most. People connect to honesty, not polish.

And finally: surround yourself with people who get the vision, even when you’re still figuring it out. Having one person for us it was eachother— who said “let’s do it anyway” is sometimes all you need to keep going.
