About this listen

 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.All rights reserved Political Science Politics & Government

  • Why the Next Generation Isn’t Buzzed | Ericka Andersen

    Why the Next Generation Isn’t Buzzed | Ericka Andersen
    Jan 31 2026
    “Dry January” is upon us—the annual reset when people swear off alcohol for a month, whether for health, discipline, curiosity, or recovery. While some are opting to detox from alcohol during the month of January, something bigger is happening beneath the surface: an entire generation is quietly walking away from alcohol altogether. A 2025 Gallup poll found that only 50% of young adults ages 18-34, reported they drink—down from 72% two decades prior. And yet, alcohol still sits at the center of modern social life—networking events, happy hours, girls’ nights out, and dating culture. If you don’t drink, you’re expected to explain yourself. In a culture that normalizes constant consumption, slipping into sipping habitually can be like a frog in slowly boiling water; you don’t notice the danger until alcohol starts stealing your clarity, your relationships, your peace, and eventually your purpose. This week’s Problematic Women, Ericka Andersen, knows this song and dance all too well. She joins this week’s episode to make the case for sobriety in a culture so hellbent against it. Andersen, the author of “Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith,” shares the story of her personal relationship with alcohol and how she leaned not only on facts, but also on her faith, to find her way out. We also break down the latest trends and statistics on alcohol consumption and what that says about the state of our culture.

  • She’s the Last Line of Defense Before Abortion: Where Desperate Mothers Turn

    She’s the Last Line of Defense Before Abortion: Where Desperate Mothers Turn
    Jan 24 2026
    The reasons why women seek abortion have not changed, but society and culture have, according to Emily Berning, president and co-founder of Let Them Live. Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood use flashy, professional, and sometimes seductive social graphics and short-form videos to target young women across social media with a pro-abortion messages. If the pro-life movement is going to capture the attention of the next generation, then they must employ a similar strategy, according to Berning. Today, 76% of Gen Z believes abortion should be legal in almost all cases, according to Pew Research, proving the goal to instill a culture of life in America has yet to be reached. While the demand for abortion remains, Berning and her team at Let Them Live are filling a practical need for moms considering abortion. The nonprofit, first founded in 2019, provides practical financial support to women considering an abortion. Let Them Live will, for example, pay an expectant mother’s rent for a year or will take on the woman’s car payment or utility bill while she works to find a job that allows her to be a mother and provider for her child. Just last year, the group celebrated 1,000 babies saved from abortion. Berning joins “Problematic Women” to share about the work of Let Them Live and discuss how the next generation views the fight for the unborn. Connect with our hosts on socials!

  • Biggest Issue Facing Fight For Life | Marjorie Dannenfelser

    Biggest Issue Facing Fight For Life | Marjorie Dannenfelser
    Jan 17 2026
    A pro-life policy organization is calling on President Donald Trump to do more to protect the unborn. While Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the large policy organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, says no president has done more for the pro-life movement than Trump, she argues the president has not championed the issue as he did during his first term. Trump, however, might not be the only conservative who appears less inclined to discuss or take action on the pro-life cause following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Have conservative moved on from the issue? Dannenfelser joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss. Also on the show, Dannenfelser explains why the abortion pill is the biggest issue facing the fight for life in 2026. Plus, the Department of Health and Human Services received criticism after releasing millions in funding to Planned Parenthood. But did they have a choice? All this and more on this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.” Enjoy the show!
