ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Sarah Stewart Holland has always had a passion for talking politics. As the creator and cohost of the hit bipartisan political podcast Pantsuit Politics, she has turned that passion into a career. When she’s not opining about policy or the latest political firestorm from behind the mic, Sarah is raising her three young sons with her husband in her hometown of Paducah, Kentucky, where she served on the Paducah City Commission.

Before turning to the mic, Sarah wrote about parenting and politics on her blog Bluegrass Redhead. Her writing has also been published on the Atlantic, Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, and BlogHer. Sarah received her BA from Transylvania University, and her JD from American University’s Washington College of Law in Washington, DC.

Beth Silvers is a wife, mother, recovering lawyer, and business coach. She lives in Union, Kentucky, with her husband, Chad; daughters, Jane and Ellen; and miniature schnauzer, Lucy. Beth received her JD from the University of Kentucky College of Law, then began her career in the Cincinnati office of Taft Stettinius and Hollister LLP as an associate. She worked in the firm’s restructuring group for almost six years before shifting her focus to human resources, diversity, and operations. When Pantsuit Politics and The Nuanced Life podcasts outgrew their status as hobbies, she left the firm and opened her coaching practice. Beth has been named a Human Resources Game Changer by WorkForce Magazine, one of Cincinnati’s “40 Under 40” business leaders, and one of Ohio’s Most Powerful and Influential Women by the Ohio Diversity Council. Beth is a ministry partner of Florence Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a graduate of Leadership Northern Kentucky, and member of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center board of directors. She loves people, politics, poetry, and watermelon.
