🎙️ Odd Moms On Call is back with one of our biggest panels yet!

In this episode, Britt, Chelsea, Lindsey, Midori, and Jess dive headfirst into the recent dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education — and how it's already impacting families, students, teachers, and even homeschoolers across the country.

From the ripple effects on DEI programs and public school funding to the chaos around student loans and civil rights protections, we get real about what’s happening, what it means for our kids, and where we go from here.

Plus, we introduce our brand-new “Hot Takes” segment with a spicy debate: Are schools childcare? Spoiler: it’s complicated. Buckle up — it’s a passionate, honest, and deeply personal conversation about raising kids in this political chaos.

🎧 Tune in and join the conversation. Your voice matters.
