Laura Vanderkam: The Path to Time Abundance

Rep. Stephanie Bice: Unleashing American Innovation from Oklahoma to Artemis II

Oklahoma ranks #1 among states with the lowest cost of doing business. It's one of America's top states for oil production as well as the aerospace and defense industry, attracting innovators from more expensive coastal states. Karin Lips sits down with Representative Stephanie Bice, who represents Oklahoma’s 5th Congressional District and serves on the Appropriations Committee and the Committee on House Administration. Before entering Congress, Rep. Bice spent two decades in the private sector while raising her two now-adult daughters. Rep. Bice shares her perspective on how Congress can better serve Americans. She discusses how policymakers can better equip Americans—from working mothers to Artemis II astronauts—with the tools to think big, bold, and outside the box.

Sarah Isgur: What Most Americans Get Wrong About SCOTUS

Karin Lips sits down with Sarah Isgur—ABC News legal analyst, co-host of the Advisory Opinions podcast, editor of SCOTUSblog, and author of The Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court. In this episode, Sarah quickly busts the myth that the Supreme Court is simply divided along partisan lines. She takes listeners in-depth to show the surprising dynamics shaping decisions and the longstanding traditions that set the Court apart from the other federal branches. She and Karin also discuss growing executive power—and how that shift may leave the Supreme Court as America’s “last branch standing.” Beyond the bench, Sarah reflects on her unconventional career path and life as a mom of young boys, where Bluey has become (almost) part of the family.

From her early days in the Bush White House to becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Rep. Stefanik’s path prepared her for one of the most consequential congressional hearings in modern political history. The exchange of her questioning university presidents on antisemitism following October 7th captured global attention, triggered major resignations, and fueled a national debate over free speech, accountability, and leadership in higher education. School-by-school, Poisoned Ivies audits supposed leaders in American academia. A Harvard graduate herself, Rep. Stefanik considers ways elite institutions might recover. Rep. Stefanik shares what’s next for her in Congress and beyond as she exits Congress to focus on raising her son in upstate New York.

The Founding is About the Future: Yuval Levin on America’s Next 250 Years

Should Congress be larger—both in number and presence? Should American universities take more responsibility for forming good citizens? Should Americans disagree more than they do today? In this episode of The Conservative Woman’s Guide, Karin Lips is joined by Yuval Levin, director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and founder and editor of National Affairs. Karin and Yuval explore a revitalization of Congress in the age of social media, the responsibility of American universities to form better citizens, and the role of the Constitution when it comes to disagreement. Yuval shares about AEI’s education initiative for America’s 250th, “We Hold These Truths."
