What’s Broken in American Politics and How We Fix It with Liz Minnella

In this episode of Tell Me Everything, I sit down with political organizer and strategist Liz Minnella for an honest conversation about power, burnout, and what civic engagement actually looks like right now.

Liz shares how she pivoted from a career in sales and marketing into political organizing in her mid-30s—and how everyday women, especially mothers, are playing a critical role in shaping local and national politics. We talk about why silence isn’t neutral, how policy shows up in our daily lives, and why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re powerless.

This conversation covers:

• Why politics feels so personal—and exhausting—right now
• How women are organizing without running for office
• What to do when you care deeply but feel burned out
• The role of social media, community, and local action in real change
• How to stay engaged without sacrificing your mental health

If you’ve ever felt like the system is broken, wondered whether your voice matters, or struggled with how to stay informed and involved without losing yourself, this episode is for you.
