Amy's involvement with Left Leaning Ladies grew from her belief that women's voices deserve to be heard, especially in rural communities where progressive perspectives are often overlooked. Passionate about women's rights, civic engagement, and challenging the status quo, she saw L3 as an opportunity to help create a space for honest conversations, meaningful advocacy, and a little humor along the way. 

As Associate Producer, Creative & Operations Director, and co-host, Amy brings a background in education and instructional design to the team. She oversees L3's branding, visual identity, and website development while coordinating guests, managing scheduling, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Outside of L3, she's an avid reader, true crime podcast enthusiast, and Disney World devotee who believes there's always room for a little pixie dust, even when you're busy fighting the patriarchy.

Chelsa got into social media by using Facebook like a personal diary, with no plan, just honesty. Over time, it took off, and she realized people were craving something real. She stayed because she believes storytelling builds community, and community creates change. She’s been called everything from a “libtard cunt” to a threat to America, with grown men showing up in her inbox daily. The wildest part, she says, is that the same people who claim to hate her never miss a post, which she jokingly considers a fan base.

Despite the chaos, Chelsa continues because the community she’s built is louder than the negativity. She’s seen people find support, resources, and genuine connection through her platform, and that impact matters far more than any trolls. Something many people might not know is that she is in recovery from heroin and pills and has been sober for years. That experience drives everything she does, as she understands what it’s like to need help and works to create spaces where people feel safe asking for it.

Lisa got into social media thanks to Chelsa encouraging her to jump in. While she’s received plenty of chaotic comments, one of the funniest—not necessarily the most unhinged—was someone telling her, “you have swallow so many unborn children, you sound childish when you speak.”

Despite the chaos, she stays in this space because she believes courage is contagious. If she can handle hundreds of MAGA comments, she hopes it gives others the nerve to speak out in their own lives. Surprisingly, in her day-to-day life, she describes herself as a fairly low-key, stay-at-home wife who has been married to a Republican for 35 years.

Despite that, she continues to stay in this space because the support network she has built far outweighs any amount of internet trolling. Something people might be surprised to learn about Meredith is that she lived in Tucson, Arizona for seven years and once worked as a horseback riding instructor at a therapeutic ranch. She also enjoys spending her Midwestern summers fishing and regularly creates 3D-printed pins for local protests.

Despite the chaos, she continues because the people they do reach truly appreciate it. She’s helped build a strong, supportive community that spans multiple counties, which makes it all worth it. Something people might be surprised to learn is that she studied psychology in college, and she’s also double-jointed, with arms that bend backward a bit.
