In this debut episode of Tenessa Talks, host Tenessa Audette invites her friend and local mom-of-three, Ericka Jones, for a candid conversation about life in America, community, and what it really feels like to be on the front lines of local government.Tenessa opens up about the realities of serving as an elected official—the frustrations she hears from the public, the trade-offs in government decision-making, and why understanding who to be mad at actually empowers people to make real change. This is not a polished political speech—it’s a real, living-room conversation about freedom, family, and the challenges of civic life, filled with humor and honesty.Whether you’re curious about local politics, community leadership, or just want to hear two friends talk about life with authenticity, this episode will make you feel like you’re right there on the couch with them.
