In this episode, I’m unpacking the lightning rod topic of Tradwives—traditional wives embracing a 1950s family aesthetic in a hyper-modern world. I explore their rise in pop culture, the allure of simplicity, and the backlash from feminists, skeptics, and everyone in between. Why does this lifestyle stir such strong feelings? And what does it say about where we are as women today? We’ll also take a closer look at cultural icons like Ballerina Farm, unpack their carefully curated lives, and ask the ultimate question: Is it fantasy, freedom, or something else entirely?
