The rise of the #tradwife trend paints a romanticized picture of traditional gender roles—yet many of these so-called tradwives are far from staying at home quietly; they’re monetizing the lifestyle. In this episode, I challenge the allure of the tradwife movement and unpack what it means for ambitious mothers who want more than a life defined by outdated stereotypes. We’ll talk about the hidden costs of leaving the workforce, the impact on your long-term security, what message it sends to your children, and how perfectionism and ambition sneak into motherhood when it becomes your only “project.” Ultimately, this episode is not about self-optimization—it’s about finding your truth, reconnecting with your values, and carving out a life that’s truly yours, not one sold to you online.
