    We just crossed our eight-year anniversary and it's time to do a 'State of the Podcast Address' where I'm opening up about why I keep pushing through the messy middle of my podcasting journey.

    Deep Dive: Trad Wives || preview for More Personal

    This episode originally aired on my listener-supported, premium podcast, More Personal. If you want access to more deep dives, including part two of this episode, honest reviews, casual convos, book reports, and other bonus content, make sure to become a supporter. As a woman navigating modern life, I find myself torn between two worlds. On one hand, I embrace traditional values: marriage, motherhood, and homemaking. Yet, I also recognize the importance of feminism and the pursuit of equality. Ultimately, I believe in a woman's right to decide, and navigate, her own path. The "tradwife movement," while appealing to some, raises concerns about potential limitations and societal pressures. Ultimately, the goal should be to create a society where women are empowered and valued for their contributions, regardless of their chosen path. Favorite Things 8 Year Giveaway!
