Together, Sophia and Noelle dive into: The rise of the “tradwife” movement — and where it goes right (and wrong)The secular “boss babe” narrative — and what Scripture says about ambition and workCommon Christian myths about marriage and singlenessThe lie that marriage is a reward for godlinessThe truth that singleness is not a punishmentWhat it really means to be faithful in the season God has you in As two Christian women navigating their mid-20s and beyond, Sophia and Noelle speak candidly about unmet expectations, the “ring by spring” culture, and the pressure many women feel to hit certain life milestones on a specific timeline. They remind listeners that: Marriage is not the ultimate purpose — Christ is.You are not incomplete without a spouse.God’s promises are about salvation, not a wedding date.Both singleness and marriage are tools in God’s hands.

    63: Feminism vs. Biblical Femininity, with Guest: Faith Ozenbaugh

    Sophia Lorey is joined in Episode 63 of This Is a Woman Podcast by Faith Ozenbaugh, National Director of Young Women for America, for a candid and thought-provoking conversation on feminism versus biblical femininity and why the distinction matters. Together, Sophia and Faith unpack how modern feminism has shifted across its waves, ultimately leaving many women confused, discouraged, and disconnected from their God-given design. Faith walks listeners through the origins of the feminist movement, explaining where early legal victories gave way to ideological extremes that now undermine women, family, and truth itself. The conversation then turns toward biblical femininity not as a rigid checklist or cultural trend, but as a heart posture rooted in surrender to Christ and grounded in Scripture. Drawing from women throughout the Bible, including Deborah, Sophia and Faith highlight how Scripture affirms women as strong, wise, courageous leaders who flourish when they live in alignment with God’s design rather than cultural pressure. Listeners will also hear a clear breakdown of common misconceptions surrounding submission, marriage, and womanhood, as well as a thoughtful critique of both radical feminism and the modern “tradwife” movement. Faith explains why neither extreme reflects the full biblical picture and why femininity is not limited to marriage or motherhood, but expressed faithfully in every season of a woman’s life. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: femininity is not a burden, weakness, or form of oppression. It is a gift. Sophia and Faith encourage young women to reject the lies of feminism that demean womanhood, embrace biblical truth with discernment, and find joy, freedom, and purpose in the way God uniquely created them.

    62: Inside the Supreme Court: What the Justices Really Said About Girls’ Sports

    Sophia Lorey is fresh back from Washington, D.C.—where she stood outside the U.S. Supreme Court during hours of oral arguments in two major girls’ sports cases. In Episode 62, Sophia is joined by attorney Brittany Jones, President of Kansas Family Voice (https://kansasfamilyvoice.com/about/), who was inside the courtroom as the justices grilled attorneys on the meaning of sex, equal protection, and what Title IX was always meant to protect. Together, they break down the two cases—Little v. Hecox (Idaho) and West Virginia v. BPJ—and explain why the legal questions matter far beyond those states. Brittany walks listeners through what it’s like to attend Supreme Court arguments in person, what stood out from the bench, and why the court’s questions often hint at the next cases already coming down the pipeline. You’ll hear reactions to some of the most striking exchanges, including pointed questions about defining sex and whether separating sports by sex is “discrimination”—and why the stakes aren’t theoretical for female athletes. Sophia and Brittany also connect the moment to state-level fights (including California), and explain how a strong ruling could shift the pressure back onto legislators in states that still refuse to protect girls’ sports.
