Trad Wife, Boss Babe - What Defines a Happy Modern Wife? [EP89]

**Trad Wife. Boss Babe. Stay-at-Home Mom. Career Woman.**

Why does the internet insist women must choose sides?

In this episode, we slow the conversation way down and explore the evolution of the *“trad wife”*—from the 1950s homemaker, to the Superwoman era, to today’s deeply nuanced, choice-driven lives women are actually living.

This is **not** a debate and **not** an attack on either path. It’s a real, lived conversation about:

* Why homemaking and child-rearing are often viewed as “less than”

* How feminism expanded choice… and sometimes created new pressure

* The exhaustion of “doing it all”

* The return of the trad wife—and why it looks very different today

* Career, caregiving, creativity, money, autonomy, and respect

* How to design a life that aligns with *your* values—not social media labels

I also share my personal story after decades as a pilot wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur, and what I now call a **“rad wife”**—forging my own path without losing identity, autonomy, or ambition.

If you’re navigating:

* Marriage or partnership expectations

* Career vs. home (or blending both)

* Money dynamics and independence

* Motherhood, identity, and fulfillment

* Or simply feeling judged for your choices

This episode is for you.

✨ **Inside the episode, you’ll also hear:**

* How to start honest conversations with your current or future spouse

* How to define your priorities (and revisit them as life changes)

* Why routines, flexibility, and creativity matter more than labels

* How to ignore outside noise without burning bridges
