48. The Truth About Tradwives with Jo Piazza

What’s really happening behind the dreamy farmhouse aesthetic of tradwife content? In this episode with journalist Jo Piazza, we're exploring the complex reality behind the perfectly curated images of traditional womanhood.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why tradwives are a "political branding machine designed to make women participate in their own oppression"

* How many of these women are renting houses, staging content, and creating fake versions of their lives

* Why conservative groups have been funding and boosting tradwife content for nearly a decade

* The hypocrisy of tradwife influencers benefiting from feminist progress while trying to deny it to others

* How Mormon women became some of the earliest and most successful mom influencers

* What we can all do to combat these dangerous narratives while still respecting women's actual choices

Jo Piazza is a journalist and author. Her new book, EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU, is about Trad Wives and is out next month!
