1. Congrats! Your book in paperback is EXCELLENT news, both for you & for the future of our world. 2. Yes, I am also fascinated w #tradwives. And it's weird to realize I kinda sorta was one (but, you know, without the picture perfect visuals & Instagram account) for a number of years. I mean, I was at home raising 4 kids, homeschooling the ones old enough for that, had 2 unmedicated water births at a midwife-run birth center....
Hi Jennifer! In my mind, the #tradwives movement is quite different than an individual woman doing what is best for her / her family at any given time. Even aside from the fact that they document / share intimate details of their day with their followers. The movement encourages other women to do the same (harmful) and there is explicit messaging about how women should be subservient to their husbands (very harmful.) It was fun to talk to Meredith a bit and unpack all that.
ooooo I can't wait to read this!!
YAY!
Congrats, Kate! I continue to recommend this incredibly practical and compassionate book!
