Sourdough, soft lighting, and submission...what could possibly go wrong?
This week on Left of Midlife, we're unpacking the rise of tradwife influencers like Nara Smith and Ballerina Farm - and the cozy, curated "soft life" they're selling online, and they hypocrisy of telling women to stay home while building massive influencer careers. We talk about why this content feels comforting in chaotic times - and why it's not just a trend, but a political push with real consequences.
From financial dependence to unsafe relationships, we unpack why women's education, income, and autonomy are never optional. This episode is about choice, power, and protecting your options.
