053 - Reclaiming Homemaking: A Feminist Reimagining of Home


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re reclaiming the word homemaker and reimagining what it means to create a home in today’s world.


For many, the word “homemaker” is tangled up with outdated ideals—images of 1950s domesticity, rigid gender roles, and unspoken expectations. But today, we’re breaking down those old paradigms and offering a new vision of home: one rooted in healing, sovereignty, leadership, and wholeness.


This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

  • Cringed at the word homemaker

  • Longed for more intention, peace, and purpose at home

  • Wanted to connect your inner healing with how you show up in your space

  • Felt called to lead, nurture, and create without losing your autonomy


We’ll explore:

  • Why the traditional idea of “homemaking” no longer fits

  • How to reframe homemaking as a spiritual and psychological practice

  • The power of home as a space for wellness, creativity, and activism

  • How modern homemakers are also entrepreneurs, healers, and guides

  • Why reclaiming home is a radical and empowering feminist act


Whether you're a home full-time, working, working from home or somewhere in between—this conversation invites you to reconnect with the power of creating home on your own terms.

Let’s rethink, reframe, and reclaim homemaking… together.
