What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she’s now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.

Together they discuss:

• Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.
• The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.
• How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.
• Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.

From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.
